Located in the heart of the Adirondack region, Queensbury experiences intense seasonal weather that subjects your home’s exterior to conditions most neighborhoods never see. Heavy tree canopy, lake-effect moisture, persistent pollen seasons, and temperature swings from freezing winters to humid summers all create the perfect environment for algae, mildew, and mold to take hold on siding. Homes near Lake George or tucked into wooded lots face accelerated buildup compared to homes with open sun exposure, and by the time you notice those green or black streaks running down your siding, the growth has already been there for months. General dirt, grime, and spring pollen only add to the problem, layering on top of organic growth season after season.
Because these local environmental challenges require specialized care, our team provides a direct, hands-on solution. When you call us, we personally answer the phone, provide your estimate, and lead the crew on your property. There’s no call center, no voicemail, and no gap between the person quoting the job and the person doing the work. We use a low-pressure soft wash process designed to break down organic growth without risking high-pressure damage to your siding.
If your home is due for a wash or if you are unsure, call us for a free estimate. Most estimates are prepared remotely using satellite imagery and property data, so there’s no need to schedule an on-site visit. You’ll speak directly with the person who will be washing your home.
A typical house wash with us starts at $299 and can go up to approximately $700 for larger or more complex homes.
We schedule a minimum of one hour for every house wash, and larger projects can take up to three hours.
Six key factors drive your final price:
Most estimates are prepared remotely using satellite imagery and real estate listings, then sent to your email and cell phone free of charge. For larger or more complex projects, an on-site visit may be required.
House washing is one of our two anchor services (alongside roof cleaning), and customers who combine it with add-ons see real savings. Available add-on services include:
Bundle pricing is adjusted on a case-by-case basis depending on the combination of services and the total scope of work. The average customer who bundles house washing with one or more add-ons sees a total invoice in the $700 to $800 range, which represents meaningful savings over booking each service individually. Mention all the services you’re interested in when requesting your estimate so we can build custom bundle pricing for your property.
We also offer preferred pricing for recurring maintenance contracts, multi-property accounts, and large-scale projects, depending on the scope and frequency of service.
Vinyl is the most common siding type in the Queensbury area. We clean it using a standard soft wash technique, applying a surfactant and sodium hypochlorite solution diluted to a level comparable to pool chlorine at low pressure. The solution breaks down algae, mildew, mold, and general dirt without using high pressure that could crack or warp the siding.
Hardie Board is the second most common siding type here, found frequently on higher-end homes near the lakes. The same soft wash technique used on vinyl is applied to fiber cement, safely removing organic growth without damaging the surface.
Many homes in Queensbury feature a mixed-material exterior, frequently combining a classic front with vinyl-sided sides. We use our specialized soft wash technique on brick surfaces to safely remove organic growth and grime without damaging the masonry.
We use our standard soft wash treatment to clean painted wood safely. If your home has fresh paint or stain, we will assess the surface condition on-site before starting the job. We want to ensure the coating has fully cured, so we may adjust our approach or recommend waiting to protect your new finish.
Log homes and stained wood exteriors require a different approach entirely. For maintenance cleans on stained surfaces, we do not use sodium hypochlorite. The technique is adjusted based on the purpose of the cleaning, whether it’s a routine maintenance wash or preparation for re-staining or re-painting. Paint and stain prep is a distinct service variation that requires its own method, and we calibrate accordingly.
We see more and more LP SmartSide on homes throughout the Queensbury area. This siding material gets our standard soft wash treatment, using the same safe, low-pressure methods that keep vinyl and Hardie Board looking brand new.
Oxidation is a distinct problem from organic growth and requires separate treatment. We use Cleansol All BC, a specialty product designed for oxidation removal. This is a time-consuming, labor-intensive process. Severely oxidized homes are assessed on-site, and we have an honest conversation with the homeowner about expectations before proceeding. Improper cleaning of heavily oxidized siding can make the problem worse, which is exactly why we take the time to evaluate it first.
