House Washing in New Baltimore, MI
After the fish flies, before the festival, or any time the bay has left its mark — we wash New Baltimore right.
Why New Baltimore Homes Need Their Own House Washing Approach
New Baltimore has a problem no other city on our list has: fish flies. Every June, mayflies come off Anchor Bay by the million, cover the sides of homes from the waterfront to Sunrise Pointe, and leave a brown, sticky residue when they die that ordinary rain will not wash away. Add the year-round bay humidity, and New Baltimore siding — whether it is 1960s brick and aluminum near the water or 2000s vinyl and fiber cement in Ashley Estates — needs a proper wash more than most.
Our house washing service treats all of it. The soft-wash solution dissolves fish fly residue and kills the algae and mildew underneath, and a low-pressure rinse takes it off without pushing water behind the siding. We are fifteen minutes from our Macomb Township shop, and late June through July — right after the flies and before Bay-Rama — is our busiest stretch in New Baltimore, so it pays to book early.
House Washing Challenges in New Baltimore
What we run into on New Baltimore homes, and how we handle each one.
Fish fly residue
When the June hatch dies off, the insects leave a protein film and staining on light-colored siding, especially on walls with exterior lights. It bonds harder the longer it sits. We break it down with the cleaning solution and rinse it clean; the earlier after the hatch, the easier it comes off.
Bay humidity in open subdivisions
Even the newer homes on open lots away from the water grow algae on the north side within a few years, because humidity from Anchor Bay hangs over the whole city. Killing the growth with a proper dwell time is what keeps a New Baltimore house clean for a full year.
Historic homes on Washington Street
The Washington Street Historic Area has older brick and painted homes near downtown that need the same gentle handling as any 1900s house: a masonry-safe mix on the brick, low pressure on the paint, and hand-rinsing on porches and trim.
Our House Washing Process in New Baltimore
We wash New Baltimore homes in the morning when the bay breeze is light and the siding is cool. After soaking the beds, the soft-wash solution is applied to the worst wall first — usually the north side or the wall with the porch light where the fish flies gathered — and given time to dissolve the residue and kill the growth. Everything is rinsed top-down at low pressure, including soffits, gutter faces, and the garage. Homes on the canals get a quick mineral rinse on the water side. We finish by rinsing the windows and the walkway so the house is ready for company.

New Baltimore house washes typically run $275 to $475. Cottages and ranches near the waterfront start at the low end; two-story homes in Sunrise Pointe and Ashley Estates with three-car garages price toward the top.
