Professional soft wash house cleaning for Matthews' family neighborhoods. From established communities near downtown to newer developments along Highway 51, we clean homes safely.
Matthews has a well-deserved reputation as one of Charlotte's most family-friendly communities. The tree-lined streets, established neighborhoods, and small-town feel are a big part of that appeal. But all those mature trees create shade that promotes algae and mildew growth on your home's exterior.
That green film on your siding isn't dirt you can simply hose off. It's a combination of algae, mold, and mildew that thrives in Charlotte's humid climate. Matthews neighborhoods like Windsor Park, McKee Farms, and the areas near downtown have significant tree coverage that keeps homes partially shaded year-round. This creates the damp conditions where organic growth spreads.
North-facing walls get hit hardest because they stay damp longest after rain. But look closely at any Matthews home that hasn't been cleaned in a couple of years, and you'll see the growth spreading across every surface. The good news is that professional soft washing removes all of it, leaving your house looking years younger.
Different areas, different home ages, same quality results

We adjust our soft wash approach for these older materials. Low pressure and professional-grade solutions clean safely without damaging original features that give these homes their charm.
Matthews' established neighborhoods from the 1980s and 1990s feature mature landscaping and significant tree coverage. We see heavy organic growth in these shaded areas but achieve excellent results. These homes often have a mix of vinyl, brick, and wood trim that all respond well to soft washing.
Matthews continues to grow with new construction appearing along the major corridors. Even these newer homes show green growth within a few years in Charlotte's climate. We clean hundreds of homes in newer Matthews neighborhoods, keeping them looking fresh despite the humidity.

Matthews has mature tree coverage throughout most neighborhoods, which creates shade that promotes algae and mildew growth. The town's location in Charlotte's humid climate zone means organic growth thrives on exterior surfaces. North-facing walls and areas under large trees get hit hardest. Regular soft washing every 1-3 years keeps growth under control.
We understand that Matthews is a commuter community where many homeowners work during the week. We offer Saturday appointments and can sometimes accommodate Sunday work. Our scheduling flexibility helps Matthews families get their homes cleaned without taking time off work.
Results typically last 1-3 years depending on your specific conditions. Matthews homes with significant tree coverage or north-facing walls may see regrowth faster. Homes with more sun exposure can stay clean for 3+ years. We recommend annual cleaning for best curb appeal, but most Matthews homeowners clean every 2-3 years.
