House washing in Hidden Springs is a chemistry job — soft wash, dwell time, rinse. It sits in Boise north of Beacon Light, between Cole Road and Curtis in 83714, and it is a turn-of-the-2000s subdivision, recorded 1998–1999 on one plat. It runs about 260 acres, with real variety in elevation and glass package, and that scale is part of the quote.

Exteriors here collect three separate things. On north and east elevations, where sun never fully dries the wall, you get algae and mildew as a green-black film. Along the bottom three feet you get mud splash and irrigation overspray staining — the same mineral that marks the glass marks the siding, and on light vinyl it reads as a permanent dingy band. Everywhere else you get decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. Each needs different treatment, which is why one pass with a pressure wand does a poor job on all three. We see it most consistently on the homes along N Andys Gulch Rd.
House washing is a chemical process, not a force one. We apply a surfactant and sodium-hypochlorite blend at low pressure, give it dwell time to kill the growth at the root, and rinse. High pressure drives water up behind lap joints and into the wall assembly, strips the chalking layer off aging vinyl, and on stucco and manufactured stone it will take the finish off outright. Soft washing kills the algae rather than knocking the top off it, which is why it stays gone longer. We pre-wet and rinse every bed on the wash path. That holds across 83714 generally, not just on this plat.
The local variable here is decomposed granite off the foothills, plus the winter inversion that traps particulate at ground level for weeks at a time. It does not act alone — it lands on glass and siding still damp from irrigation and binds into the mineral film, which is why Hidden Springs properties go from clean to visibly dirty faster than owners expect. If you are on W Hidden Springs Dr or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
This pairs naturally with window cleaning, and doing both on one visit is cheaper than two trips — setup and drive time are most of the fixed cost. It is also better work: there is an order these jobs should happen in, and doing them on separate days usually means doing one of them twice.
Hidden Springs is on our regular Boise route, not a special trip. We already work N Andys Gulch Rd, N 5th Ave, W Hidden Springs Dr and N Lookout Cir inside the subdivision. It routes off Beacon Light, which is how we keep travel out of the price. If you can tell us the nearest cross street we can usually quote without a site visit. Where a property is unusual — a lot of divided lites, difficult access, a steep lot — we would rather come and look than guess.

Not at soft-wash pressure. The mix is diluted, beds are pre-wet and rinsed, and we never drive water behind lap joints. We will point out anything already failing before we wash it.

$0.18/sq ft soft-wash. The final number depends on the property, and there is no contract and no membership requirement. Booking it alongside another service on the same visit is the cheapest way to do it.
Every one to two years for most homes. North-facing walls and anything shaded by a fence or neighbouring house grow back faster and may want annual attention.
The wash rinses them but it is not a window cleaning — soft-wash mix leaves residue on glass. Book them together and we do the glass after the walls, in that order.
