The answer depends on your home, your location, and how quickly buildup shows up. Here’s how to tell if it’s already time.
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is when the best time to wash their house actually is. The honest answer depends on your home, its location, and how quickly buildup tends to show up.
Most Fraser Valley homes show the same early signs: a greenish tinge creeping up north-facing walls, dark streaking below the roofline, and cobwebs collecting under the soffits. In places like Chilliwack and Hope, where rain, shade and moisture are common, many homes need exterior washing sooner than people expect.
If your house is already looking dirty, green or dull, it likely means it’s time for a house wash. As a general guide, shaded or heavily treed lots tend to need a soft wash annually, while homes with more direct sun exposure can often stretch to every 18–24 months.
