Commercial, HOA and specialty work
Storefronts, amenity centers, multi-building properties, graffiti and heavy rust are quoted per site, because access, hours and surfaces vary too much for a flat price. HOAs and property managers with several buildings get volume pricing and can set up a recurring schedule. HOA and property management.
Why a cheaper quote can cost more
Pressure washing is easy to underprice. A crew that blasts siding at full pressure finishes faster, but it can strip paint, force water behind panels and leave the algae alive to grow back in a few months. Soft washing uses low pressure and a solution that kills the growth at the root, plus time to protect your plants before and after. The clean lasts longer, so over a few years you pay less.
Before you hire anyone, ask three questions: do you soft wash siding and roofs, how do you protect landscaping, and are you insured. We are licensed and insured, we soak plants before and after every job, and if anything is missed we come back and fix it at no charge.
How often you will pay for it
In the Charleston area, most homes need a house wash every 12 to 18 months, sooner on shaded walls and near the water. Driveways stay white about a year. A properly soft washed roof stays clean for years. Spread out, regular exterior cleaning usually costs less per month than a streaming subscription, and it protects paint, siding and shingles you have already paid for.
