LA SOFT WASH
What a Full House Wash Actually Covers in Baton Rouge

LA Softwash handles soft wash house washing across Baton Rouge, Southdowns, Highland, Mid City South, Prairieville, Gonzales, and the surrounding area using a dedicated soft wash system, not a pressure washer turned down low. Every job covers soffits, fascia, walls, trim, basic exterior windows, porches, and patios. We do not take on partial washes because setup takes the same effort for one wall or four. Baton Rouge’s heat and humidity grow mildew, algae, and dirt dauber nests fast, and regular soft washing keeps that buildup from wearing down your home.
House Washing Prices in Baton Rouge
Real Numbers and Honest Cost Factors
How We Calculate Your
House Wash Price
Every quote is based on square footage under roof. The overall working range is $0.20 to $0.30 per square foot under roof, depending on size, stories, complexity, and contamination.
- Typical one-story homes start at $0.20 per square foot under roof. A 2,000 sq ft home at that rate runs roughly $400.
- Two-story homes with balconies typically fall around $0.24 to $0.26 per square foot under roof, putting a 2,000 sq ft home at about $480.
- Very complex homes with exposed soffit rafters can reach up to $0.30 per square foot under roof, or roughly $600 at 2,000 sq ft.
Oxidation removal is not part of the base price and is quoted separately. You get a formal work order before work starts, no deposit, and you pay after the job is done.
Bundle Deals, Annual Discounts, and Ways to Save on House Washing
- House + Concrete Bundle: About 5% off the combined total. A $400 house wash plus $300 in concrete cleaning comes to $700 before discount and roughly $665 after.
- House + Roof + Concrete Bundle: Add roof cleaning for around 10% off all three services combined.
- Annual House Wash Pricing: A $500 first house wash could lock in at $475/year as long as scope and interval stay consistent.

Exterior Surfaces and Materials We Soft Wash
Across Baton Rouge

Vinyl and Hardie Board Siding
Our system applies a mix of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and soap at true low pressure, breaking down mildew, algae, and organic staining on vinyl and Hardie board, then rinsing top to bottom without pushing water behind siding.

Stucco and Brick Exteriors
High-pressure washing etches stucco and grinds mortar on brick, especially on older homes. Our solution loosens growth and residue at low pressure, with mix strength adjusted per material.

Soffits, Fascia, Porches, Patios, and Exterior Windows
Every house wash includes soffits, fascia, porches, patios, and basic exterior windows. More detailed work like track cleaning or interior glass is handled through our professional window cleaning service.

Chalky or Faded Siding: Oxidation Removal as an Add-On
If your siding leaves a chalky residue or shows uneven fading, that is oxidation from sun exposure. We treat it after a standard wash with a specialized solution, quoted separately.

LA SOFT WASH
Why Baton Rouge Homeowners Pick LA Softwash for
House Washing

A True Soft Wash Rig, Not a Pressure Washer Turned Down
Our pump runs at around 150 to 200 PSI at the pump, even less at the nozzle. A pressure washer can blow paint, etch stucco, or force water behind trim even turned down. In Baton Rouge’s climate, the equipment matters.

Complete Coverage from Shingles to Ground, No Patchy Results
Everything from shingles to ground is in scope, plus basic exterior windows. We do not do partial washes.

Formal Work Orders, Pre-Service Prep, and Clear Expectations
You get a formal work order, insurance approval link, and pre-work guideline covering crew procedures, homeowner prep, plant protection, and payment links. We text the night before to confirm.

Three-Stage Plant Protection Backed by a 45-Day Regrowth Guarantee
We pre-wet before chemicals, rinse during, and rinse after. If any plant shows no regrowth in 45 days, we replace it at our expense. In years of service we have lost two rose bushes and replaced both.

No Deposits, Photo-Verified Results, and a Track Record That Speaks for Itself
No deposits on standard residential work. You pay after the job is done. If you are not home, we send photos before asking for payment. We have never had a refund request.

Local Baton Rouge Know-How and Long-Term Maintenance Options
We are on Baton Rouge properties every week. Bundle savings and annual pricing are available for homeowners who want to stay ahead of the buildup, and we also offer gutter cleaning for homes that need the full exterior package.

How Our House Washing Process Works in Baton Rouge, LA

Phone Estimate and Getting on the Schedule
Call or submit an online form with your square footage, stories, and layout. We measure most homes remotely. Once the estimate feels right, we lock in a date.

Work Order, Prep Guidelines, and Your Night-Before Reminder
You receive a work order, insurance approval link, and pre-work guideline covering homeowner prep (pets, doors, gates, driveway), plant protection, and payment options. We text the night before to confirm.

