Soft Washing in Lake Stevens, detergent, not force
Soft washing in Lake Stevens is for the surfaces that can't take force — lakeside fences, painted trim, boathouse siding and outbuildings that stay damp from the water.
What to know about soft washing in Lake Stevens
Lake humidity and fir shade mean wood fences, shed siding, painted rails and boathouse exteriors turn green and slick, and pressure would gouge them. A soft wash applies a biodegradable detergent at garden-hose pressure, lets it dwell and kills the algae and mildew at the root, then rinses gently. Around the shoreline we control runoff and protect plantings so nothing harsh reaches the water.

When to schedule soft washing in Lake Stevens
Late spring through early fall gives wood time to dry after treatment. Fences, single walls and outbuildings sit at the lower end of the $199–$600 range. Soft-washed surfaces typically stay clean two to three times longer than a pressure-only clean, so one visit a year, or every other year on sunny walls, is usually plenty.

Soft Washing questions, answered
Can you soft wash a wood fence or boathouse right on the Lake Stevens shoreline?
Yes. We use biodegradable detergents at a safe dilution, pre-wet and rinse plantings, and manage runoff carefully near the water. The method suits weathered wood because it never uses high pressure that would raise the grain or splinter boards.
Do you charge extra to come to Lake Stevens for soft washing?
No. Lake Stevens is where we're based — no travel fee, and it gets priority scheduling.
