Vinyl, brick, painted wood, fiber cement and stucco, washed with solution and dwell time rather than force. The thing worth understanding before you hire anyone: on siding, pressure is the risk, not the result.

This is the one mechanism worth understanding before you let anybody point a machine at your house, and it is why the good operators in this market talk about solution rather than PSI.
Lap siding sheds water downward, and only downward. Each course overlaps the one below it, so rain runs down the face and off. Aim a pressurized stream upward into that lap and you are doing the one thing the design does not account for: pushing water behind the boards, into the sheathing and the housewrap.
It does not show up that day. That is what makes it expensive. The siding looks clean, the operator leaves, and the consequence is a damp sheathing line, a stain that reappears from the inside, or soft trim a season or two later. By then nobody connects it to the wash.
The same applies upward at the soffit. Soffit vents exist to pull air into the roof space. Water driven into them goes into the attic, which is the worst possible destination for it.
So the method is inverted. Cleaning solution is applied at low pressure, given time to work, and rinsed off downward. The chemistry does the cleaning and the water only carries it away. A wash that relies on force is faster for the operator and riskier for the wall, and you cannot tell the difference by looking at the result on the day.
🔶 PLACEHOLDER: the solution Crown uses on each substrate goes here. The mechanism above is general and correct; the specific product and dilution per material is Crown’s own practice and should be stated rather than described in the abstract. Naming it is also a stronger trust signal than anything else on this page.
Siding is not one material and the common ones do not behave the same. What changes is the solution and the dwell time, not how hard anything is sprayed.
The most common exterior here
The usual Central Kentucky exterior. Washed with solution and rinsed at low pressure: the laps are overlapping boards, not a sealed skin, and they will take water upward if you give them a reason to.
Porous, and it holds what grows on it
Brick looks tough and is porous. Mortar joints are softer than the brick and are what fails first under pressure, so masonry is a dwell-time job rather than a force job.
Where pressure costs you a repaint
Older painted timber chalks and lifts. Pressure strips paint whether or not you meant to, which turns a wash into a prep job you did not budget for.
The least forgiving of the five
Hairline cracks are normal in render and invisible until water is pushed into them. Low pressure only, and we say so before quoting rather than after.
Published ranges, because almost nobody in this market will give you a number before a site visit. You get a firm figure before anything starts and only pay for work completed.
Crown’s published range for this service. Single or two-story, the usual elevations, ordinary growth.
The site publishes one band for house washing and no figure above it. The axis is reach and dwell time, so that is what a number past the band should be built on.
The $200 to $450+ figure is Crown’s own published house washing range, carried from the pressure washing hub unchanged. The site does not publish a breakdown inside that band, so nothing here invents one: what moves you within it is listed above. Several surfaces booked on one visit is one mobilization rather than several, which is where the saving actually is.
Four steps, no obligation, and you only pay for work completed.
Send photos of the worst of it and the whole elevation. A number is guaranteed within two hours during business hours, no site visit needed for most of these.
Planting against the wall is pre-wetted, and lights, outlets and vents get covered. This is the step that separates a wash from a repair bill.
The solution does the work and the time does the rest. The rinse is low pressure and is the last thing that happens, not the first.
We look at the elevations together before we leave. Anything that did not come off gets named rather than left for you to find.
Very quick from contact to in home to remove some flooring. Once on site they got straight to work and did an outstanding job! Very reasonable price for the work done. Will continue to use them for all future needs.
Very hard workers that cleaned out a whole house that was trashed and filthy. Very polite and considered. Would definitely recommend this company!
Extremely helpful and nice, was hired for land clearing and site preparation they removed pesky honey suckle. Definitely going to hire them in the future.
Based in Lexington, working the counties around it. Send the address rather than the town: access decides more than distance on most of these jobs.
Answered properly rather than deflected to a phone call.
Send two or three photos. If it is really a different service we will say so and point you at the right page. It costs you nothing either way.
Send photos insteadIt can, and that is why this is a soft wash rather than a pressure wash. Lap siding sheds water downward by design; forcing water upward into the laps pushes it behind the boards and into the sheathing, where it does not show up until much later. We use solution and dwell time and rinse at low pressure. Anyone quoting your house on PSI rather than method is telling you something about how they work.
Crown publishes $200 to $450+ for house washing, and that is the figure on the main pressure washing page too: a page about one service should not quote you a different number from the page about the service. Where you land inside it is decided by stories, how many elevations, and how established the growth is.
Because what costs time here is reach, not area. A wide single-story ranch and a narrow two-story house can have similar wall area and completely different setups: the second one needs ladders or extension poles for every foot of it. Floor area tells you almost nothing about an exterior wash.
Not if the beds are pre-wetted before anything is applied and rinsed properly afterwards. That is a real step that takes real time, and it is one of the places a cheap quote is cheap. Tell us what is planted tight against the wall when you send photos.
Yes, and plenty of people do. Elevations are priced individually, so front only, or front and the shaded side, is a perfectly sensible way to spend less. The north-facing wall is usually the one with the growth on it.
The faces of them, yes: gutter fronts, fascia and soffit get washed as part of the elevation. That is cleaning the outside of the gutter, not clearing the inside of it, which is a different job.
Send a photo of each elevation you want done and say how many stories. A firm number comes back within two hours, guaranteed, and if the growth is light enough that it is not worth paying for yet, we will tell you that instead.
