House Washing in Marion, IN

Vinyl, aluminum, brick, stucco and cedar, cleaned by chemical dwell at low pressure rather than blasted. That is the work. In Marion it is priced the way it is priced everywhere else on our map: from the address, the measurements and a couple of photos, usually without anyone driving out to look first.

The Marion number. Around $500 for a typical 2,500 sq ft home. Published ranges rather than a quote, because access, height and how long it has been since the last clean move the figure more than the address does. Everything we publish is on the pricing page.

Gutters are two different jobs

Washing the outside of the gutter is part of a house wash, and it is what makes clean siding look finished. Emptying the trough so water can reach the downspout is a separate service, and the two get confused constantly.

On a Marion property we will tell you which one you are actually asking for, and price them separately so you can choose.

Softer surfaces we get asked about

Painted wood, stained wood, stucco, EIFS, screens and older mortar all fail under pressure long before they look clean. They are soft washed, at a pressure set to the surface rather than to the schedule, and where a surface cannot be cleaned safely at all we say so.

If you are not sure which category your Marion property falls into, send a photo. That is usually enough for us to tell you.

Putting a Marion job on the calendar

Text the address, say what needs cleaning, and we will come back with a number. Once you accept it we schedule around the forecast rather than around the drive, and we stay in touch up to the day.

Access to the areas being cleaned and an outside water connection are the only two things we need from you, and neither of them means taking a day off.

How often an Indiana house needs it

Most homes here want a wash every one to two years. North facing walls, anything shaded by trees and anything near standing water grow algae faster, and those sides come round sooner than the rest of the house. If you can see shading on the siding from the driveway, it is due.

Insurance, and why it matters on a roof

We are fully insured, and on roof work that is not a formality. Someone on your shingles with a solution and a hose is either carrying coverage or they are carrying it on your homeowner policy.

Ask any company for a certificate before they start. If it takes more than a phone call for them to produce one, that is the answer.

What we will not take on

We do not do handyman work, landscaping, painting, roof replacement or major roof repair, construction, remodeling or interior cleaning. We are an exterior cleaning company and nothing else.

We also decline any job where high pressure would create an unreasonable risk of damaging the surface, rather than doing it and hoping. A refused job is cheaper for everyone than a repaired one.

Hard water, and why glass gets purified water instead

Water in this part of Indiana is hard, and hard water dries to a spot however well the glass was washed. A water fed pole filters the water before it ever reaches the window, so there is nothing left behind to dry.

It also means upstairs glass on a Marion home is cleaned from the ground, which is faster and safer than putting a ladder against every opening.

House Washing around Marion

Marion sits in Grant County and carries house washing, roof cleaning and concrete as standing services. When we are here we are usually also in Gas City, New Castle and Richmond, so a job booked alongside one of those is easier to schedule and cheaper to run than a single trip.

Anything on our list that Marion does not have its own page for can still be done here as part of a visit. Ask when you call and the estimate will show it both ways.

What happens to your landscaping

The solution that kills roof algae is hard on plants, so beds under the work get covered and rinsed before, during and after. Drives and walks below get wet down first, and gutters and downspouts are flushed so nothing sits in them.

This is most of the reason a careful roof clean takes longer than people expect, and it is the part a rushed crew skips.

What is included

• Vinyl, aluminum, brick, stucco and cedar
• Algae, mold, mildew and organic buildup lifted, not driven in
• Soffits, fascia, gutters, shutters and light fixtures included

Working from the ground instead of off a ladder

Most of what we do is reached from the ground: extension wands for siding, a water fed pole for upstairs glass, and low pressure application for roofs. Fewer ladders means fewer marks on the gutters, less risk, and a faster job.

Where a Marion property genuinely needs someone up there, we are insured for it and we will say so in the estimate rather than at the door.

Booked with something else

The crew is already at the property with water and access, so adding a second service costs a fraction of booking it as its own visit. In Marion the pairings that come up most are roof cleaning, concrete & pavers.
