What's included in your house washing
- Safe on the vinyl and brick across Irmo, no cracked panels, no stripped trim, and no water pushed up behind the siding
- The algae and mildew die in the surface instead of rinsing off the top, so the house holds its clean a lot longer
- The shaded north walls under the canopy, where the green sets in first, get the extra time they need
- Beds soaked and rinsed front to back, and low pressure throughout, so the landscaping and the siding both come through fine

The right way to wash a house
A pressure washer vs.
a gentle soft wash
High Pressure
What a pressure washer does to a house
- Splits older vinyl, dents aluminum, and peels the paint off the trim
- Pushes water up under the siding and into tired caulk, where it sits and rots the wall
- Strips the green off the surface without killing it, so it is back in no time
- Pops window seals and runs streaks down the wall
Bub's method
Soft Wash
How we do it
- Low pressure with a solution that does the cleaning, easy on vinyl, trim, and brick alike
- The growth dies down in the surface, so it grows back slow instead of fast
- A soft top-to-bottom rinse, with nothing forced in behind the wall
- Beds wrapped and rinsed, and the shaded north walls worked longer where the green is worst

No surprises, straight answers
The questions Irmo homeowners
actually ask
Yes, because the cleaning is the chemistry, not the force. The solution breaks the algae and mildew apart at the root and a soft rinse takes it away. High pressure only knocks the green off the top while the growth lives on underneath, so it returns fast. Killing it is what keeps your house clean longer.
It is the gentlest way there is. Older vinyl, tired caulk, and the window seals on an established Irmo home will not stand up to high pressure. We keep it low and let the solution carry the work, so nothing splits, warps, or takes on water behind the wall.
Yes. The green and black on brick is the same algae and mildew, and the soft wash lifts it. The one thing to call out is a white chalky bloom, which is efflorescence, a mineral pushing out of the masonry rather than a growth. That one we can fade but not fully lift, and we tell you which is which before we begin.
Yes. Anything planted along the house gets a drink before we start and a rinse after, and it stays wet while we work. The solution is only a problem for foliage if it dries on the leaves, and we make sure it never does.
As soon as it is rinsed and dried. We flush the wall and the ground until nothing is sitting on the surface, and then it just needs the same drying time as a good rain before everyone is back outside.
Yes, both. Veteran-owned, licensed, and fully insured, so working water around your siding and trim is covered before we ever start. The crew is the owner and his own guys.

Questions, answered
Common Irmo house washing questions
Yes, that is exactly what it is for. It cleans with a solution at low pressure rather than force, so it will not crack vinyl, dent aluminum, or peel the trim. Plenty of Irmo homes carry older or mixed siding, and that is the kind of wall a pressure washer should never touch. We keep it low and let the chemistry work.
Usually a thin film of algae and mildew, fed by the shade and the damp, laid on evenly enough that it reads as plain grime. We soak it to kill it at the root and rinse it off soft. Folks are often surprised how much brighter the real color comes back, the shaded side most of all.
Yes. The green and black on brick, siding, and soffits is all the same algae and mildew, and one soft wash clears all of it. If the brick also carries a white chalky bloom, that is efflorescence, a mineral and not a growth, and we can only fade that, not erase it. We flag which is which up front.
It comes back slower, since we kill it at the root instead of rinsing the top. How long it holds comes down to shade and humidity, and under the Dutch Fork canopy that matters, so a north wall in the trees greens up before a sunny one. A soft wash buys far more time than blasting it ever would.
A wash about every year-and-a-half to two years fits most homes here. One tucked under the pine and hardwood holds the damp longer and films up quicker, so if yours sits shaded most of the day, the north side is the spot that tells you it is time.
We do, right across Irmo, from Friarsgate and Seven Oaks out to Ballentine and the rest of the Dutch Fork, and toward Lake Murray. No trip fee to come to you. Right on the edge of town, ask anyway.

Conner and his team did a fantastic job cleaning of house trim, sidewalks and driveway. The pricing was fair and I decided to have them clean my 30' Catalina sailboat which they did a great job on as well. Highly recommend!

Bub's showed up, gave a fair quote and then came back with a friendly & professional crew to clean our house. I think they may have had one too many for the job because one guy gave our car a quick wash in the driveway while the rest of the crew cleaned the house. Definitely recommend.

House Washing in Irmo, the Dutch Fork
What sets our Irmo work apart
You stop noticing it until one day the shady side of the house has gone green and the whole place looks tired. Out here in the Dutch Fork the homes sit under a heavy canopy of pine and hardwood, and that shade holds the damp against the north-facing walls all year. On the established vinyl and brick around Friarsgate and Seven Oaks, it does not take long for the siding to film over and the trim to darken. A pressure washer is the wrong tool for that. Too much force for older vinyl, aging caulk, and the seals, and it drives water in behind the panels. So we soft wash instead. A cleaning solution breaks the algae and mildew down, a gentle rinse carries it off, and the house looks clean again without anything getting blasted. It works the same on vinyl, on painted trim, and on the brick that is all over these neighborhoods.
Irmo sits northwest of Columbia in the Dutch Fork, the old German-settled stretch of country between the Broad and Saluda rivers. The town took its name from two railroad men, Iredell and Moseley, and grew up around the Harbison corridor and Saint Andrews Road into a settled suburban place. The bones of it are the established 1970s and 1980s subdivisions, Friarsgate and Seven Oaks among them, sitting under a thick canopy of pine and hardwood, with newer growth still going up around the edges. The Okra Strut festival fills Irmo Community Park every fall, Harbison State Forest runs eighteen miles of trail down toward the Broad River, and out on the Ballentine side the town runs right up to Lake Murray. Dutch Fork schools anchor the place. Most of the homes are vinyl and brick on mature, tree-shaded lots, so the north-facing walls, the roofs tucked under the canopy, and the older concrete out front all green up fast in the Midlands humidity. The town straddles two counties, Lexington and Richland.
In Friarsgate, Bellemont, and Ballentine Estates, or anywhere else around Irmo, we come to you for house washing, no trip fee.
While we're at your Irmo place, we can knock out your roof cleaning, brick cleaning, and window cleaning too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.

Our process, step by step
How we wash an Irmo house, start to finish
Here is the full job on an established home under the Dutch Fork canopy. The aim is plain: the siding and brick even and bright again, the green gone off the shaded side, and not one panel touched by high pressure.
We open by soaking the foundation beds and shrubs and keeping them damp. Then we read the wall, the siding material, the age of the caulk and trim, and where the algae is thickest. Under the trees that is almost always the shaded north face, and an established home gets the lightest hand we have.
The soft-wash solution goes over the siding at low pressure with time to soak in and kill the algae and mildew at the root, not just wet the top. Low pressure is the entire point. The chemistry cleans, the water only rinses, so nothing is forced behind the panels or into the trim.
We rinse from the roofline down so the dead growth runs off clean and the wall dries even, with no streaking. The shaded north side gets a little longer, since the green holds on there. Vinyl, painted trim, and brick all come through without a mark.
We go over the gutters, the eaves, the porch, and the trim, then give the beds a last rinse. Whatever is not algae, a chalky efflorescence bloom or a rust stain, we point out and explain instead of blasting at it.
