House Washing in Ballantyne, NC

House washing in Ballantyne is bread-and-butter work for us because the housing stock — most of it built from the late 1990s through the 2010s in neighborhoods like Ballantyne Country Club, Thornhill, Ardrey, and Piper Glen — is almost entirely EIFS, Hardie board, and brick veneer with Hardie accents. All three of those substrates require soft washing, not pressure washing. We run under 1,000 PSI with biodegradable surfactant and a controlled sodium hypochlorite mix that kills the algae and mildew at the root rather than blasting it off the surface.

The combination of irrigation overspray, mature landscaping, and shaded north elevations on these large two-story homes creates persistent green algae on the lower courses of Hardie and dark mildew streaking on stucco gables. We pre-saturate beds and boxwoods, neutralize runoff at the downspouts, and pay extra attention to the dryvit/EIFS expansion joints that are common on Ballantyne homes.
