House Washing in Lake Norman, NC
House washing on Lake Norman is almost always a soft-wash job, because the dominant exteriors around Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville are cedar shake, fiber cement, and EIFS (synthetic stucco) — substrates that pressure washing will absolutely destroy. We apply biodegradable surfactant and a measured sodium hypochlorite blend at well under 1,000 PSI, then rinse with high-volume low-pressure water so nothing gets driven behind shake butts or into EIFS expansion joints.

Lake spray combined with Piedmont humidity makes Lake Norman one of the worst micro-climates in the region for algae and mildew. Waterfront walls facing the lake develop that gray-green film fastest, and shaded lake-side elevations under hardwood canopy can go solid black in a single season. We work the lakeside elevation first while humidity is lowest, and we treat dock-house siding the same trip when requested.
