Exterior Cleaning Near Me in Columbia & Lexington SC — What's Included and What to Ask

Exterior cleaning covers a broader scope than pressure washing alone. It includes soft washing house exteriors, roof cleaning, gutter brightening, window exterior cleaning, and concrete/paver washing. Not every company offers all services, and not every company knows the difference between soft washing and pressure washing. The wrong method on the wrong surface causes expensive damage. Ask specific questions about their process before hiring.

Columbia and Lexington’s subtropical humidity grows algae, mildew, and mold on every exterior surface. Pressure washing blasts the growth off the surface temporarily, but soft washing kills it at the root level with professional detergents. Results from soft washing last 2–3 times longer. Any company that pressure washes your vinyl siding, roof, or painted surfaces is risking damage — these surfaces need low pressure and chemical cleaning.

A full exterior cleaning visit typically covers: house exterior (soft wash), driveway and sidewalks (pressure wash), patio or pool deck, and gutter face brightening. Some companies add roof cleaning and fence cleaning as add-ons. The process takes 3–6 hours for a standard residential property. Before work begins, all landscaping is pre-wetted for plant protection. After cleaning, a final rinse removes any residual solution.

House wash (soft wash): $250–$500. Roof cleaning: $300–$600. Driveway: $150–$250. Patio: $100–$200. Gutter brightening: $75–$150 per 100 linear feet. Full exterior package: $500–$1,000 with 15–22% bundle savings. Commercial properties are priced by scope. Annual maintenance contracts reduce per-visit cost and keep your property consistently clean year-round.
