Washing
Safe, low-pressure soft washing that removes algae, mold, and mildew from siding, brick, and stucco — without causing damage. Serving Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Frankfort, New Lenox, Mokena, and beyond.
What We Do
Your Home Deserves a Safe, Deep Clean
Your home's exterior is under constant attack from Illinois weather — humidity in the summer, freezing temps in the winter, and everything in between. Over time, algae, mold, mildew, and oxidation build up on siding, brick, and stucco in ways that make your home look years older than it is.
Green Pro Services uses a professional soft wash process to safely remove all of it. Low pressure combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions kills organic growth at the root rather than just blasting it off the surface. The result lasts longer and never risks cracking siding, stripping paint, or forcing water behind your walls.
We serve homeowners across Kankakee County and Will County — whether you are in Kankakee, Bourbonnais, or Bradley, or over in Frankfort, New Lenox, or Mokena, you get the same professional service and the same satisfaction guarantee.
Why Soft Washing
Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing
This is the most important thing to understand before cleaning your home's exterior. Standard pressure washing uses high-PSI water to blast surfaces clean. That works great on concrete — but on siding, brick, and stucco it can crack panels, force water into wall cavities, and strip paint or caulking.
Soft washing uses a fraction of the pressure and lets the cleaning solution do the heavy lifting. It kills algae, mold, and mildew at the root — so the results last 4 to 6 times longer than pressure washing alone. Every major siding manufacturer recommends soft washing, and so do we.

- High PSI can crack vinyl siding
- Forces water behind panels
- Can strip paint and caulking
- Results last only weeks
- Voids some siding warranties
Soft Washing
- Low pressure, zero surface damage
- Kills mold and algae at the root
- Safe on all exterior surfaces
- Results last 1 to 2 years
- Manufacturer recommended

Common Questions
House Washing FAQ
Most single-family home soft washes run between $250 and $500 depending on the size of the home and how much organic growth is present. A 1,500 square foot ranch in Kankakee or Bradley typically lands in the $250 to $350 range. Larger two-story homes in Frankfort or New Lenox generally run $350 to $500. We provide free on-site estimates so you always know the price before we start.
Yes. Soft washing is safe for vinyl siding, aluminum siding, wood siding, T1-11, fiber cement (like HardiePlank), brick, stucco, and EIFS. It is also safe on painted surfaces. The low pressure means there is no risk of cracking panels, stripping paint, or forcing water behind the siding — which are the main risks with traditional pressure washing on a home's exterior.
Most single-family homes take between one and three hours. A smaller ranch in Kankakee or Bourbonnais can be done in under two hours. Larger two-story homes in Frankfort or New Lenox with more siding surface area or heavier algae growth may run closer to three hours. We always complete the job in a single visit.
Close all windows and doors, move patio furniture and potted plants away from the house, and let us know if there are any sensitive plants or flower beds along the foundation. That is all you need to do. We handle wetting down vegetation before and after the wash and will work around any obstacles on site.
Most homes in Kankakee County and Will County benefit from a soft wash every one to two years. Homes with heavy tree coverage, shade on the north side, or close proximity to standing water may need an annual cleaning. Common signs it is time: green or black streaks on siding, visible mildew around windows or eaves, a dull or gray appearance to previously bright siding, or you are preparing to paint or sell the home.
Yes. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are designed to be safe around plants when properly diluted and rinsed.
