From century-old German Village brick to Clintonville bungalows to vinyl-sided ranches on the East Side, Columbus is a city of wildly different houses. We tune the wash to the surface — gentle soft-wash chemistry, never the 3,000-PSI blast that wrecks old brick and mortar.
House wash from $400 · quote in 24 hrsThere's no such thing as a "typical" Columbus home, and that's exactly why the right exterior cleaner matters here. Walk through German Village and Olde Towne East and you're looking at century-old, sometimes painted, brick. Clintonville and Beechwold are full of 1920s–40s bungalows and Tudors. The Hilltop and the South Side run older frame houses. Out toward the East Side, Eastmoor, and Berwick you get mid-century brick ranches and split-levels, while the newer rings of the metro are vinyl and Hardie-board.
Those surfaces do not all want the same treatment — and that's the whole reason a soft-wash specialist beats a generic "pressure washing" outfit in this city. High pressure on historic Columbus brick blows out the soft lime mortar between courses and peels paint off painted brick; on a 90-year-old roof it strips granules and voids the warranty. Our approach is the opposite: a low-pressure (~80 PSI) application of biodegradable surfactants that does the cleaning chemically, then a gentle rinse. The algae and grime lift; the masonry, paint, and shingles stay put.
Two patterns hold true across almost every Columbus neighborhood. The shaded, north-facing sides of houses go green with algae thanks to Central Ohio humidity and heavy tree canopy, and older asphalt roofs streak black. We treat both all season. We're based just east in Reynoldsburg, so the East Side, Bexley, and downtown are quick for us — and we cover the rest of the city too. Tight lot, street parking, narrow brick alley? Our rig is self-contained, so we set up curbside and keep your walks clear.
Every Columbus job is done by Marcus, Emily, and our trained crew — never subcontracted. Here's where we spend most of our time in town.
Brick, painted brick, stucco, vinyl, Hardie — soft wash is safe on every Columbus surface, and the only safe choice on the historic ones.
Columbus's older asphalt roofs streak black with algae. Soft-wash roof treatment clears it and keeps it gone — warranty-safe.
Heavy tree canopy in Clintonville and the older wards means packed gutters and tiger-striped fascia. We clear and brighten both.
Storefronts, dumpster pads, and walk-up facades around the city's business districts. Weekly, monthly, or one-shot deep cleans.
An older Columbus home with green-grey grime worked into the brick and trim. We never put a pressure tip near it. Soft-wash chemistry, a slow rinse, and a walk-around — the brick came back bright and the mortar never moved.
Yes — and it's the only method we'll use on it. The city has a lot of century-old and painted brick in German Village, Olde Towne East, and Clintonville. Pressure washing strips mortar and paint; soft wash cleans without the damage.
All of it. We're based in Reynoldsburg, so the East Side, Bexley, and downtown are closest — but we run jobs across the whole city, Clintonville and the North, West, and Hilltop included.
Those streaks are algae, very common on Columbus's older asphalt roofs. Our soft-wash roof treatment kills it at the root so it doesn't grow back for years — no high-pressure blasting that voids shingle warranties.
Constantly. Our rig is self-contained, so on tight lots and narrow brick streets we set up curbside, run our own water and tank, and keep the walkways clear.
