Central Florida is hard on the outside of a home. The heat, the humidity, the heavy summer storms, and the strong sun all work together, and the high oak pollen only adds to it. On top of that, overhanging oaks drop debris that feeds the buildup. Before long, the algae and organic growth start creeping across the siding and dulling the whole look of the house.
We clean it off with a soft wash, and we do it on every common siding type in the area. The low-pressure cleaner does the lifting, so your siding comes clean without getting beaten up in the process. Here at Holliday’s Pressure Washing Services, we take that approach so your siding keeps looking right long after our crew leaves.
If your Longwood home is showing that green or gray creep, we can help. Give us a call at (407) 276-1343 and we’ll walk you through it.
Every siding material calls for its own touch, so we match the soft wash to whatever your home is built with rather than treating them all the same. The method holds steady across the board, while the solution strength and the handling shift to suit each surface.
Vinyl gets a soft wash: a low-pressure cleaner application and a full rinse. Keeping the pressure low matters here, because high pressure can force water behind the panels where you don’t want it.

Hardy board is soft washed too. The chemistry lifts the algae and organic growth off the surface, so nothing needs to be blasted to get it clean.
Brick gets the same soft wash approach. We let the cleaner do the work instead of driving pressure into the mortar and masonry, which protects the joints over time.
Wood is cleaned with a wood-safe approach that preserves its natural color rather than bleaching it out. We reach for sodium metasilicate, which lifts the grime while leaving the wood looking like wood.
Stucco is very common on homes around here, and it soft washes well. The low pressure keeps the finish from getting pitted or gouged, which is exactly what pressure would do to it.

Metal takes extra care, so we adjust our handling to keep the surface safe. Metal shows up far more often as roofing than siding in this area, so when we do see metal siding, we treat it as the careful, less-common case it is.
There are a handful of real reasons homeowners have us back for their house washing, and each one shows up in how we run the job from start to finish.
Every roof, every siding type, and every pool screen we clean gets a soft wash, a low-pressure chemical application and a full rinse. We save real pressure for concrete, where it belongs, so the surfaces that high pressure damages stay protected. On a house wash that means the chemistry lifts the growth while your siding stays intact.
Protection runs through every visit: outlets, doorbells, cameras, and garage-door openers taped and sealed, plants pre-rinsed, downspouts bagged with a Neutropod to neutralize bleach, and pool decks rinsed away from the water. In practice, that means we waterproof every fixture before any cleaner ever touches the wall.
We use the lightest effective chemistry for each surface, dialing strength up only when the job demands it, sodium metasilicate to clean wood without bleaching its color, oxalic acid at minimum strength for rust, and Dragon Juice in place of bleach on TPO roofs with warranty restrictions. For your siding, the strength is set to what the surface needs through an adjustable proportioner, and diluted further on metal.
Bigger machines mean less time with loud equipment running outside your home. Our high-GPM setup, four-story long-reach unit, and 535-gallon tank let our crew finish faster, often from the ground. For a house wash, that means fewer interruptions to your day and no ladders leaned against your walls.
You don’t have to be home. You’ll get a text with our arrival time, before-and-after photos when we’re done, a digital invoice, and a secure online payment link, and a follow-up call a few days later to make sure everything still looks right. For a house wash, that means you stay in the loop at every step without having to be on-site for any of it.
From the first message to the final invoice, here’s exactly how a house wash goes with us.
Reach out by our online quote form or by phone or text, and our office answers personally and gathers your details on that first contact. From there we do a quick discovery call to clarify exactly what you’re dealing with, whether it’s algae or general buildup, so the job gets scoped right. Then you get a detailed written estimate priced by square footage, with realistic outcomes put in writing before you approve anything.
Once you approve the estimate, you’re placed on the schedule with a confirmed date. On the day of the job, the crew texts you an ETA before they arrive, so you’re never left guessing.
Before any cleaner touches the wall, every outlet, doorbell, security camera, and garage-door opener is taped and waterproofed. Plants are pre-rinsed, and downspouts are bagged with a Neutropod to neutralize bleach before it can reach your landscaping.
We apply a low-pressure cleaner, sodium hypochlorite and soaps dialed to the needed strength through an adjustable proportioner, one side of the house at a time so nothing dries on the surface. Each side is rinsed and second-checked before we move around the house, and a pump-up sprayer handles any stubborn spots. Metal siding is cooled and the solution diluted further to prevent flash-drying and chemical burn.
Once the tape comes off, we send before-and-after photos along with a digital invoice and a secure online payment link by text or email. A few days later we make a follow-up call to be sure everything still looks right, backed by our satisfaction guarantee on the whole job.
House washing is priced by the square foot, and the rate depends on the size of the home, the number of stories, and how heavy the buildup is. That keeps the price tied to the actual work in front of us rather than a one-size number, and it means a straightforward single-story home lands at the low end while a taller house with lots of corners sits higher.
No. Every siding type gets a soft wash, which is a low-pressure cleaner application and a full rinse. The chemistry lifts the algae and organic growth, so the wall itself is never blasted with high pressure. We save real pressure for concrete, where it belongs.
Most house washes take anywhere from about 30 minutes to an hour and a half. The exact time depends on the size of the home, the number of stories, and how heavy the buildup is.
