House Washing in Victoria, BC
One local husband-and-wife team to bring your home’s exterior back to life. We soft wash siding, stucco and brick with low pressure and a surface-safe solution, lifting algae, moss and salt buildup without ever forcing water behind the cladding. Owner-run, fully insured, right here in Greater Victoria.
Whole-Home Wash
Never High Pressure
Liability Insured
Soft wash, always
Low pressure and the right solution lift the grime without damaging your siding.
Salt Air, Rain and Coastal Damp
Victoria's damp, salty coastal air keeps algae, moss and mildew alive on siding, stucco and north-facing walls long after they would have dried out somewhere drier.
Homes across Greater Victoria sit in salt air and a long wet season, so the north and shaded walls grow a green-black film of algae and mildew, and salt builds up on everything near the water. Left alone it stains the cladding, holds moisture against the house, and drags down the whole look of the property.
What a Dirty Exterior Costs You
It is not just the look. Left on the walls, algae and moisture do real damage over time.
- Green-black algae that stains and spreads across the walls
- Moisture held against the siding, feeding rot and mould
- A tired, grimy exterior that drags down the whole home
Soft Wash, Never High Pressure
High pressure forces water behind siding and can crack stucco or strip paint, so we soft wash instead: low pressure and a surface-safe solution that lifts algae and grime and keeps killing the spores at the root. Clean walls, no damage.
Right Method for the Surface
Vinyl, aluminium, stucco, Hardie board and brick each get the right mix and pressure, so every surface is cleaned safely.
Gentle on Plants
We rinse and protect your landscaping as we go, so the beds and plants around the house come through unharmed.
Soffits, Fascia & Eaves
The same wash reaches the soffits, fascia and eaves, not just the flat walls, so the whole exterior matches.
Fully Insured, $3M
WorkSafe BC in good standing and $3 million liability coverage, so your property and our crew are covered from the moment we arrive.
Our House Washing Process
Four Steps to a Fresh Exterior
A clear, methodical approach, from setup to a final walk-around, so you know exactly what to expect.
Safe Setup & Access
We protect your plants, windows and fixtures, and set the soft-wash pressure for the surface before we start.
Apply & Dwell
We apply a surface-safe solution and let it break down the algae, mildew and salt at the root, not just on the surface.
Soft Wash & Rinse
The walls are soft washed and rinsed clean, top to bottom, so nothing streaks and nothing is left to regrow.
Complete Cleanup
We rinse down the landscaping, tidy up, and walk the property with you before we go.

Pre-Sale Exterior Refresh
A full exterior wash before you list, so the house shows at its best. It can look like a totally new home.

Gentle soft washing and moss removal, backed by a two-year moss-free guarantee. Add roof moss removal to the same visit.

Need more than the walls?
We also handle gutter cleaning, window cleaning and deck cleaning across Greater Victoria. Many homeowners do the whole exterior in one visit.

The Proof
The House That Sold Itself
A Greater Victoria owner called us before putting a run-down house on the market: gutters full, siding green, the whole exterior tired. We cleaned the roof, gutters and windows and washed the siding, and it looked like a totally new house. It showed far better, and sold not long after.

House Washing, Answered
A house wash runs $465 for a 1,500 sq ft single-storey to $775 for a 3,500 sq ft two-storey, and you get your exact number before we start. Storeys, cladding and how much algae is on the north walls move it within that range. Here is what changes the cost of a Victoria house wash.
Soft washing uses low pressure and a surface-safe solution instead of high pressure. It lifts algae and salt without forcing water behind the siding or cracking stucco. Clean walls, no damage.
No. High pressure forces water behind cladding and can strip paint or crack stucco, so we soft wash the walls instead. High pressure is only for hard surfaces like concrete. More on washing heritage siding safely.

The solution treats the algae, mildew and salt at the root, not just on the surface, so the walls stay clean far longer than a plain rinse.
Most homes here benefit from a soft wash every year or two, more often for shaded or north-facing walls near the water where algae and salt build up fast. Here is how to plan exterior cleaning around Victoria's seasons.
Yes, and many people do a full exterior in one visit (roof, gutters, windows and a house wash), which shows especially well before a sale.
Adding up gutters, roof, windows, house wash and hard surfaces at our published prices, a full exterior clean runs about $1,730 for a 1,500 sq ft single-storey and about $3,500 to $3,600 for a 3,500 sq ft two-storey. Here is the whole-exterior cleaning cost in Victoria.
