Out around Taneytown the houses sit in open country, and that cuts both ways. Sunlight keeps the broad elevations drier than a shaded suburban lot, but working farmland throws a constant fine dust that settles into siding texture, porch ceilings and window frames. Add spring pollen and you get a dull film that a garden hose will not lift.
North walls, porch ceilings and anything under a deep overhang still grow mildew out here, because those spots never see direct sun. A Taneytown house wash is usually detergent work on the broad walls and algae treatment on the sheltered sections.
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. Taneytown is about a half-hour run northwest of our Finksburg shop. 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 Taneytown customers have us wash the house and clean the windows in Taneytown on the same visit — cheaper than two companies and done in one morning.
Most Taneytown homes run $300 to $600, with larger farmhouses quoted after we see the footprint. 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, and we do a fair amount of it out this way. Metal-sided outbuildings and pole barns clean up well. Send a photo of the building and we will price it alongside the house.
Every one to two years for most homes. Maryland humidity feeds mold and algae, and open farmland dries quickly, but porch ceilings and north walls still hold mildew. 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.
