Cockeysville sits in limestone country — the marble that built half of Baltimore came out of the ground here — and that geology shows up on people’s houses. The water runs hard, and wherever a sprinkler or hose throws spray onto siding, brick or glass, it leaves a chalky white mineral crust behind.
That crust is not mildew and chlorine will not touch it. It is mineral scale, and it needs a different treatment entirely. Plenty of Cockeysville houses need both jobs done on the same visit: algae treatment on the shaded elevations, mineral removal wherever the irrigation has been hitting.
They are two different jobs, and using the wrong one is how siding gets wrecked. Pressure washing uses force and belongs on hard surfaces — concrete, brick and pavers. Soft washing uses very low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills mold, mildew and algae at the root, and that is what belongs on siding, stucco and roofs.
The green-black film on the shaded side of a house is organic growth, not dirt. Blast it with pressure and you knock off the surface, drive water behind the siding, and it grows back within months because the roots survived. Soft washing removes it properly and it stays gone far longer. On asphalt shingles, pressure washing strips the granules and can void the roof warranty outright, so a roof only ever gets soft washed.
Book a house wash with us and you get soft washing on the siding with appropriate pressure on the concrete, decided surface by surface. Knowing which is which is our job, not yours.
Local. Cockeysville is an easy run for us across the top of the Beltway. We are not a franchise driving out for the day.
139+ five-star reviews. A straight 5.0 across every job, window cleaning and exterior washing alike.
Insured, and careful with your property. We protect plantings, close up before we start and rinse everything down at the end. No dead shrubs, no soap film left on the glass.
One crew for the whole exterior. Plenty of Cockeysville customers have us wash the house and clean the windows in Cockeysville on the same visit — cheaper than two companies and done in one morning.
Most Cockeysville homes run $300 to $600, with hard water stain removal quoted on top if the irrigation has been hitting the house for years. Driveways usually run $150 to $300. Send a photo or your address and we will text you an exact price — no site visit needed in most cases.
It can. High pressure cracks vinyl, forces water behind panels and strips paint, which is why we soft wash siding instead. Low pressure and the right solution cleans better and does no harm.
Yes, though it is a separate job from a house wash. Those are hard water mineral deposits, common right through Cockeysville, and they need an acidic treatment rather than the solution we use on algae. Point your sprinkler heads away from the house afterwards and it will stay gone.
Every one to two years for most homes. Maryland humidity feeds mold and algae, and the north elevations on wooded Cockeysville lots hold damp well into the season. If you can see green on the siding, it is time.
Yes. Those streaks are roof algae and they respond to soft washing. We never put a pressure washer on shingles — it strips the protective granules and can void the manufacturer warranty.
