What do Austin homeowners say about Casa Care?
They rate us 5.0 stars across 208 Google reviews. Here are four from customers who had their house washed, quoted exactly as written.
“Casa Care was the BEST. We have a white stucco house and it was impossible for the gunk to come off. Our house was basically tan and black with a little green. We have lived here for 10 years and I have NEVER seen it this white before. They were so professional and friendly too. Definitely would have them come bac”
“Hired CasaCare for a window cleaning and house-wash, Ethan did a great job. Will be booking him for a gutter cleaning in the fall 😀”
“I hired Casa Care Property Services to do a house wash and window cleaning and they did an amazing job! Cannot say enough good things about them and I will be using them for Christmas lights!”
“Casa Care is a top notch company. I’ve had my windows cleaned, house pressure-washed, and holiday lights completed by them. They’re very timely, are great communicators, well-branded, consistent , send digital appointment reminders and payment links that are easy to use, and do really good work. I set them up to complete window cleaning and pressure-washing twice a year. It feels nice to have a manicured home and Casa Care delivers.”

#1 House Washing
for Austin, TX Homes
You stop noticing the grime creeping across your siding — until you pull into the driveway one evening and see the green-black streaks on the north wall, the dark film under the eaves, and the dull cast where your home used to look bright. That is not just dirt. In Central Texas humidity it is living mold, mildew, and algae, and left alone it spreads, digs in, and can stain paint and siding for good.
Here is the part most homeowners get wrong: renting a pressure washer and blasting the wall. High pressure can gouge stucco, chip paint, crack old caulk, and force water behind your siding — and it only rinses the surface green off, so the growth roots back within weeks. Soft washing is the safe, effective answer: low pressure plus biodegradable detergent that kills the mold, mildew, and algae at the root instead of just spraying it away.
Casa Care soft washes homes the gentle way, and Austin homeowners have rated the results 5.0 stars across 208 Google reviews. We wash the whole exterior gently and thoroughly: siding, eaves and soffits, gutter faces, and downspouts, with your landscaping pre-wet and protected the entire time. Not happy? Our satisfaction guarantee means we make it right. Want the whole property handled in one trip? Add a driveway cleaning or concrete cleaning and we’ll knock it all out at once.
Exteriors We Soft Wash
No two exteriors take detergent and pressure the same way, so we match the mix and technique to your material — delicate enough for chalky old paint, strong enough to pull decades of algae off a shaded brick wall. Our low-pressure soft-wash system is safe on virtually every home surface in Central Texas.
We regularly soft wash vinyl siding, HardiePlank and fiber-cement, brick, stucco, natural stone, and painted wood, along with the soffits and eaves where mildew hides. Gutter exterior faces, downspouts, spider webs, and wasp nests are cleared as part of the same visit — so the whole exterior looks finished, not just the easy-to-reach walls.
Why Austin Homes Get Dirty Fast
Central Texas is tough on a home’s exterior in a very specific way. Knowing what feeds the grime is half of keeping your siding clean — here’s what we see on Austin homes.
Mildew & Algae Take Hold
Warm, humid Central Texas air is the perfect climate for mold, mildew, and algae. On north-facing walls, under deep eaves, and anywhere your home stays shaded and damp, that green-black film settles into siding, brick, and stucco — and because it is alive, it keeps spreading until it is killed at the root, not just rinsed off.
Oak Tannin & Heavy Pollen
Austin’s live oaks are beautiful and brutal on exteriors. Tannins dripping from the canopy leave rusty brown streaks down siding and stucco, while one of the country’s longest pollen seasons — cedar in winter, oak in spring, ragweed in fall — coats walls in a fine film that turns to grime the first time it gets damp.
Hard-Water Runoff & Dust
Our limestone-hard water leaves chalky mineral runoff wherever sprinklers hit the walls or gutters overflow, and the region’s dry spells kick up dust and construction grit that clings to any damp surface. Together they build a dingy, streaky layer on siding and trim that a garden hose simply can’t break down.
This is why blasting the wall with a rented pressure washer rarely lasts in Austin — it strips the surface without killing what’s growing, and risks damaging your siding in the process. Our low-pressure soft-wash process uses biodegradable detergent to kill mold, mildew, and algae at the root, and a routine annual or twice-a-year schedule keeps them from ever getting a foothold.
Which side of an Austin house gets dirtiest, and why?
The north wall almost always looks worst, followed by anything under deep eaves, behind shrubs or below a live oak. Those spots stay shaded and damp long enough for mildew and algae to grow, while sunny south and west walls mostly collect dust.
North-facing wallsShade & damp
They get little direct sun, so dew and rain linger for hours. That’s where the green film usually shows up first, often in a band near the bottom of the wall.
Under eaves and soffitsMildew
Deep overhangs shade the top of the wall and trap humid air. Gray-black mildew, spider webs and wasp nests collect there, so we wash eaves and soffits on every visit.
Behind shrubs and bedsSplash-back
Sprinklers and rain splash soil onto the lowest courses of siding, and shrubs hold moisture against the wall. We pre-wet those plants before any detergent goes on and rinse them again afterward.
Below oaks and guttersTannin & overflow
Live oaks drip tannins that leave rusty streaks, and an overflowing gutter sends dirty water down the same stretch of wall every storm. If streaks line up under a gutter, a gutter cleaning fixes the source.
Walk around the house on a sunny afternoon and you can usually map the problem in five minutes. Those notes, or a couple of photos texted to (512) 522-4985, help us plan detergent strength and dwell time before we arrive.
What happens when you book a house wash?
Six steps, from a quick quote to a final walkthrough. We look at your siding, protect your landscaping, apply detergent at low pressure, let it dwell, rinse gently from the top down, then walk the exterior with you.
Free quote & inspection About 60 seconds
Share your home’s size, siding type and number of stories in the quote tool, or text a couple of photos. We confirm the price and flag anything that needs a closer look, like heavy algae on a shaded wall, oak-tannin streaks or delicate old paint.
Arrival & landscape protection On-the-way text
A text lets you know we’re on the way. After a quick hello, the crew pre-wets every shrub, flower bed and patch of lawn around the house so detergent never sits on your plants, and goes over the plan with you.
Soft-wash detergent application Low pressure
Biodegradable soft-wash solution goes on at low pressure across siding, eaves, soffits and gutter faces. There’s no high-pressure blast; the detergent coats the surface and breaks down grime and growth.
Dwell time: killing it at the root The step that lasts
The solution is given time to kill mold, mildew and algae at the root rather than just bleaching the surface for a week. A pressure washer skips this step, which is why soft-washed walls stay clean longer in Austin’s humidity.
Low-pressure rinse & detail Top down
We rinse the exterior gently from the top down, flushing away detergent and dead growth, clearing webs and wasp nests and rinsing your plants again. Gutter faces and downspouts get a final detail.
Walkthrough & invoicing Before we leave
We walk the finished exterior with you, or send photos if you’re out, then text or email a digital invoice. Pay by card, ACH, cash or check, with no deposit and no fees beyond your quote.
Planning roof, gutter or window cleaning too? A house wash comes after the roof and gutters and before the driveway and windows, as our exterior cleaning order guide lays out.

