House Washing in Calgary, AB

Why Calgary Homes Need More Than a Basic Rinse

Silvertip Wash Co. is a professional exterior cleaning company serving Calgary, AB and the surrounding communities. Wind, intense sun, and the freeze-thaw cycle push dirt and oxidation deep into siding over time, dulling the color and degrading the surface in ways a quick rinse won’t fix. Every house wash we do covers the siding, exterior of the gutters, soffits, window frames, and doors. We run a gas pressure washer with a diesel heater that delivers hot water at low pressure, because heat breaks down oxidation more effectively than force. We close every wash with a reverse osmosis purified rinse that removes minerals and sediment from the water itself, leaving the surface to dry spot-free and streak-free.

What makes this more than a standard pressure wash is the process behind it. After the heated rinse, we apply specialized detergents to break down long-term oxidation and embedded seasonal buildup, then hand scrub every single panel using a soft natural hair brush on a water-fed pole. That physical agitation is the step most crews skip, and it’s the reason our results look different. Whether your home has vinyl siding, Hardie board, or stucco, we adjust our technique to suit the material so the cleaning is thorough without putting the surface at risk.

What You'll Pay for a House Wash in Calgary
and What Drives the Cost

Breaking Down the Cost of a Calgary House Wash

For homes with significant oxidation and embedded seasonal buildup, the oxidation removal house wash starts at around $800, and on average most homes come in around $1,000 per house. The final number reflects what we find on site, and several factors shape it:

  • Square footage of the home
  • Stories and architecture: bungalow, walkout, two-story, or three-story each affect access and time on site
  • Severity of oxidation and embedded grime, which determines how intensive the restoration work needs to be
  • Access and complexity, including tight side yards, detailed trim, and multi-surface exteriors
  • Full scope: we include the exterior of the gutters, soffits, window frames, and doors, not just the siding panels

We quote in person because those variables change the job enough that a phone estimate would be inaccurate in one direction or the other.

Bundle Savings and Service Plan Discounts

Booking a house wash and window wash together gets you 10% off, and adding gutter cleaning to that combination bumps the discount up to 15% off. For homeowners who want to stay on top of buildup throughout the year, service plan savings are also available:

  • Quarterly plan customers save $100 off
  • Biannual plan customers save $50 off
  • Monthly plan customers save $150 off

We can help you figure out which plan fits your home and how quickly buildup typically returns after each service.

The Siding Types We Clean
and How We Approach Each One

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl Siding: Calgary's Most Common Exterior, Done Right

Vinyl is the most common siding material we work with locally. We apply a low-pressure hot water rinse, follow with oxidation-lifting detergents, and then hand scrub every panel using a soft natural hair brush on a water-fed pole. That scrubbing step is what separates our results from chemical-only approaches, lifting embedded debris that dwell-and-rinse methods leave behind. We close with a hot water rinse and the reverse osmosis purified finish.

Hardie Board siding

Hardie Board: Same Careful Technique, Lighter on Soap

Hardie board gets the same low-pressure, hand-scrubbing process as vinyl, with one adjustment: we don’t use as many soaps on Hardie board. Fiber cement responds differently than vinyl, so we pull back on product volume while keeping the same careful method throughout.

Stucco Siding

Stucco: Low Pressure and Targeted Scrubbing Where It's Needed

Stucco requires a gentler approach given its texture and how it holds moisture. We work at low pressure and scrub specific areas as needed. If you have stucco and want a realistic picture of what a wash can achieve, we’ll give you that during the quote.

What Sets Silvertip Wash Co. Apart When Calgary Homeowners Hire for House Washing

pressure

Heat Does the Heavy Lifting So Pressure Doesn't Have To

Our gas pressure washer paired with a diesel heater delivers hot water at the nozzle. Heat breaks down oxidation and embedded grime in a way cold water can’t, which means we get thorough results at low pressure while protecting panel edges, caulking, and siding integrity throughout the job.

scrubs

We Scrub Every Panel. Most Crews Don't

Most exterior cleaning crews apply chemicals, let them dwell, and rinse. That method leaves stubborn oxidation and trapped grime behind because there’s no physical contact involved. We hand scrub every panel with a soft natural hair brush on a water-fed pole, lifting what soaking alone won’t reach without stressing the siding material.

water

Purified Rinse Water for a Spot-Free, Streak-Free Result

Calgary tap water carries minerals and sediment that leave marks when they dry on siding. Our reverse osmosis system removes them before the final rinse, so the surface dries clean with no white spots on dark panels and no residue that pulls fresh dust back within days.

house clean

The Full Exterior Gets Cleaned: Gutters, Soffits, Frames, and Doors Too

We include the exterior of the gutters, soffits, window frames, and doors in every house wash as standard. Those surfaces collect the same oxidation as the siding, and leaving them behind makes the whole facade look inconsistent.

