House Washing in Blacksburg, VA
Exterior Solutions provides professional house washing in Blacksburg, VA, using a controlled soft-wash method to remove algae, mildew, pollen, and dirt from exterior surfaces.
What house washing includes
A full house wash covers the siding on all sides of the home along with soffits, fascia, trim, shutters, gutters' exterior faces, downspouts, and the areas around doors and windows. Anything on the vertical exterior that collects grime gets treated.
The New River Valley's humidity, tree cover, and spring pollen give algae and mildew an ideal place to settle — especially on north-facing walls in Blacksburg and shaded lots near the river in Radford. A soft wash removes that growth at the root rather than just blasting the surface layer off.
Every wash finishes with a full rinse-down of the siding, windows, and surrounding hardscape so there's no residue or drip lines left behind.

Why Choose Exterior Solutions for House Washing
House washing is approached as a low-pressure cleaning service, not high-pressure work on siding. The material, fixtures, trim, landscaping, and any known problem areas are reviewed before treatment begins.
Careful preparation and a complete rinse are built into the process. Exterior Solutions provides a clear scope and a free quote based on the home rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
House washing for Blacksburg properties
Blacksburg's mature trees, humid summers, and seasonal pollen can leave shaded siding damp and discolored. A methodical soft wash addresses that buildup without treating siding like concrete.
Blacksburg is the primary service area. Exterior Solutions also serves homeowners and property managers in Christiansburg, Radford, Roanoke, Salem, and surrounding communities. See the complete coverage area on the Service Areas page.

What affects the price
House washing is priced by the square footage of the exterior, the number of stories, and the amount of organic growth present. A one-story ranch in Christiansburg with light dirt is a very different job from a two-story home with heavy north-side algae.
Access matters too — steep grades, tight side yards, and dense landscaping all add time. The fastest way to get an accurate number is to send a few photos with your quote request.
House Washing FAQs
Is house washing the same as pressure washing?
No. House washing uses a low-pressure soft wash with cleaning solution that breaks down mildew and algae, then rinses clean. High pressure on siding can force water behind panels and damage the surface.
Will house washing hurt my landscaping?
Plants and shrubs are pre-wet and rinsed after the wash, which dilutes any solution that reaches them. Careful prep around beds and fixtures is part of every job.
How long does a house wash take?
Most single-family homes in the New River Valley take two to four hours depending on size, height, and how much organic growth has built up.
How often should a home be washed in Blacksburg?
Timing depends on shade, tree cover, and moisture. Homes with shaded north-facing siding or dense tree cover may need cleaning sooner than properties that dry quickly in full sun.
What should I do before the house wash?
Close windows, bring in small outdoor items, and point out any known leaks or delicate fixtures. The property is reviewed before cleaning begins.
