Pressure washing in Columbia
Columbia is the largest market in our range and the most varied — everything from Shandon bungalows with original wood detail to new construction out toward the northeast. That variety is the whole reason we quote off the surfaces rather than the square footage, because two houses of identical size in different Columbia neighborhoods need completely different methods.
What Columbia homes actually need
Midlands heat and humidity drive fast organic regrowth citywide, and the historic districts hold materials that high pressure permanently damages — so the method has to change street by street.
- Soft wash
House Washing
A low-pressure soft wash that strips algae, mildew and mineral film off siding, stone and stucco without forcing water behind it.
Every 12–18 months - Hand detail
Window Cleaning
Pure-water pole system that leaves glass to dry spot-free, with no ladders leaning on your gutters.
Every 6–12 months - Surface clean
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Surface-cleaner passes that lift years of gray out of concrete evenly. No zebra stripes, no wand marks.
Every 12 months
Why Columbia is its own job
Housing here is mostly highly varied: historic bungalows with original wood, mid-century brick, and new-build vinyl and stone, and that shapes how we work. Midlands heat and humidity drive fast organic regrowth citywide, and the historic districts hold materials that high pressure permanently damages — so the method has to change street by street. We plan every Columbia visit around exactly that.
You'll find our trucks regularly in Shandon, Forest Acres, Rosewood, Heathwood and Northeast Columbia, and anywhere within sight of the University of South Carolina or Riverbanks Zoo and Garden.

Columbia customers, in their words
“Ray's did an outstanding job on our house and windows! The north side of our house was covered in green algae and two other companies told us it needed repainting. Ray soft-washed it completely clean in a few hours. Looks brand new!”
