Cedar Siding Washing

What This Service Involves

Cedar is a Northwest favorite, yet its softness makes it easy to damage with careless pressure washing. We use a soft wash tuned for cedar that dissolves the mildew and tannin streaks common on shaded, rain-soaked walls. The method cleans deep into shake grooves and board seams without fuzzing the fibers or stripping the natural oils. Your cedar emerges even-toned and refreshed, with its character intact and ready for a fresh coat of stain if needed.

What Affects the Cost

Area and configuration of cedar shakes or boards; Severity of tannin streaking and mildew; Condition of any existing stain finish; Access height and safe equipment needs; Detail work around corners and trim

Best Time of Year

The dry months of summer are ideal so cedar dries completely and holds any new stain applied afterward.
