Power Washing at a 2-story house in Buffalo Grove on Pauline Avenue. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
Vinyl siding on a two-story home picks up a season's worth of road dust, algae creep, and airborne grime before most homeowners notice how much has accumulated. This Buffalo Grove house was no exception — the kind of suburban two-story that sits among mature neighborhood streets and takes on a slow gray cast through the warmer months without any single dramatic event to blame.
Our crew arrived at 8:40 in the morning and worked methodically through the full exterior, running the pressure washer across every face of the vinyl siding from the foundation line up to the second-story fascia. The work moved in a consistent pass pattern, keeping the surface even and avoiding the streaking that comes from rushing transitions between elevations. Nothing was skipped — all four sides, top to bottom. We wrapped at 1:00 in the afternoon, leaving the siding clear of the film that had built up over time.

Common questions from Buffalo Grove homeowners researching Power Washing.
For a 2-story house in Buffalo Grove, this project came in at $400, which is typical for a full exterior wash in the area. Most single- and two-story homes in the Chicago suburbs run between $250 and $500 depending on square footage and surface condition. Heavily soiled siding or large square footage can push the price toward the higher end of that range.
A standard 2-story house exterior typically takes a crew two to four hours to complete from setup to rinse. Factors like heavy mildew buildup, detailed trim work, or hard-to-reach areas can add time to the job. Most homeowners can expect their driveway to be clear again the same day.
On a full house wash like this one, we cover all exterior siding surfaces, working from the roofline down to the foundation to push dirt and grime away cleanly. That includes walls, soffits, and fascia boards where accessible. We take care to protect windows, doors, and any landscaping near the work area during the process.
Yes — when done at the right pressure settings, power washing is safe for vinyl, painted wood, and fiber cement siding. We adjust the PSI based on the surface material to clean effectively without causing damage like cracking, chipping, or water intrusion behind panels. Soft-washing techniques with lower pressure are used on more delicate areas of the exterior. For a quote, call our Arlington Heights team at (847) 807-1454.
