Northwest Indiana's Smart Choice for Exterior Pressure Washing

Those black streaks on your north-facing roof are gloeocapsa magma — an algae that thrives in the humidity coming off Lake Michigan. The green film on your shaded siding is mildew. Neither one comes off with a garden hose, and blasting them with 3,000 PSI drives water behind siding, strips shingle granules, and etches soft wood.

Smart Choice Exteriors uses the right pressure for each surface: soft wash chemistry at garden-hose pressure for siding and roofs, controlled surface cleaning for concrete flatwork, and low-pressure wood-safe treatment for decks and fences. Everything is plant-rinsed before and after so your landscaping comes through untouched.

Why Homeowners Pick Us

What Makes Our Pressure Washing Work Different

Soft Wash, Not Blast Wash

Siding and roofs are cleaned with a biodegradable solution at low pressure, killing the organism instead of just knocking off surface growth.

Shingle-Safe Roof Cleaning

Manufacturer-approved methods that remove black streaks without dislodging granules or voiding your roof warranty.

Even, Streak-Free Concrete

Rotating surface cleaners produce uniform driveways and patios — no zebra striping from a wand.

Landscaping Protected

Pre-soak, tarping where needed, and thorough post-rinse. Your beds and shrubs look the same when we leave.

Pressure Washing FAQ

Smart Answers For NWI Homeowners

+Will pressure washing damage my siding?

Not the way we do it. Siding is soft washed at roughly garden-hose pressure with cleaning solution doing the work, which is the method siding manufacturers actually recommend.

+How much does house washing cost in NWI?

Most single-family homes run $275–$650 depending on size and stories. Driveways, roofs and decks are quoted separately so you only buy what you need.

+How often should I have my house washed?

Every two to three years for most NWI homes, and annually for shaded, tree-covered or lakeshore properties.

+Is it safe for my roof?

Yes — we use a no-pressure chemical treatment on shingles. High-pressure roof washing strips granules and shortens roof life, so we never do it.

How We Approach Pressure Washing In Your Town

Northwest Indiana isn't one market. Soils, wind exposure, housing stock, and permit rules change from town to town — and so does the way we build.

Chesterton, Porter & Michigan City

Lakeshore humidity makes roof algae streaking worse here than anywhere else in NWI.

Valparaiso & Hebron

Heavy tree cover means shaded north walls need soft washing every two to three years.

Schererville, Dyer & St. John

Large concrete driveways and paver patios are our most requested flatwork cleaning in these subdivisions.

Whiting, Hammond & East Chicago

Industrial fallout and road grime respond best to a two-step detergent soft wash rather than raw pressure.