How does each type of siding handle a soft wash?
Every common Austin siding can be soft washed. What changes is the detergent mix, the dwell time and how gently we rinse. Vinyl and Hardie are the quickest; stucco, stone and older painted wood get a slower, more careful pass.
| Siding | What builds up | How we wash it |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Green algae and a dull gray film, especially on shaded walls. | Rinses clean quickly with low pressure. The detergent does the work, so seams and laps aren’t blasted. |
| HardiePlank & fiber cement | Dust, pollen and mildew in the board texture and along the drip edges. | Low-pressure soft wash with a careful rinse into the texture. Paint stays where it belongs. |
| Brick | Algae in mortar joints, white mineral bloom, and tannin streaks. | Can take a stronger mix and longer dwell on heavy growth, then a low-pressure rinse that doesn’t wash out mortar. |
| Stucco | Dark streaks and organic growth that soak into the porous finish. | Gentle detergent and dwell time instead of pressure, which is what cracks and gouges stucco. |
| Natural stone | Lichen, algae and dust settling into the stone’s texture. | A mix matched to the stone and a slow, low-pressure rinse. |
| Painted wood | Mildew and loose, chalky paint. | The gentlest pass of all. If paint is already failing, we’ll point it out before we start. |
Mixed exteriors are the norm here: a stone front with Hardie sides, or brick on the first floor and siding above. We adjust as we go around the house instead of using one setting for everything. If you’re not sure what your siding is, a photo is enough for us to tell.

What moves the price up or down
Square footage & sizeBiggest factor
The single biggest factor. We price by the wall area we’re treating, so a compact bungalow and a sprawling five-bedroom are very different jobs.
Stories & accessReach
A single-story ranch is quickest. Two-story walls, tight side yards, steep lots and hard-to-reach eaves take more setup and reach, which nudges the price up.
Siding typeMethod
Vinyl and Hardie rinse fast. Heavily textured stucco, stone and older painted wood need a gentler, more careful pass and a bit more time.
Degree of mildew & algaeCondition
A lightly dusty home is quick. Walls with heavy green-black algae, oak-tannin streaks or years of buildup need more detergent and dwell time to kill it at the root.
Add-onsBundle
Bundling roof soft washing, gutter cleaning, driveway or concrete cleaning, or windows adds to the total, but usually costs less than booking each separately.
First-time vs. maintenancePlan discount
The first wash does the heavy lifting. On an annual or twice-a-year maintenance plan, each recurring visit is discounted 10–20%.
No two houses are alike, so we quote yours specifically and stick to that number. The instant quote tool gives you a free custom price in about 60 seconds, with no phone call required.
Adding roof cleaning or window cleaning to the same visit takes care of the whole exterior in one trip.
Will a house wash fix faded or chalky paint?
A wash removes dirt, organic growth and loose chalk, but it can’t put color back into paint that has worn out. Knowing the difference saves you from expecting a wash to do a painter’s job, or from paying for paint when the house just needs a wash.
It’s dirt or growthA wash fixes it
Green, black or gray film that’s worst on shaded walls is organic growth and grime. Soft washing kills it at the root, and the original color comes back.
It’s chalkingA wash helps
Rub the wall and your hand comes away white or colored: that’s paint oxidizing in the sun. Washing removes the loose chalk so the wall looks cleaner and more even, but faded paint stays faded.
It’s peeling or crackedPaint needed
Flaking paint, open caulk joints or bare wood need repair. We use the gentlest pass on those areas and point them out, since no wash should push water into a failing finish.
Gutter faces and trimIncluded
The dark tiger-stripe streaks on gutter faces are oxidation. Brightening gutter faces and washing downspout exteriors is part of every house wash.
Many homeowners book a wash first and decide about painting afterward, because a clean wall shows what condition the paint is really in. Paired with window cleaning, roof cleaning or driveway cleaning on the same visit, the whole exterior comes out matching.
