Aluminum Siding Soft Wash – Arlington, VA

We recently completed a house softwashing in Arlington, VA, restoring a charming 1950s aluminum-sided home that had lost its shine from years of exposure to weather, traffic, and organic buildup. Located on a busy corner lot, the white exterior had developed noticeable staining from mold, mildew, algae, and fallout—a common issue for homes near high-traffic areas.

This project required a delicate touch, as aluminum siding and oxidized paint can be easily damaged with high pressure or improper techniques. Using our professional-grade power washing system with an adjustable tip, we safely applied our cleaning solution and rinsed the home at low pressure—ensuring the siding was unharmed while thoroughly cleaned.

Because the job took place on a hot summer day, we pre-wet the siding and surrounding landscaping—which featured beautiful flowers and carefully maintained greenery. The homeowner clearly took pride in her space, so we treated the property with the same level of care. By cooling the surface beforehand, we ensured that our cleaning solution wouldn’t flash-dry in the sun and could work properly to lift stubborn stains.

We began on the shaded side of the house where most of the organic growth had taken hold. After an initial application and rinse, we made a second pass to ensure a thorough cleaning. The results were stunning: years of grime melted away, revealing a vibrant white exterior that had dulled to gray over time. The siding’s oxidation remained undisturbed, thanks to our gentle, professional soft-wash process.

As a small bonus, we also cleaned the walkway—something the homeowner hadn’t requested but was delighted to see. She said she hadn’t seen it that clean in years.

This project was especially meaningful to us. Our owner, Ervin, had a family connection with the homeowner—both of their grandmothers were lifelong friends from the Hall’s Hill neighborhood, which also serves as the inspiration behind our company name and logo. It was more than just a job; it was a chance to serve someone tied to our roots.
