Our Commitment
In addition to the extreme caution we use to ensure nothing on your home is damaged, we also work strenuously to keep the safety of your surrounding furniture, vegetation and plants out of possible harm’s way as well. Prior to any job we always do a inspection of the surrounding area where we will be working to identify and remove any possible threats to furniture, plants or vegetation. We do this by moving all furniture and potted plants to a safe distance. We will cover them with a tarp if moving them is not a possibility and soak them with water prior to starting the cleaning process so as to ensure no chemicals will damage or stain any of your furniture or plants. After all of this we will regularly and gently rinse off all furniture, plants and vegetation with water throughout the cleaning process until we’re done. We then do a post job inspection to ensure the quality of our work, and then we offer the homeowner a chance to do a final inspection with us and to inquire their thoughts on it so as to help ensure customer satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About House Washes
1. How much does it cost to have a house washed in Hampton Roads?
The cost of house washing in the Hampton Roads area depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the level of buildup (mold, algae, dirt), and accessibility. We provide free estimates so you can get an accurate quote tailored to your specific property. Contact Black & White Soft Wash at (757) 550-4101 or use the form below for a no-obligation estimate.
2. What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing for houses?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove mold, algae, mildew, and dirt from your home’s exterior. Traditional pressure washing relies on high-pressure water, which can damage vinyl siding, strip paint, and force water behind your siding. For homes in the humid Hampton Roads climate, where mold and algae growth are common, soft washing is the safer, more effective choice that actually kills organic growth at the source rather than just blasting it away temporarily.
3. What questions should I ask when choosing a house washing company in Hampton Roads?
4. Will house washing damage my plants, landscaping, or outdoor furniture?
This is one of the most common concerns we hear from homeowners throughout Hampton Roads. It is a great question to ask and actually has several layers.
At Black & White Soft Wash, protecting your property is just as important to us as getting your home sparkling clean.
Before we begin any job, we conduct a thorough inspection of the work area to identify anything that needs protection. We move outdoor furniture and potted plants to a safe distance whenever possible. If something can’t be moved, we cover it with a tarp and pre-soak your plants and vegetation with water so they’re protected before any cleaning begins. Throughout the entire process, we regularly rinse your landscaping and surrounding areas, and we always perform a post-job walkthrough with you to make sure everything looks perfect.
We also use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are biodegradable and designed to be safe for your lawn, garden beds, and flower beds. Just as importantly, our cleaning products are pet and child friendly, so you don’t have to worry about family members – two-legged or four-legged – playing in the yard after we are done. We know your home is more than just a building. It is where your family lives and plays. We treat every property with that care and respect in mind.
5. Can house washing really increase my home’s value?
Yes. First, there is intrinsic worth just from having a cleaner house. But a professional house wash can extrinsically boost your home’s perceived real estate value by $10,000 or more by dramatically improving curb appeal. In competitive Hampton Roads real estate markets a clean exterior makes a strong first impression on potential buyers. Beyond aesthetics, removing mold and organic buildup also helps preserve your siding, paint, and overall exterior condition – protecting your investment for years to come.