Arrival, Safety Setup, and Plant Pre-Watering
The crew arrives, walks the property, covers electrical outlets and door seams, and pre-wets all landscaping before any chemical goes on.

Soft Wash Application and Top-to-Bottom Rinsing
We apply a bleach-and-surfactant solution, adjusting mix and dwell time for the surface and contamination. On smaller homes we go all the way around before rinsing; on larger homes we work in sections. Rinsing is always top to bottom.

Oxidation Treatment (If Needed), Final Rinse, Photos, and Payment
If oxidation removal was approved, it happens now. Plants get a final rinse and the crew confirms uniform results. If you are not home, we send after photos. You pay through the method in your pre-work document.
Our Guarantees, Policies, and
What Stands Behind Every House Wash

If any plant in the work zone shows no new growth within 45 days, we replace it at our cost. We have never had a customer demand a refund and set realistic expectations on older materials. When you bundle roof cleaning with a house wash, the roof work comes with a three-year warranty.

House Washing Questions Baton Rouge Homeowners Ask Us
What exactly is included in your house wash?
Soffits, fascia, walls, trim, porches, patios, and basic exterior windows. Everything from where the shingles stop to the ground.
Are exterior windows included, or is that extra?
Included with every house wash at a basic clean level. Track cleaning or interior glass is a separate service.
What is NOT included in a standard house wash?
Interior windows, window track detailing, and oxidation removal are not part of the standard house wash. Oxidation removal is available as a separate add-on, quoted after a technician sees the siding in person.
Why don't you offer partial house washes?
Setup is the same for one wall or four. One clean side next to three dirty ones is not a result we stand behind.
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses a dedicated pump that applies a cleaning solution at very low pressure, around 150 to 200 PSI at the pump and less at the nozzle, letting the chemical do the work. A pressure washer, even turned down, can still blow paint, etch stucco, or force water behind siding and trim. We break down the full comparison in our guide to pressure washing vs. soft washing in Baton Rouge.
What’s the best time of year to wash my house?
Spring and fall are most common, since oak pollen in spring and storm debris in fall make siding dirty quickly. House washing can still be done safely year-round in Baton Rouge’s climate.
How long does a house wash take?
Most house washes take between two and three hours. Larger or more complex homes with features like exposed soffit rafters or heavy contamination may run longer.
Do I need to be home for the house wash?
No. Water access, gate access, and pets put away is all we need. We send photos before collecting payment.
Why do you use my water instead of bringing your own?
Connecting to your spigot is standard in exterior cleaning and gives us a steady source for the whole job. We cover this in the pre-work guidelines sent before service.
What happens if it rains or is very windy on my service day?
Light rain does not stop us. We reschedule for high winds or extreme cold.
Will your house washing chemicals harm my plants, family, or pets?
We use bleach and soap applied at low pressure through a dedicated soft wash system. We pre-wet plants before chemicals, rinse during, and rinse after. Keep pets inside during service, and if any plant shows no regrowth in 45 days, we replace it at our cost. You can read more about how we protect local homes in our post on whether soft washing is safe for Baton Rouge homes.
Can house washing damage my siding, brick, or stucco?
Not with a true soft wash system. We apply solution at low pressure, not high-pressure blasting, and we adjust mix strength per surface material.
Could house washing reveal existing issues like peeling paint or oxidation?
Yes. Removing the layer of organic growth and dirt can make underlying conditions easier to see. When we spot something like oxidation or worn areas during the wash, we take photos and let you know so you can decide how to handle it.
What happens to rinse water that reaches my lawn or nearby drains?
Our three-stage plant watering (before, during, and after the wash) dilutes the solution before it reaches soil and grass. In Louisiana, residential rinse water is generally allowed to reach on-site drainage. If you have a specific concern about a pond, pool, or sensitive area, let us know before the job so we can plan around it.
Is there anything I need to do after my house wash?
No special aftercare is needed. Our crew handles all plant rinsing, the final walkaround, and cleanup before leaving. If any plant near the wash area shows no new growth within 45 days, we replace it, so there is nothing extra on your end.
What is oxidation and how do you handle it?
Chalky residue, fading, or streaks caused by sun exposure breaking down the siding finish. We treat it after a standard wash with a specialized chemical, quoted separately after a technician assesses the surface.
How often should I have my house washed?
Every 12 to 24 months for most Baton Rouge homes. Heavy shade or north-facing walls may need annual washing, and we offer discounted annual pricing for recurring clients. For a deeper look at timing, see our guide on how often to soft wash your house in Baton Rouge.
