House Washing in Raleigh

House Washing done right, the first time

Vinyl, brick, stucco. Every type of siding in Raleigh collects mildew, pollen, and that gray-green film on the north-facing walls. Central Triangle Pressure Washing soft washes it off with low pressure and the right cleaning solution, so the dirt leaves and the siding stays put.

A pressure washer pointed at vinyl siding forces water behind the panels. We don't do that. In Raleigh we soft wash with low pressure and professional-grade detergent to clear mildew and pollen without driving water into your walls.

Raleigh siding splits by era. Inside the Beltline you are usually looking at painted wood or brick under oak canopy, which soft washes rather than pressure washes. North Raleigh and Brier Creek are mostly vinyl and fiber cement on newer lots, where the job is pollen and the shaded elevation rather than established growth.

Raleigh covers about as much variety as any city we work in. Inside the Beltline the houses are older brick and painted wood under heavy oak canopy, and the north side is newer vinyl and fiber cement on open lots. The first group greens up fast on the shaded elevations and wants soft washing. The second mostly wants the pollen off.

Raleigh commercial work is offices, medical parks, and retail centers with real foot traffic. Entry glass and walkway concrete are what customers see, and those need a schedule rather than an annual visit.

Neighborhoods we cover: North Hills, Five Points, Oakwood, Hayes Barton, Brier Creek, North Raleigh, Downtown, Cameron Village, Mordecai and the neighborhoods inside the Beltline.

Raleigh sits on red clay, and that matters more than people expect. After heavy rain, runoff carries iron-rich sediment onto driveways and the lower courses of siding, and it sets into a stain that does not respond to pressure alone. City water here runs moderately hard, so hose-dried glass and dark siding spot if they are rinsed and left. The oak canopy over the older neighborhoods holds humidity against north-facing walls well into the morning, which is why growth establishes on that side first and returns fastest.

Most of our Raleigh residential work is soft washing two-storey siding, restoring driveways that have gone green at the edges, and clearing gutters under mature oaks. On the commercial side we handle office park entrances, medical building walkways, and restaurant patios along the Glenwood and Hillsborough Street corridors. Multi-storey access and parking restrictions are the two things that most often change how a Raleigh job is scheduled.

Timing in Raleigh follows the pollen. The heavy yellow fall runs late March into April, and washing before it finishes just means doing it twice, so most house washing here books late April through May. North-facing walls under the older oak canopy inside the Beltline are the exception and can be treated any time growth appears. Driveways and walkways are less seasonal and are often better done in fall, when the concrete has weeks of dry weather ahead of it to cure clean.

Questions

House Washing FAQ · Raleigh

Will soft washing damage my siding?
No. Soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning solution instead of brute force, which is exactly why it is the right method for vinyl, stucco, and painted surfaces in Raleigh.
How often should I have my house washed?
Most Raleigh homes do well with a wash once a year. North-facing walls and shaded lots under trees may want it more often.
Do you bring your own water?
We can. If a hookup is not available on site we bring our own water supply, hot or cold.
Do you serve all of Raleigh?
Yes, from inside the Beltline out to Brier Creek and North Raleigh. We work the older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions alike, though the approach differs: painted wood and brick get soft washed, and newer vinyl usually just needs the pollen and film taken off.
How do you handle red clay staining in Raleigh?
Clay staining is iron, not dirt, so pressure will not lift it. We treat it with a product formulated for rust and mineral staining, then rinse. Most of it clears; long-set staining on porous concrete usually lightens substantially rather than disappearing, and we will tell you which you are looking at before we start.

“Central Triangle Pressure Washing did a great job washing our house! They were on time and worked hard to make our brick and vinyl house look better than ever! The dirty white vinyl and aluminum is now beautiful again! The outside stairwell going into our basement in particular was a nightmare and now it looks like new! Their pricing is also very fair. My husband and I highly recommend giving them a try! We will definitely use them again!”
