Built After the War
The area’s suburban boom started in the late 1940s and 1950s, so a lot of Hazel Dell homes are single-story ranches with painted wood siding, older trim and decades of paint layers. Those homes have stood up well, but older paint and wood need careful cleaning. A high-pressure wand can lift paint, splinter soft wood and drive water behind boards. A soft wash avoids all of that by letting a cleaning solution do the heavy work.
Traffic Leaves a Mark
Hazel Dell is crisscrossed by busy roads: I-5, Highway 99, which was once the main Pacific Highway, and NE Hazel Dell Avenue. Homes near these corridors collect a gray, oily layer of road film along with the usual Northwest algae. The two mix into a dull coating that rain alone will not move. Soft washing breaks it down chemically, so the color of your siding comes back.
Mature Trees, Mature Shade
Older lots often have big trees planted decades ago, and they shade much of the house. Leaves and needles settle on ledges and in gutters, and the walls behind them stay wet most of the winter. That is where we usually find the heaviest algae, along with mildew on porch ceilings and under the eaves.

Wash Day in Hazel Dell
Here is what to expect. We wet down your landscaping first. Then we apply the cleaning solution to the siding, trim and eaves at low pressure. After it has worked for a few minutes, we rinse the house, starting at the top, and rinse the plants again when we are done. If we find loose or peeling paint during the estimate, we point it out before we start, since any washing can lift paint that has already failed.
Gutters and Downspouts
On older homes, gutters often overflow when trees drop leaves, and the water that spills over leaves dark streaks down the siding. A soft wash removes those streaks and brightens the outside face of the gutters too. If the gutters themselves are full, our gutter cleaning service can clear them first, so the walls stay cleaner after the wash. Many Hazel Dell owners book both on the same day, usually in late fall after the leaves are down.
