Siding in Island Woods carries algae on the shaded walls and an irrigation band along the bottom three feet. It sits in Eagle south of Floating Feather, between Eagle and Park Center in 83616, and it is platted 1993–2000 across 6 phases — mature landscaping, original windows on most homes. It covers about 149 acres, large enough that we route it as its own stop, 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 river-bottom and foothills dust, plus the construction dust that comes with a city still building out its north and west edges. Each needs different treatment, which is why one pass with a pressure wand does a poor job on all three. Across about 149 acres the pattern barely varies here.
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. On Island Woods homes of this vintage we check condition before method, every time.
The local variable here is river-bottom and foothills dust, plus the construction dust that comes with a city still building out its north and west edges. It does not act alone — it lands on glass and siding still damp from irrigation and binds into the mineral film, which is why Island Woods properties go from clean to visibly dirty faster than owners expect. If you are on E Trailside 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.
Soft washing removes organic growth and dirt. It will not fix oxidised vinyl, it will not pull efflorescence out of masonry, and it does not repaint anything. Saying this plainly costs us the occasional booking and saves everybody the version where you find out on the day.

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.
