SOFT WASHING IN SAVANNAH:
WHAT WE SEE LOCALLY
Shade is what makes Savannah walls go green, and it doesn't take much of it. A north elevation shaded by the oak canopy through Ardsley Park or the Victorian District holds humidity from one afternoon storm to the next, and mildew colonizes painted clapboard, original stucco, porch ceilings and soffits long before the sunny side shows anything. None of those surfaces will take force. Water under pressure drives through a paint film, opens a seam in aging stucco, or gets behind trim where it has no way to dry — and the damage usually shows up months later as peeling or a stain bleeding through. Low pressure plus a cleaning solution kills the growth instead of sanding it off. Historic district rules can reach exterior work here, so it's worth confirming what's current before anything starts.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What is soft washing, and why not just use pressure?
Soft washing applies a cleaning solution at roughly garden-hose pressure and lets the chemistry do the work. What grows on a house here is biological — mold, mildew and algae — so killing the organism matters more than blasting the surface. Force is what damages siding, shingles, stucco and paint, and it drives water into places that can't dry. A rinsed wall looks clean for a few weeks; a treated wall stays clean because the growth was killed rather than knocked loose.
What drives the price of a house wash or roof cleaning?
Height and reach come first — a two-story with tight side-yard access takes considerably longer than a single-story ranch. After that: total wall area, which surfaces are included, and how far the growth has gone, since siding left alone for years soaks up more solution and often needs a second pass. Soffits, porch ceilings and how much landscaping needs protecting all factor in. Send photos of the worst elevation to start, or reach us at (912) 455-5073.
How often should a house be soft washed, and when is the best time?
Most homes in this climate want it every 12 to 18 months. Shaded, north-facing and marshfront walls run closer to annually; a sunny elevation can stretch further. Spring, after the oak and pine pollen has mostly dropped, and fall, once the worst heat breaks, are both good windows — mild temperatures let the solution dwell instead of drying on the wall before it works. We clean year-round here, and winter is often the quietest stretch of the calendar.
Is soft washing safe on an asphalt shingle roof?
It is the approach shingle manufacturers generally recommend. Those black streaks are algae feeding on limestone filler in the shingle, and rinsing the surface only removes what has already died on top. A low-pressure application kills the growth without lifting tabs or stripping granules, which is what a pressure wand does to a roof. Gutters and downspouts get protected and runoff kept off plantings. An older or brittle roof is a different conversation, so mention its age when you call.
Will the solution hurt my plants or my paint?
Not with proper prep. Plants and grass get soaked before we start, sensitive material is shielded, and everything gets rinsed again at the end — diluted solution on already-saturated foliage is not the problem; letting it sit and dry on leaves is. Sound paint and intact finishes are unaffected at the dilutions used. Where paint is already failing or wood has gone soft, washing tends to reveal it, so it helps to tell us about known problem areas ahead of time.
