What does house washing in Normal Heights cost?

House washing in Normal Heights costs $250 to $500 for a single-story home under 1,500 sq ft and $450 to $900 for a two-story. We soft wash stucco and painted wood siding at 100 to 150 PSI with a sodium hypochlorite mix, and most homes take two to five hours on site.

Most of the houses we wash between Adams Avenue and the canyon rim are 1920s and 1930s bungalows. Painted wood lap siding, old stucco, and trim with a lot of layered paint. That mix decides how we work.

Why we never pressure wash Normal Heights siding

A 3000 PSI wand will drive water behind lap siding and lift decades of paint in a single pass. We have repaired that kind of damage for a neighbor of a customer on Felton Street. It was not cheap for them.

So we soft wash. Low pressure, a measured chemical mix, and a 10 to 15 minute dwell so the algae and mildew die at the root instead of getting blasted around.

What we find on houses near the canyon

Canyon-edge lots stay damp. The north and east walls grow green algae from October through April, and the marine layer keeps it from drying out between mornings.

Stucco shows black streaks under the eaves where roof runoff sits. Wood trim shows mildew at the bottom six inches where sprinklers hit.

How we wash a Normal Heights house

1. Walk the property and mark window seals, loose paint, and any cracked stucco.
2. Pre-wet plants and cover electrical boxes and exterior outlets.
3. Apply the soft wash mix from the ground up, then let it dwell.
4. Rinse from the top down at about 4 GPM, keeping the wand angled away from window frames.
5. Rinse the plants again and check the walkways for runoff residue.

Pricing by home type

Bundling the driveway with the house on the same trip usually runs 15 to 20 percent under two separate visits. Setup is the expensive part.

Hillside access changes the number. If the truck cannot get within 100 feet of the work, we run extra hose and the day gets longer.
