Transforming a Farmhouse in Hoagland, IN with Expert Softwashing

Recently, we completed a house washing project for a large farmhouse in Hoagland, IN. The property had significant algae and lichen growth that not only affected its appearance but also posed risks to the siding’s longevity. Using our specialized softwashing techniques, we restored the home to its former glory.

The Challenge

This 30+ year-old farmhouse had accumulated heavy algae growth and lichen on its siding, which required a gentle yet thorough cleaning approach to remove without causing damage.

Our Approach

To tackle the organic buildup, we relied on our Honda GX690-powered pressure washer and AR45 gas roof pump, paired with our professional-grade softwashing method. This approach used low-pressure water and eco-friendly cleaning solutions, ensuring the siding was cleaned safely and effectively.

The Results

Our softwashing delivered incredible results:

The siding was restored to a like-new condition, with no algae or lichen remaining.

The home’s curb appeal improved dramatically, giving it a refreshed and inviting look.

By removing the organic growth, we halted its spread, protecting the integrity of the siding.

The homeowner, who wasn't home when we completed the project, later shared his excitement, saying:

> "I couldn’t believe our 30+ year-old siding looks new! I thought we’d have to replace it."

Why Softwashing is the Best Choice

Softwashing is ideal for homes like this farmhouse, where traditional pressure washing could risk damage. Its low-pressure application is perfect for older siding and delicate surfaces, removing algae and lichen without harm.

Benefits of Softwashing:

Safe for all types of siding, especially aging materials

Prevents organic growth from returning quickly
