Power Washing Siding in Detroit: what to expect
Power washing siding in Detroit removes the green mildew, algae, road grime and soot that build up on north walls and shaded lots. Most siding should be soft washed: a cleaning solution applied at low pressure and rinsed, rather than blasted. High pressure can force water behind vinyl, strip the finish on aluminum and etch wood.
A careful crew protects plants, outlets, light fixtures and windows, keeps runoff out of storm drains, and adjusts the method to the material. Chalky aluminum siding will lose some finish when washed, so it is often cleaned right before repainting. On homes built before 1978, washing painted surfaces can release lead paint chips, which calls for lead-safe work practices.
Washing also reveals loose panels and damage. See siding repair if you spot problems, or compare pressure washing pros for driveways and decks.

- Protection of plants, fixtures, outlets and windows
- Soft wash solution suited to the siding material

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Washing siding is not construction, so a building permit is not normally part of the job. On homes built before 1978, washing that loosens or removes paint counts as disturbing it: a firm paid to disturb more than 20 square feet of exterior paint must be EPA RRP certified, follow lead-safe work practices, and give you the EPA Renovate Right pamphlet before work starts. Wastewater from washing should not be sent into storm drains; ask how the crew manages runoff.
Ask any washing company for proof of liability insurance. If the job grows into repairs or repainting, paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license, such as a Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license that lists Siding, or a Residential Builder license, so check the number on the LARA lookup.
