Green Algae on Siding Wilmington and Other Signs

Wilmington weather leaves clear marks long before the damage gets costly. If you see any of these seven, it is time for a wash.

Technician soft washing algae from shaded siding on a Wilmington home
  • Green or black film on the north sideShaded walls stay damp, so algae settles in first. It dulls paint and creeps toward windows and trim.
  • Black streaks on shinglesThose dark stripes are living algae, not dirt. They hold moisture against the roof and spread with every rain.
  • Slick, gray decksMildew and weathering make boards slippery and hard to stain later.
  • Orange rust from sprinklersIrrigation water with iron paints orange fans across concrete and walls. More pressure will not lift them.
  • Yellow pollen film in springPine pollen coats windows, cars and porches, and it feeds new growth on damp surfaces.
  • A dark, blotchy drivewayAlgae and oil build up in layers, and wet concrete turns slippery.
  • Tiger stripes on guttersBlack and gray bands run down the faces and trace back to roof runoff.

Why Neighbors Pick Our Local Crew

Before and After Photos

Every job ends with photos from the same angles as the start. You see the change and can share it with a landlord, buyer or board.

Why Algae and Mildew Grow So Fast Here

The National Weather Service in Wilmington records about 60 inches of rain a year over roughly 122 rainy days. Average humidity runs near 74 percent, and it climbs to about 80 percent in August. Morning fog shows up on about half of all days, so surfaces rarely dry out completely.

  • North and shaded walls go green firstLittle sun and slow airflow keep siding wet long after the storm passes.
  • Pine pollen feeds the growthThe peak runs from late March to early April and leaves a sticky yellow layer that algae loves.
  • Salt air adds a filmNear the beach, salt holds moisture on paint, screens and railings.
  • Storms leave mud and debrisHurricane season runs from June to November, and heavy rain splashes soil up onto lower walls.

How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in Wilmington?

Pricing depends on the surface, its size and how much growth is on it. The ranges below show where typical jobs land, and a quick look at photos sets your final range. Bundling a house, drive and deck in one visit saves a trip.

Service Typical Range What Moves the Price
One story house wash $250 to $450 Square footage, siding type
Two story house wash $350 to $650 Height, access, buildup
Roof cleaning $350 to $750 Pitch, roof type, stain level
Driveway cleaning $100 to $250 Size, oil, rust
Wood deck cleaning $150 to $400 Square feet, railings, stairs

Add ons such as gutter brightening, rust treatment and sealing change the total. We tell you about each one before we start.

Pressure Washing or Soft Washing: What Your Home Needs

Not every surface can take the same force. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) says high pressure washing is likely to damage asphalt roofing. A bleach and water mix with a gentle rinse is its advice.

Surface Best Method
Concrete driveways and walks Surface cleaner
Pavers and pool decks Pressure with a surface cleaner
Vinyl siding Soft wash
Shingle and metal roofs Soft wash
Stucco and brick Soft wash
Window screens and trim Soft wash

Soft surfaces get low pressure and a cleaner that does the work. Hard, flat surfaces get force and speed from the right equipment. Gutters, trim and screens follow the soft side of the table, because they bend, chip or lose paint under a strong stream.

Pressure Washing Questions We Hear Often

What will a Wilmington house wash cost me?

Most Wilmington homes pay about $250 to $450 for a one story house wash and $100 to $250 for a driveway. Size, stories, how much algae there is and add ons like roofs or decks move the price. Call for a range before we come out.

Is pressure washing safe for vinyl siding?

High pressure is not. It can crack panels and push water behind the siding. We soft wash vinyl at low pressure with a cleaner that kills algae and mildew, then rinse gently, so the siding stays clean longer and stays in one piece.

How often should I wash my house in Wilmington?

Most homes here need a house wash once a year because of the humidity and rain. Shaded homes, homes near marsh or the beach, and homes under pines may need it every 9 to 12 months. A spring wash after pollen season works well.

Do you need to be home for pressure washing?

No. We just need the water on, gates unlocked, cars moved off the driveway and windows shut. We send before and after photos when we finish, and we walk the job with you by phone if you are not home.

Will the cleaning solution hurt my plants or pets?

We wet plants before and after, rinse well and cover delicate beds when needed. Keep pets inside while we work and until surfaces dry. The solution breaks down quickly once it is rinsed and diluted.

What is the best time of year to pressure wash in Wilmington?

Late spring, once the pine pollen drops in April, is the most popular time. Fall works well too, after hurricane season winds down. We clean all year since winters here are mild, avoiding freezing mornings.
