House Washing in Greenville, SC

What House Washing Includes

House washing is a complete exterior cleaning service that addresses all visible surfaces of your home. This includes siding (vinyl, fiber cement, wood, and aluminum), brick, stone veneer, trim, fascia, soffits, shutters, and exterior light fixtures. Foothills Exterior Cleaning selects the appropriate cleaning method for each material encountered on your property. Hard masonry surfaces may receive calibrated pressure washing, while siding and painted surfaces are treated with our low-pressure soft wash technique that removes contaminants without risking damage.

The goal is a uniformly clean home from top to bottom. We remove green algae staining, black mildew streaks, cobwebs, wasp nests, dirt accumulation, and the oxidation film that develops on older siding materials. After a professional house washing, homeowners frequently remark that their property looks as though it received a fresh coat of paint.

How Greenville’s Environment Affects Your Home’s Exterior

Greenville receives approximately 50 inches of rainfall annually, spread across every season. Combined with summer temperatures that regularly exceed 90 degrees, this creates an environment where biological growth accelerates rapidly. Homes nestled under the mature hardwoods and pines that characterize neighborhoods along Augusta Road, through Overbrook, and in the Eastside develop visible algae and mildew within months of their last cleaning.

Pollen season in the Upstate is particularly aggressive. Each spring, a thick layer of yellow-green pollen blankets every exterior surface, embedding itself in textured siding and settling into window frames and trim details. The fall brings a different challenge as decaying leaves and organic debris collect against siding and in architectural recesses, trapping moisture and creating conditions for mold growth through the mild Greenville winter.

Historic homes near downtown and along North Main often feature detailed trim work, covered porches, and complex rooflines that create sheltered areas where moisture accumulates. The mid-century ranch homes common in the Pleasantburg and Haywood neighborhoods have long, low profiles with extensive siding exposure. Modern builds in Verdae and Hollingsworth Park feature mixed materials that each require specific cleaning approaches. Regardless of your home’s era or architectural style, Foothills Exterior Cleaning has the training and equipment to clean it thoroughly and safely.
