Siding in New Karcher Estates carries algae on the shaded walls and an irrigation band along the bottom three feet. It sits in Nampa off W Karcher Rd near Caldwell Blvd in 83651, and it is one of the older subdivisions on this side of town, recorded 1985–1992 across 5 phases. It runs about 80 acres and about 265 lots, 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 Canyon County field dust — spring disking, the summer hay and mint cuttings, and the fall onion, sugar-beet and silage harvest, carried on the west wind off the Snake River plain. Each needs different treatment, which is why one pass with a pressure wand does a poor job on all three. Across about 80 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. Being this close to W Karcher means the road-facing elevation is always the one that needs the most attention.
Two things drive this in Nampa: untreated canal water through the irrigation line, and Canyon County field dust — spring disking, the summer hay and mint cuttings, and the fall onion, sugar-beet and silage harvest, carried on the west wind off the Snake River plain. Separately each is manageable. Together they bond, and that is the condition we are actually treating on a New Karcher Estates job. New Karcher Estates routes off W Karcher, so getting here is not a special trip.
Most New Karcher Estates customers book this alongside window cleaning. Partly that is price, partly sequence — washing walls after cleaning glass puts dirty water back on clean panes, and hanging lights before clearing gutters means working around your own strands in January.
New Karcher Estates is on our regular Nampa route, not a special trip. We already work S Pilar Way, W Izabella Ct, N Cliffrock Rd and Taurus Dr inside the subdivision. It routes off W Karcher, which is how we keep travel out of the price. We schedule by area rather than first-come, which keeps drive time down and holds prices where they are.

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.
