What needs washing off a house in Legacy is not really dirt. organic film on the elevations facing the ponds, and irrigation banding on the course side.
Seven acres of central pond plus the fishing ponds raise humidity measurably on the elevations facing them, and damp shaded walls grow the grey-green film that reads as dinginess rather than dirt. Course-side lots get a different problem: irrigation overspray carrying silt and dissolved mineral onto the bottom few feet of siding and stone. Both come off with a low-pressure soft-wash at $0.18 per square foot, and on the patio homes the square footage is genuinely modest.
Estate elevations mix materials — stucco fields, stone wainscot, timber accents, sometimes brick — and they do not all wash the same way. Stone and its mortar joints hold grit in the texture; stucco is porous and unforgiving of pressure; timber and painted trim want the gentlest treatment of all. Soft-washing at $0.18 per square foot handles the mix with low pressure and dwell time rather than one aggressive setting applied to everything. On a house this size we walk the elevations first, because quoting square footage sight unseen would be guessing.
The consistent problem on large landscaped lots is not the whole wall — it is the bottom three feet of it. Untreated canal irrigation throwing at stone wainscot and stucco leaves a gritty tan mineral band that reads as dinginess and does not rinse off. That band frequently needs different attention than the rest of the elevation, and sometimes the honest advice is to adjust the sprinkler heads first, because otherwise you are washing the same band again next year.
House washing is $0.18 per square foot on a soft-wash setting — low pressure with solution dwell doing the work, which is the right method for stucco, fiber cement, LP-style siding, painted lap and brick alike. Pressure washing at $0.20 per square foot is for flatwork only: driveways, patios and walkways, never siding.

House washing prices by square footage, so a compact patio home genuinely lands low rather than being charged a community rate. If the job is small enough that it is barely worth a trip, we will say so and suggest bundling it with windows.
It is the safe option — that is the point of it. Soft-washing uses low pressure and lets the solution do the work, so nothing is driven behind a lap or into stucco. What is not safe is a pressure wand on siding, which forces water behind the surface where it swells hardboard and rots sheathing out of sight.
Kill it. Green and black growth on a shaded wall has a root structure in the surface, so blasting the visible layer off means it returns within weeks from what is left. The soft-wash solution treats the growth itself, which is why it stays clean for a season rather than a fortnight.
We rinse plantings before and after and keep the solution off anything sensitive. Tell us about anything you are particularly protective of at the quote — a specialty plant, a new bed, koi in a pond — and we will plan around it rather than working it out on the day.
Yes — Eagle is one of our nine Treasure Valley cities and we run it as a regular route rather than a stretch call, from the Chinden edge up into the foothills. Call or text (208) 453-6760 and we will tell you the next open slot.
Our 7-Day Rain Guarantee covers it. Rain on a clean surface is largely harmless — it is the dust it lands on that spots. If a storm genuinely undoes the work inside seven days, we come back out.
