The “Duck Power Wash” House Wash — How We Clean Without Risk
Most “house washing” damage happens when someone uses too much pressure, the wrong mix, or skips basic protection steps. Our process is built around home safety, plant protection, and consistent results.
Step 1 — Pre-inspection & property protection
We start with a walkaround and protect sensitive areas as needed (ex: fixtures, certain outlets, locks, doorbells). This isn’t “extra”—it’s what professionals do.
Step 2 — Plant and landscape prep
We pre-rinse plants and surrounding areas, monitor runoff, and rinse again throughout the job.
Step 3 — Soft wash application (low pressure)
We apply a targeted soft wash solution and let it do the work—typically around garden-hose pressure—to lift algae and organic staining without forcing water where it doesn’t belong.
Step 4 — Thorough rinse + final walkthrough
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
We rinse carefully, check details, and finish with a final walkaround so you can see the difference before we leave.

Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing for Siding
| Topic | Soft Washing (Best for siding) | High-Pressure Washing |

Workers’ comp that includes roof walking

We maintain workers’ comp coverage that includes roof walking, which is a major safeguard across exterior services.
