Professional exterior cleaning for properties going on the market. Willow Wash serves San Jose, Silicon Valley, and the greater Bay Area — helping homes photograph better, show better, and sell faster.
Buyers form their first impression the moment they pull up — before they step inside, before the open house, before the offer. Stained driveways, algae-streaked siding, and grimy windows signal neglect, and buyers negotiate accordingly.
On the listing side, dirty exteriors show flat in photos. In the Bay Area's competitive market, where buyers preview dozens of listings online before visiting a single home, that first photo is the difference between a showing and a scroll-past.
The fix is straightforward. Willow Wash handles the full exterior so your listing looks the part — from the street, in a photo, and in person on showing day.
Dirty windows cut natural light and algae-covered siding photographs flat — giving buyers a reason to skip the showing entirely before they've seen the interior.
Appraisers factor condition into valuations. A clean, well-maintained exterior supports your list price — a neglected one invites downward adjustments before close.
Stained driveways, dirty rooflines, and cloudy windows give buyers leverage to push price down or request repair credits at close.
Most agents schedule photographers 1–2 days after prep. We work around your timeline and offer same-week availability for active listings throughout the Bay Area.
We handle the full exterior so you don't have to coordinate multiple vendors on a tight listing timeline. One call, one crew, one invoice.
Soft wash process removes mold, algae, oxidation, and grime from siding, stucco, and painted surfaces — without pressure damage. The safest method for Bay Area homes.
Interior and exterior glass, screens, sills, and tracks. Clean windows let natural light do its job during showings — and photograph dramatically better in listing photos.
Driveways, walkways, patios, and fences restored to a clean baseline. Buyers notice the approach before anything else — and so do appraisers doing their walkthrough.
Safe, low-pressure treatment that eliminates black streaks, moss, and lichen from tile, shingle, and metal roofs — protecting the roof and supporting the sales price.
Full debris removal and downspout flushing. Clear gutters signal a maintained home to buyers and inspectors — and prevent last-minute inspection flags from derailing a deal.
Every listing is different. We build a scope that fits your timeline, budget, and what the property actually needs — no one-size-fits-all pricing or unnecessary upsells.
Whether you're the homeowner getting ready to sell or the agent managing the listing, Willow Wash fits your workflow.
You've invested years into your home. Don't leave money on the table by showing a dirty exterior. We get you photo-ready fast, on a timeline that fits your closing date.
Your reputation depends on how listings show. Partner with a cleaning crew that communicates clearly, shows up on time, and delivers results that make your photos pop.
Real estate professionals and buyers consistently rank curb appeal among the top factors in purchase decisions. A home that shows clean on the outside commands more attention, more showings, and more competitive offers.
The Bay Area is one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country. At these price points, the cost of a professional exterior clean is recovered many times over in buyer confidence, appraisal support, and faster time on market.

If you manage multiple listings across the Bay Area, we offer priority scheduling and volume pricing for agents who refer Willow Wash to their clients. We handle the coordination, you get a listing that shows exactly the way it should.
Ideally 1–2 days before your listing photographer arrives. This gives surfaces time to fully dry and eliminates any streaking that can appear immediately after cleaning. If you're on a tight timeline, we can often complete the work the same morning as afternoon photos. Call us directly for rush scheduling — we understand listing timelines don't have flexibility built in.
Not with the right method — and that's exactly why we assess each surface before we start. Painted siding, stucco, and wood all require soft wash at low pressure with appropriate cleaning chemistry. High-pressure washing is reserved for concrete driveways and pavers only. We've cleaned hundreds of Bay Area homes without damaging a surface by using the wrong technique.
For a typical Bay Area single-family home, a full exterior prep — house washing, window cleaning, and driveway pressure washing — takes 3–5 hours. Adding gutter cleaning or roof washing extends that by 1–2 hours depending on the home. We provide accurate time estimates with your quote so you can plan around photographer and showing schedules.
Both. Many of our pre-listing jobs are referred by agents who want a reliable vendor they can send to any listing. We're happy to coordinate directly with the homeowner on the agent's behalf, work within listing timelines, and invoice the party that makes sense for your transaction. Agents who send us multiple listings can discuss priority scheduling and volume pricing.
Single-service bookings are completely fine. Some listings only need a driveway cleaned or windows done. That said, most pre-listing clients find that bundling 2–3 services — house washing, windows, and driveway — gives the biggest visual impact for the price and can be completed in a single visit so you're not scheduling multiple crews.
We serve 36+ cities across the South Bay, East Bay, Peninsula, and surrounding areas — including San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cupertino, Milpitas, Fremont, Hayward, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Campbell, Pleasanton, and more. If your listing is in the Bay Area, call us to confirm availability.
Willow Wash LLC provides professional real estate prep cleaning throughout the San Jose metro, Silicon Valley, and the greater Bay Area. Whether you're listing a single-family home in Willow Glen, a condo in Sunnyvale, or a multi-unit property in Fremont, our team delivers exterior results that make listings photograph better and sell faster.
Our pre-listing exterior cleaning services include soft wash house washing, professional window cleaning, high-pressure driveway and walkway cleaning, roof washing, and gutter cleaning. We tailor every scope to the property — because a 1950s ranch in Campbell has different needs than a newer build in Evergreen or a stucco home in Almaden Valley.
Bay Area real estate moves fast. Listings go live within days of a decision, and exterior appearance is often an afterthought until it becomes a problem. Willow Wash is built for that timeline. We maintain availability for active listings and can often complete work within 24 to 48 hours of booking — so you never delay a photographer because the exterior isn't ready.
We regularly serve homeowners, real estate agents, and property managers across San Jose, Santa Clara, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Fremont, Milpitas, Hayward, and surrounding cities. If your listing is in the Bay Area, we can be there.
