House washing in Columbia, SC
Soda City is the name this city gives itself on Saturday mornings on Main Street, and it is where our truck lives. That means shaded north walls under old trees, and a house wash here is mostly about getting the algae and mildew off without doing what a pressure washer does to siding. We soft wash: the cleaner kills the growth, the rinse is gentle, and the owner is on every job. We cover Shandon, Rosewood, Earlewood and everything between.
Included in every house washing job
The same house wash we do everywhere in the greater Columbia area, on city lots, some of them tight, with street parking.
- All siding washed, vinyl, brick, stucco or fiber cement, including the shaded side that grows back first.
- Soffits, fascia and gutter faces cleaned so the trim matches the walls when we finish.
- Windows rinsed so you are not left with spots everywhere.
- Plants protected. Beds pre-wetted and rinsed down after, every time.
- Walkthrough before we leave, so you see the finished work while we are still on site.
- Insured work, certificate sent to you or your HOA on request.
What a house wash means in Columbia
The green on a Columbia house comes from humid summers and the two rivers meeting downtown. Add the oaks over Shandon, Rosewood and the older streets near the university and the shaded side of a house stays damp from May to October, which is all algae and mildew need.
The housing stock is everything from 1920s bungalows to the new vinyl subdivisions in the Northeast, and each surface gets its own treatment. Vinyl comes clean at low pressure. Brick gets a soft wash so the mortar stays put. Painted wood gets a test spot first.
Pressure still has its place on the right surfaces, and the owner knows when to use it. On the house itself, the answer is almost always the soft wash, and it is what keeps the green away longer.

On the ground in Columbia
Most of our house washing calls in Columbia come from Shandon, Rosewood, Earlewood and the streets around Devine Street. The surfaces repeat, so here is how each one gets handled.
- Vinyl and fiber cement on everything from 1920s bungalows to the new vinyl subdivisions in the Northeast: soft wash, low pressure, rinsed top down.
- Brick and stucco: an even gentler mix so the mortar and the finish stay put.
- The shaded side, usually facing the oaks over Shandon, Rosewood and the older streets near the university: treated first and checked last, because it is where the growth is thickest.
- Beds and shrubs along Devine Street-style front yards: soaked before, rinsed after, covered if anything is delicate.

Questions we get asked
How often does a house in Columbia need washing?
Every 12 to 18 months for most. With humid summers and the two rivers meeting downtown, houses on shaded lots are closer to 12.
Can you reach the back of a house on city lots, some of them tight, with street parking?
Usually from the driveway or the street. Our hoses reach a long way. If a gate is locked, leave it open for the day and you do not need to be home.
