This past Saturday morning we washed a home in Manteno that had turned green on the shaded side. The homeowner had already booked another pressure washing contractor, that contractor canceled on him, and his weekday schedule left him no room to reschedule. So we broke our own Monday through Friday rule and got it done.
- Job: Full house wash, vinyl siding, single family home
- Location: Manteno, IL 60950, Kankakee County
- Problem: Heavy green algae on the shaded siding, dull gutter faces
- Method: Low pressure soft wash, no high pressure on the siding
- Day: Saturday morning, booked as an exception
- Why he called us: His first contractor canceled and never rebooked him
Before and After
Green Vinyl Siding to Clean Vinyl Siding
The photo below shows the same wall before and after. The green you see on the left is algae growth, not dirt, which is why rinsing it with a garden hose never works. Algae roots into the surface film on vinyl siding and needs a cleaning solution with enough dwell time to kill it.
No ladders on the siding. No scrubbing. No pressure washer tip cutting into the vinyl. Just the right mix, the right dwell time, and a full rinse from the roofline down. You can read more about how we approach it on our house washing page.
The Job
Why We Washed This House on a Saturday
Green Pro Services runs Monday through Friday. Our crew works weekdays, our supply runs happen on weekdays, and keeping weekends open is part of how we keep good technicians. That rule holds for almost every job we book.
This homeowner called us in a spot most people know. He had lined up another pressure washing company, took the appointment, and then got canceled on with no replacement date. He works weekdays and did not want a crew at his house while nobody was home. The next opening that actually fit his life was a Saturday morning.
We looked at the schedule, saw that we could get his house done early before the day heated up, and told him yes. A canceled appointment is not the customer's fault, and Manteno is 15 minutes from our shop. Making one exception was easy math.

Our Process
How We Washed This Manteno Home
Four steps, start to finish, on a standard vinyl siding house wash.
Protect the Property
We pre wet the landscaping, move furniture and grills away from the walls, and check outlets, fixtures, and open windows before any solution touches the house.
Apply the Soft Wash
We apply a low pressure cleaning solution from the bottom up so it never streaks, mixed for the level of growth on that wall. The shaded north side got a stronger dwell than the sunny side.
Let It Work
The solution kills the algae at the root. Pressure does not do that. This is the step most homeowners and most rental machines skip, and it is why the green comes back in six weeks.
Rinse From the Top Down
We rinse the roofline, siding, gutter faces, trim, and shutters, then rinse the landscaping and walkways again so nothing is left behind on the plants or concrete.

Our standard schedule is Monday through Friday. We make Saturday exceptions case by case, usually when a homeowner cannot be home during the week or another contractor left them stranded. Ask when you call and we will tell you straight whether we can fit it.
Yes. We pick up canceled and rescheduled jobs regularly. Send us the address and we can usually quote the house from Google Earth the same day, without an in person visit, then get you on the calendar.
High pressure can crack, streak, and force water behind vinyl siding. That is why we soft wash instead. A soft wash uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to kill algae and mildew at the root, so the siding rinses clean without getting cut into.
Most single family homes in Manteno take two to four hours. Larger homes, heavy algae growth, or added services like window cleaning and concrete washing can push it toward a full day.
Most Manteno house washes fall between $250 and $600 depending on square footage, stories, and how much growth is on the siding. Run your address through our power washing price estimator for a range, or call for an exact number.
No. We need water access and clear paths around the house. Plenty of our customers are at work while we wash. We send photos when we finish and you can pay after you see the results.
Every one to two years for most homes. Houses with mature trees, north facing walls, or sprinklers hitting the siding tend to grow algae faster and do better on a yearly wash.
