House Washing in Matthews, NC

House washing in Matthews is mostly a vinyl-siding story — the established 90s and early-2000s subdivisions like Brightmoor, Stevens Mill, and Matthews Plantation are predominantly vinyl ranch and 2-story homes, with scattered brick in older Crews Road sections. Vinyl is one of the surfaces that high pressure damages most reliably, which is why every house wash we run in Matthews is a low-pressure soft wash under 1,000 PSI.

House Washing for Matthews Properties

Local crew, local pricing, local knowledge

House washing in Matthews is mostly a vinyl-siding story — the established 90s and early-2000s subdivisions like Brightmoor, Stevens Mill, and Matthews Plantation are predominantly vinyl ranch and 2-story homes, with scattered brick in older Crews Road sections. Vinyl is one of the surfaces that high pressure damages most reliably, which is why every house wash we run in Matthews is a low-pressure soft wash under 1,000 PSI.

The issue we see most here is age. Twenty to thirty years of Piedmont humidity has built up a deep biofilm of mildew, algae, and oxidized chalking on a lot of these homes — the kind that doesn't come off with a garden hose and definitely doesn't come off with pressure alone. Sodium hypochlorite with the right surfactant package is what actually kills the organic growth at the root and rinses cleanly without streaking.

House Washing FAQs for Matthews

Local-specific answers and common service questions

Can you remove black streaks on vinyl that have been there for years?
In almost every case, yes. Long-standing black streaks are gloeocapsa algae rooted into the vinyl's surface — our soft-wash chemistry kills the organism, releases its grip, and rinses it off. Pressure alone never gets that done.
Will soft washing fix oxidation or chalking on old vinyl?
Soft washing won't restore color to severely oxidized vinyl, but it removes the dirt and biofilm masking the true color and often reveals significantly better-looking siding underneath.
Do you service Matthews HOAs?
Yes — we work routinely in Brightmoor, Stevens Mill, Matthews Plantation, and Sardis Forest, and we're happy to provide proof of insurance for HOA records.
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing a house?
Soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) combined with cleaning solutions to kill and remove mold, algae, and mildew. Pressure washing uses high pressure alone to blast surfaces. Soft washing is recommended for siding because high pressure can damage panels and drive water into wall cavities.
How often should I have my house washed in Charlotte?
Most Charlotte homeowners benefit from annual house washing. Homes with significant shade, north-facing walls, or near wooded areas may develop algae faster and benefit from washing every 6–9 months.
Is soft washing safe for all types of siding?
Yes. Soft washing is safe for vinyl, fiber cement (HardiePlank), stucco, EIFS, brick, and wood siding. We adjust the chemistry and pressure for each material type.