The same person who takes your call provides the estimate, shows up to your property, and performs the work alongside the crew. There’s no communication gap between sales, operations, and customer service because they’re all the same person.
This is a family operation, with family members on the crew. That means the people washing your home have a personal stake in the company’s reputation every single day. We treat every property with the same care we’d bring to our own, including protecting interior spaces with foot booties when indoor access is needed and taking before-and-after photos on every job.
We hold the highest Google reviews among local competitors. That reputation was built one property at a time, and we take it seriously.
ADK Pressure Washing has been voted “Best of the Region” by the Post Star for five consecutive years. That’s third-party validation from a recognized local source, not something we gave ourselves.
Professionalism, reliability, and a satisfaction guarantee are the three pillars our customers mention most. We are fully insured and stand behind the quality of every house wash we perform.
The owner coaches varsity and travel softball, has donated work to Veterans Park, and comes from a career background in corrections. These are genuine local ties, not corporate sponsorship talking points.
We operate within the Adirondack Park, a protected region with heightened environmental standards and proximity to multiple lakes. Managing water and wastewater is part of every job we do, not an afterthought. That means controlling runoff, minimizing chemical discharge, protecting storm drains with socks when needed, and adjusting cleanup methods based on the property’s surrounding landscape and drainage.
All of our vehicles carry onboard water, so the crew can operate independently of your water supply when needed. This is especially valuable for lakefront properties or homes with limited exterior water access.
It starts with a phone call, email, or website lead form. The owner pulls up your property on Google Earth, Zillow, or Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to assess square footage and property details. A remote estimate is prepared and sent directly to your email and cell phone at no charge. For larger or more complex projects, we schedule an on-site visit.
Once the scope is finalized, you’re placed on the schedule in one-week blocks. You’ll receive text and email notifications with the date, time, specific preparation instructions, and what to expect. If the schedule doesn’t work for you, cancellation and rescheduling are free. No penalty, no hassle.
Yes. we use a soft-wash method for siding and roofs, not high-pressure. For siding, we apply a diluted bleach-and-surfactant solution at low pressure that breaks down algae, mildew, and mold without blasting the surface. For roofs, the process follows manufacturer specifications and avoids high pressure entirely. The chemical we use is sodium hypochlorite (pool chlorine) diluted to safe levels. Landscape areas are pre-wetted before application and rinsed thoroughly after to protect your plants and surrounding surfaces.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to physically blast away dirt and grime. Soft washing uses a chemical surfactant-and-bleach solution to break down and kill organic growth (algae, mold, mildew) at much lower pressure. We use the right method for the surface. Soft wash is applied to roofs, siding, and fences. High pressure is reserved for concrete and hard surfaces that can handle it.
No. We do not require you to be home. As long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot, any gated areas are open, and all windows are shut, we can complete the job. If you are home, you’re welcome to join us for a final walkthrough when we’re finished.
We work on one-week scheduling blocks. Once you’re placed on the schedule, you’ll receive text and email notifications with your date, time, and prep instructions. If the date doesn’t work, you can cancel or reschedule free of charge at any time.
Move patio furniture and planters a safe distance away from the house. Keep pets indoors during the cleaning. Make sure all windows are shut. And confirm that your outdoor water spigot is accessible and that any gated areas are open.
Yes. We use diluted sodium hypochlorite (pool chlorine) at levels just slightly above typical pool concentrations. Technicians pre-wet all surrounding plant areas before applying any solution and rinse them thoroughly after. We walk every customer through exactly what’s being applied and why it’s safe for pets, plants, and family.
Yes. We also clean commercial buildings, storefronts, apartment complexes, and awnings, and handle post-construction cleanups for HOA properties. All commercial jobs begin with a mandatory on-site walkthrough. Preferred pricing is available for recurring maintenance contracts, multi-property accounts, and large-scale projects.
