House Washing Cumberland Hill

Clean Exteriors That Last

Your home’s exterior takes a beating from Kentucky weather. Humidity breeds mold and mildew. Rain leaves streaks and stains. Pollen coats everything in a yellow film that makes your house look neglected.

Professional pressure washing changes that in one day. We remove the buildup that makes your home look older than it is. The mold that’s eating away at your siding disappears. Those black streaks on your roof vanish.

You get a home that looks maintained and cared for. Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects it. Most importantly, you feel proud pulling into your driveway again instead of making mental notes about what needs cleaning.

Pressure Washing Company Cumberland Hill

We Know Kentucky Exteriors

Lighten Enterprise understands what Cumberland Hill weather does to homes. We’ve been cleaning exteriors in this area long enough to know that cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.

Your vinyl siding needs different treatment than your neighbor’s brick. That composite deck requires soft washing, not high pressure. We adjust our methods based on what we’re cleaning and what condition it’s in.

We’re insured and bonded because this work matters. Your home is your biggest investment, and we treat it that way.

Residential Pressure Washing Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We start by walking your property with you. Every surface gets evaluated for the right cleaning method. Some areas need high pressure to remove embedded dirt. Others require soft washing to avoid damage.

Pre-treatment comes first for heavily stained areas. Mold and mildew get special attention because they’ll return quickly if not properly addressed. We protect your landscaping and outdoor furniture before any water starts flowing.

The actual cleaning happens systematically. We work from top to bottom, ensuring dirty water doesn’t re-contaminate clean areas. Your gutters, siding, windows, and walkways all get the specific treatment they need. You see the difference immediately, but the real benefit is how long it lasts when done correctly.

Soft Washing Siding Services

Complete Exterior Cleaning Solutions

House washing covers your entire exterior envelope. Siding, trim, gutters, and foundation all get cleaned using appropriate pressure levels. Soft washing handles delicate surfaces like painted wood or composite materials.

Driveway and walkway cleaning removes oil stains, tire marks, and embedded dirt that makes concrete look permanently gray. Deck cleaning restores wood and composite surfaces without the damage that DIY pressure washing often causes.

Window cleaning happens as part of the exterior wash when requested. We’re already set up with pure water systems, so it makes sense to handle everything at once. The result is a completely refreshed exterior that looks like you just moved in.

How often should I have my house pressure washed in Kentucky?

Most Cumberland Hill homes benefit from professional pressure washing every 12-18 months. Kentucky’s humid climate accelerates mold and mildew growth, especially on north-facing surfaces that don’t get direct sunlight. Homes with more tree coverage or those in particularly humid microclimates might need cleaning annually. The key indicator is when you start noticing dark streaks, green growth, or that overall dingy appearance that makes your home look older than it should.

Will pressure washing damage my siding or roof shingles?

Proper pressure washing won’t damage your exterior surfaces when done correctly. The key is using appropriate pressure levels and techniques for each material. Vinyl siding can handle moderate pressure, while stucco or painted surfaces need soft washing with specialized cleaning solutions. We adjust our equipment based on what we’re cleaning. Roof cleaning always uses low-pressure soft washing to avoid lifting shingles or forcing water under them. DIY pressure washing causes damage because people use too much pressure or the wrong angle.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and stains through force. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to kill mold, mildew, and algae at the source. Soft washing is better for delicate surfaces like painted wood, stucco, or composite materials. It also lasts longer because it actually kills the organisms causing stains rather than just removing the visible growth. Most professional exterior cleaning combines both methods depending on the surface and type of contamination.

How long does it take to pressure wash a typical house?

A typical single-story home takes 3-4 hours for complete exterior cleaning. Two-story homes usually require 4-6 hours depending on square footage and contamination level. Heavily stained surfaces need extra pre-treatment time. The process includes setup, pre-treatment, actual washing, and cleanup. We don’t rush the job because proper technique takes time. Trying to speed through pressure washing leads to missed spots, inadequate cleaning, or surface damage from using too much pressure to compensate for insufficient dwell time.

Do you clean driveways and walkways as part of house washing?

Driveway and walkway cleaning can be included or handled separately depending on your needs. Concrete cleaning requires different equipment settings than house washing, and it’s often the most dramatic part of the transformation. Oil stains, tire marks, and embedded dirt make driveways look permanently stained, but proper pressure washing removes most of these issues. We use hot water when necessary for oil stains and adjust pressure based on the concrete’s age and condition. Newer concrete needs gentler treatment than older, well-cured surfaces.

What should I do to prepare my property before pressure washing?

Remove or cover outdoor furniture, grills, and decorations that could be damaged by water or cleaning solutions. Close all windows and doors tightly, and let us know about any areas where water intrusion is a concern. Move vehicles away from the immediate work area. We’ll handle protecting your landscaping with plastic sheeting, but extremely delicate plants should be watered beforehand to dilute any cleaning solution that might contact them. Don’t worry about basic prep work – we’ll walk through everything with you before starting and handle most of the protection ourselves.
