Why Power Washing Matters
Over time, homes across the tri-state area are exposed to a mix of harsh weather, pollen, algae, mildew, and dirt. Connecticut and New York properties near the coast or surrounded by trees are especially vulnerable to green algae and black mold buildup. A professional soft wash removes this grime safely and effectively without damaging your siding, roof, or landscaping. It doesn’t just make your house look better—it can extend the life of your exterior materials and prevent long-term damage. Learn more about soft washing
What is Soft Washing, and Why Should You Care?
Not all power washing is created equal. High-pressure washing can damage vinyl, wood, stucco, and other materials if used improperly. That’s where soft washing comes in. Soft washing uses a low-pressure system combined with specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, mildew, and mold at the root. It’s the safest and most effective method for house washing, especially for delicate surfaces. If the company you're considering only uses high pressure, that’s a red flag.

What to Look for in a Power Washing Company
When choosing a soft washing provider in Fairfield County or Westchester County, here are the must-haves:
- Five-Star Reviews & Social Proof: Start by checking Google reviews, Facebook, and local community boards. ViewCrew, for example, has over 800 five-star reviews, showing a track record of quality and reliability.
- Fast, Friendly Communication: You shouldn't have to wait days for a callback. A professional company responds quickly, communicates clearly, and makes scheduling easy.
- Licensed & Insured: Make sure the company carries proper insurance to protect your home and their team.
- Experienced Technicians: Ask if their team is trained in soft washing and knows how to protect landscaping and delicate finishes.
- Transparent Pricing: A trustworthy provider offers quotes in writing and explains exactly what you’re paying for.
- Educational Resources on Their Website: The best companies provide helpful, transparent information about their services online. ViewCrew's roof washing page, for instance, walks you through their safe and effective soft wash process for treating moss and mildew.
How Much Should Power Washing Your House Cost?
In Fairfield County and Westchester County, soft washing a home typically costs between $400 and $900, depending on the size of your house, the surface material, and the extent of buildup.
For example:
- Small vinyl-sided homes in Norwalk might start around $400-$500.
- Larger homes in Westport or Greenwich with more buildup or multiple stories could range from $700-$900.
Avoid extremely low prices that seem too good to be true. In many cases, these providers skip important safety steps, don’t carry insurance, or may use damaging high-pressure methods.
