I get my house cleaned every year and it’s never been cleaner.From the gutters to the windows and walls. Highly recommend Bub’s. I definitely will be using them for all my exterior cleaning for now on. Thanks

That tan grit on your lower siding is sandy soil, and a soft wash brings the whole wall back even.

No surprises, straight answers
That is why we soft wash. High pressure can crack builder-grade vinyl and force water behind the panels. Low pressure and the right solution clean it without that risk.
Yes. The sandy soil splashes grit onto the lower siding and skirting every hard rain. We work those courses and rinse the wall back even, top to bottom.
Those are algae and mildew. Our solution kills them at the root, so they come back slower than they would after a plain water rinse.
That is the goal. We feather the wash from the dirty lower courses up into the rest of the wall, so you do not see a clean line halfway up.
We wet down plants before and after and rinse as we go. Keep pets inside while we work, and the yard is fine once everything is rinsed down.
Yes, licensed and insured. We are working water around new builder-grade siding and trim, so coverage matters if anything goes sideways.

Questions, answered
Yes, we service Elgin and the newer subdivisions around it, places like Woodland Forest, Royal Pines, and out along the Spears Creek and Pontiac corridor.
Out here in the Sandhills, plan on it about every year-and-a-half to two years. Sandy grit and pine pollen build up faster on the lower siding than folks expect.
Sandy soil splashes grit and a tan film up onto the lower courses and skirting every hard rain. The top stays cleaner, so the bottom looks dingy first.
Rust and stuff like that are different. A soft wash will fade what it can, and we tell you up front what may not fully lift before we start.
Yes, that is the point of soft washing. Low pressure cleans builder-grade vinyl without cracking panels or driving water behind them.
You do not have to be home for the wash itself, but we do like to walk the property with you first for the estimate.
Real reviews from around Elgin
House Washing in Elgin, the Sandhills gateway
You walk up to the house and the bottom courses of siding look dingy. The skirting has a gritty tan film across it. Up high the vinyl still looks fine, but the lower walls went dull after the last few hard rains. That is the Sandhills soil at work here in Elgin. Sandy ground splashes up every time it pours, and the grit dries on the lower siding. Pine pollen settles on top of it and makes the whole thing look worse. We rinse it off soft and even, top to bottom.
Elgin, once called Blaney, sits in the Sandhills northeast of Columbia, straddling the Kershaw and Richland county line. The area covers a fast-growing stretch of newer subdivisions, with brand-new vinyl-sided homes going up across neighborhoods like Woodland Forest, Royal Pines Estates, Spring Village, Wildewood, and the Spears Creek and Pontiac corridor. The condition that drives cleaning here is the sandy Sandhills soil. After a hard rain it kicks tan grit and a gritty film up onto the lower siding, the skirting, and the concrete, and the loblolly and longleaf pines drop heavy pollen on top of it. A lot of these homes are new builds getting their first real wash, on builder-grade vinyl that high pressure can crack. Sesquicentennial State Park and Spears Creek anchor the area, and the growth keeps pushing out along Two Notch Road.

Our process, step by step
A soft wash on Elgin vinyl is about the right solution and a careful order of work. Here is what the day looks like.
We soak the plants and beds around the house first, so the cleaning solution has nowhere to do harm.
We put down low-pressure solution that kills algae and mildew at the root, starting low where the grit is worst.
We give the solution time to break down the green, the black, and the gritty film before we touch it with water.
We rinse the wall down soft and feather the lower courses into the rest, so it comes out even top to bottom.
