Algae, dirt, and mildew on your siding are what our house washing at T&T Powerwash takes off. Summers in New Castle County run humid. We soft wash the siding with a mild SH (sodium hypochlorite) and surfactant treatment. Then we rinse everything down, your plants included. To get your siding looking clean again, call (302) 415-3285.
Every home gets a wash built around what it’s made of. Some materials need a stronger mix, and we adjust before the treatment ever goes on.
Vinyl on single- and two-story homes is the house wash we do most often in the area. It gets our mild downstream mix, time to dwell, and a thorough rinse.
Hardie board and fiber cement get a treatment mixed for the material. From there it’s the same routine as vinyl: apply, let it dwell, rinse.
Brick is soft washed with a process matched to masonry. The treatment handles the cleaning, so the pressure stays low.
Stucco takes a stronger mix than vinyl. A large stucco home with heavy buildup costs more to wash, and we’ll say so at the estimate.
Wood siding gets a soft wash matched to wood. The chemistry does the work instead of force on the boards.
Metal siding is soft washed too, with a mix set for metal.
Oxidized siding, that chalky film on older vinyl, needs a different process than a standard house wash, so it's priced separately. It's also the surface most often damaged by high pressure, which is exactly why we soft wash.
Earlier pressure washing tends to make oxidation worse. We regularly get called out to fix pressure marks another crew left behind on oxidized siding. If your vinyl has that chalky film, mention it when you reach out. We'll look at it and price that cleaning at your estimate.
Here’s what sets a house wash from us apart.
Our soft wash keeps the pressure low and lets the treatment do the cleaning. That’s why a house wash from us never leaves marks on your siding, no matter what the house is made of.
Your beds and shrubs are part of every house wash, not an upgrade you pay extra for. We protect them by pre-rinsing, diluting, and neutralizing rather than throwing covers over them.
Two words come up in our Google reviews more than any others: responsiveness and communication. We answer the phone, we text you a quote you can approve in one tap, you get a prep checklist before we come and a heads-up when we’re on our way, and if we’re running late, you’ll hear it from us first.
On a wash day, that means you’re never left guessing about when the truck pulls up.
Call, text, or fill out our form and tell us about the house. We pull it up on satellite and street view, or you text us a couple of pictures. Simple jobs get a price right on the call, and the estimate never costs a thing.
Your quote shows up as a link. Approve it, and we send a couple of dates and times to choose from.
A few days before we come, you’ll get our short prep checklist, mostly moving small items and closing windows. We’ll handle anything heavy. And because there’s a minimum for any visit, adding the walkway or fence to your house wash costs far less than calling us back for it later.
That checklist is our Six Steps to Success, and it lands about three days out. A reminder follows, then a text once the crew is rolling. First jobs start at 9 AM, and later slots get a two-hour arrival window.
Our lead technician walks the property looking for problem areas, with you if you’re home. Meanwhile, our second technician hooks up to your water and checks that every window is shut tight.
We pre-rinse your plants and landscaping first. Then our soft-wash system applies the mild SH and surfactant mix to the siding, windows, and trim, and we give it time to dwell. Afterward everything gets a thorough rinse, including your plants a second time. Plant neutralizer goes on to finish protecting them.
We close with a walkaround of the house, and anything you point out gets handled before we leave. You can pay on site or through the invoice link. A review request follows, and later on, a check-in about your next cleaning.
Every house wash is priced for the specific home. Size and siding move the number most, and you get the exact figure with your free estimate.
If something isn't right, tell us on the day or three days later. We'll come back out, look at it with you, and make it right where cleaning can.
Most touch-ups happen during the final walkaround while we're still in your driveway. If something catches your eye after we've gone, a return trip isn't a question.
Yes, a soft wash gets your house clean because the treatment breaks down the growth and grime on the siding. Pressure isn’t what does the cleaning. The result also holds up longer than a pressure wash would.
A house wash takes 30 to 45 minutes on a small single-story home and about two hours on a two-story. It only runs past two hours when you add other services to the same visit.
No, we don’t wash mobile or trailer homes. They can’t give us enough water flow, and the wash carries a real risk of leaks.
Yes, we hook up to your outdoor spigots. Two working spigots is ideal, so let us know ahead of time if you only have one. A whole house wash uses about $10 of water. Please make sure the spigots are turned on before we arrive.
Most estimates never need a visit. Tell us what’s going on with your siding, and we’ll send a quote you can approve from your phone. Homeowners anywhere in New Castle County can get on the schedule by calling (302) 415-3285.
