Menlo Park homes sit under one of the heaviest tree canopies on the Peninsula. Mature oaks, redwoods, and palms drop pollen, dust, and organic debris on siding year-round, and the marine layer that drifts in off the Bay most mornings gives that film moisture to bond with. The result shows up as a dull gray haze on painted siding, streaking under gutter lines, and cobwebs packed into open eaves — buildup that makes a well-kept house read as tired from the curb.
The photos and video below are from a two-story Menlo Park house wash — light gray lap siding with white trim, open eaves with exposed rafter tails, and a white-painted brick chimney. The siding carried a film of dust and grime streaks, and the eaves and rafter tails had collected heavy cobwebs. We soft washed the full exterior, brushed and rinsed the eave lines, and finished with a top-down fresh-water rinse including the windows.
High pressure on painted lap siding forces water under the laps, strips paint, and can gouge softer boards. Soft wash uses low pressure with a biodegradable cleaning solution that lifts dirt and kills biological growth at the surface. It is safer for the material and the result lasts longer.

Siding material, paint condition, and buildup extent checked before any water is applied. Loose trim, gaps, and fixtures noted so they are treated with care.
Plants near the foundation pre-watered and protected. Windows, vents, and exterior outlets checked before the wash starts. Runoff directed away from garden beds.
Biodegradable cleaning solution applied at low pressure across siding and trim. Lifts dust film, grime streaks, and biological growth without damaging paint.
Open eaves, rafter tails, and fascia brushed and rinsed. Cobwebs and trapped debris removed — the most visible change on craftsman-style rooflines.
Full fresh-water rinse from the roofline down, windows included. Gutter exteriors rinsed of streaking, and hardscape cleared of runoff before we leave.
Exterior inspected from the street and up close after washing. Any missed areas re-treated before equipment is packed up.

Siding, trim, fascia, eaves, and gutter exteriors washed with a low-pressure soft wash, then a full top-down fresh-water rinse. Cobwebs and debris are removed from open eaves and rafter tails, and windows get a final rinse. We quote the exact scope before any work starts.
Menlo Park's mature tree canopy — oaks, redwoods, and palms — drops pollen, dust, and organic debris on siding year-round, and morning marine moisture helps it stick. The result is a gray film on paint, streaking under gutter lines, and cobwebs packed into open eaves. A house wash removes that buildup before it turns into staining.
Yes — soft wash is the correct method for painted wood and fiber-cement lap siding. Low pressure with a biodegradable cleaning solution lifts the film without forcing water under the laps or stripping paint. We do not blast painted siding with high pressure.
Yes. Open eaves and exposed rafter tails are cobweb magnets — we brush and rinse them as part of every Menlo Park house wash. On homes with craftsman-style rooflines it is often the most visible difference.
Every house wash ends with a fresh-water rinse that includes the windows, so they come out noticeably cleaner. If you want detailed glass and screen cleaning, we can add exterior window cleaning to the same visit — just ask when you call.
Most single-story homes take about half a day. Two-story homes like the one shown on this page take longer because eave lines and upper siding are reached by pole. We confirm timing when we quote the job.
Every 1 to 2 years for most properties. Homes under heavy oak or redwood canopy collect debris and pollen faster and often benefit from an annual wash.
We take precautions on every job. The cleaning solutions are biodegradable and dilute quickly, plants near the foundation are pre-watered and rinsed during the wash, and runoff is directed away from garden beds where possible.
No. We need exterior access — side gates unlocked and windows closed. Everything else, including the quote and final photos, can be handled by phone or text.
Yes. Bull Run Exterior Wash LLC is fully licensed and carries general liability insurance on every job.