How Our House Washing Actually Works,
From First Call to Final Follow-Up

Calgary weather can shift quickly, and if conditions become unsafe on your service day we’ll reach out and adjust. We also need access to an exterior water hookup since we don’t bring water on site; we confirm that during the quote.

You Submit a Request, We Get Back to You Fast

When you submit an inquiry through our website, we’re notified right away and respond quickly. We ask a few targeted questions upfront to confirm your home type and whether you’re looking at oxidation removal or a maintenance wash before we schedule the visit.

1

We Come Out for an In-Person Quote and Restoration Assessment

We assess square footage, stories and architecture, side access, and the severity of oxidation and embedded buildup in person. For restoration work, those details change the job enough that guessing over the phone doesn’t serve you well.

2

Scheduling and Automated Updates Through Jobber

Once you approve the quote, we lock in a date and Jobber handles communication from there, including a day-before service notification so you know exactly when to expect us.

3

We Arrive, Walk the Property, and Protect Your Landscaping

We do a quick site check on arrival before any equipment comes on. All plants and landscaping are watered down before the wash begins and again after it’s complete so runoff doesn’t sit on your garden.

4

Checking for Holes and Vulnerable Areas Before Anything Gets Wet

We walk the exterior looking for holes or damaged siding and review anything we find with you before proceeding. Openings can be covered with clear Gorilla Tape to prevent water from getting behind the panels during the wash.

5

Heated Low-Pressure Pre-Rinse to Loosen Surface Buildup

Our gas unit with the diesel heater runs a heated low-pressure rinse across the full exterior, using hot water to begin breaking down surface dirt and oxidation on contact without relying on pressure to do the work.

6

Oxidation-Lifting Detergents Applied Where They're Needed

We apply specialized detergents designed to break down long-term oxidation, surface grime, and deeply embedded seasonal buildup from years of sun, wind, and moisture exposure. This is the layer a basic rinse can’t touch.

7

Hand Scrubbing Every Single Panel, the Step That Makes the Difference

Every panel gets hand scrubbed using a soft natural hair brush on a water-fed pole. The brush lifts embedded debris that the detergent has loosened but not fully released, which is exactly the step that chemical-only methods skip.

8

Hot Rinse, Purified Finish, and a Follow-Up Call to Confirm You're Happy

A thorough hot water rinse clears away everything we’ve loosened, followed by the reverse osmosis purified rinse for a spot-free, streak-free result. We notify you when we’re done, offer a walkaround, leave a coupon and referral cards, send the invoice, and follow up with a happy call within 4 to 5 days to confirm full satisfaction.

Our Guarantee, Our Insurance, and What We Do If You're Not Fully Satisfied

Every house wash is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The optional walkaround lets you review the work while we’re still on site, and the happy call within 4 to 5 days gives you time to assess the home before we follow up. If something isn’t right, we address it. We also carry over $2 million in insurance coverage, so your property is protected from the start.

When a Maintenance Wash Is the Right Call Instead of a Full Restoration

Not every house wash needs to be a full oxidation removal job. If your siding is in reasonable shape, has been cleaned recently, or hasn’t accumulated years of deeply embedded buildup, a lighter maintenance wash may be the more appropriate service. We assess which approach makes sense during the in-person quote based on the actual condition of your siding at the time. Homeowners who stay on a regular cleaning schedule often find that follow-up visits qualify for the less intensive option rather than a full restoration each time, which is one of the practical reasons a service plan tends to pay off over the long run. We’ll give you a straight read on what your home actually needs when we come out.

Oxidation removal is a restoration-focused process designed to break down long-term oxidation and embedded grime, not just rinse off surface dust. We use heated low pressure, specialized detergents, and panel-by-panel hand scrubbing to restore the siding’s appearance more thoroughly.

 Our full house wash includes the siding, soffits, the exterior of the gutters, window frames, and doors. This gives the entire exterior a consistent, cleaned finish instead of leaving trim and detail areas behind.

If we find holes or openings, we can cover them with clear Gorilla Tape to help prevent water from getting behind the siding. We’ll go over any vulnerable areas with you before we proceed.

We aim to use eco-friendly products, and we protect landscaping by watering plants before and after washing so runoff doesn’t sit on them. Most concerns we hear are about plants, and this step is part of our routine.
