Our Mission

Built on Faith. Driven by Stewardship.

Heritage Home Services was founded on more than a business plan. It was founded on a conviction: that the work we do, caring for homes, clearing property, restoring what's been neglected, is a form of service. A way of honoring the things people have been entrusted with.

Stewardship is at the heart of everything Heritage does. Property is something to be cared for, protected, and passed on. When we show up on time, do what we said we'd do, and leave a property better than we found it, that's not just good business. That's integrity in practice.

We serve Coeur d'Alene and North Idaho because this is our community. These are our neighbors. Heritage exists to do right by them: with honest work, fair pricing, and a standard of care rooted in values that matter, faith, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the people and places we serve.

Know the Difference

Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing: The Difference That Protects Your Property

Not every surface should be treated the same way. Using the wrong method can damage surfaces that took years to build and cost thousands to replace.

Soft washing delivers cleaning solution at low pressure: typically under 500 PSI: and lets the chemistry do the work. It kills biological growth at the root rather than blasting it off the surface. Pressure washing operates at high PSI and is ideal for hard surfaces like concrete and pavers that can handle the force. The two methods are not interchangeable, and using the wrong one on the wrong surface causes damage that doesn't show up immediately.

Soft Washing Pressure Washing
Pressure Under 500 PSI 1,500–4,000+ PSI
Method Chemistry-based Water force
Best for Roofs, siding, paint, wood Concrete, pavers, brick
Results last 12–24 months typically Until resoiling
Safe on roofs? ✓ Yes: the correct method ✗ No: can cause damage

If someone is pressure washing your roof, they are shortening its life. Soft washing is the only method generally recommended by roofing manufacturers: high pressure typically strips shingle granules and can void warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions

We also serve Spirit Lake (83869), Athol (83801), Sandpoint (83864), and surrounding communities in Bonner County. Out-of-state property owners are welcome: we handle all coordination and provide before/after photo documentation when the job is complete.

Soft washing uses low pressure (generally under 500 PSI) and a professional cleaning solution to kill algae, moss, lichen, and mildew at the root. The chemistry does the work: the water rinses it away. It's the appropriate method for roofs, siding, painted surfaces, wood, and any surface where biological growth has accumulated.

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (typically 1,500–4,000+ PSI) to remove debris from hard surfaces that can handle the force: concrete, pavers, brick, and hardscape. The two methods are not interchangeable. Using high-pressure water on a roof, for example, typically strips shingle granules and can void manufacturer warranties.

Yes. ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) specifically recommends low-pressure soft washing as the approved method for cleaning asphalt shingle roofs. Pressure washing strips shingle granules, voids manufacturer warranties, and can compromise your homeowner's insurance policy if roof damage results from an improper cleaning method. Heritage follows ARMA-approved methods on every roof job — protecting your warranty, your insurance coverage, and your roof.

For siding: whether vinyl, wood, fiber cement, stucco, or brick: soft washing is the safe approach. Pressure washing on these surfaces can force water behind panels, damage finishes, and cause long-term moisture problems.

Yes. Heritage Home Services holds Idaho General Contractor License #3481216 and carries full general liability insurance. Proof of license and insurance is available upon request before any work begins.

Yes, and this is one of the segments Heritage serves regularly across Coeur d'Alene and Kootenai County. Heritage provides priority scheduling, full exterior revitalization services, before/after photo documentation for listing marketing, and flexible invoicing for real estate professionals.

For property managers, Heritage handles exterior washing between tenants, roof and siding maintenance, and scheduled exterior upkeep with full photo documentation for property records. Contact Heritage directly to discuss establishing an ongoing partnership.

Yes: pre-listing preparation is one of the most common jobs Heritage performs. A complete exterior revitalization before listing photos can meaningfully change how a property presents. Heritage handles roof and siding washing, driveway and patio pressure washing, and fence washing: all timed around your listing schedule.

For realtors and sellers on a tight timeline, Heritage offers 24–48 hour scheduling and same-day before/after documentation to support your listing marketing.

Yes: before and after photos are standard on every Heritage job, at no additional charge. Documentation is particularly important for pre-listing preparation and rental property maintenance, where the before/after record may be needed for real estate or insurance purposes. Out-of-state property owners receive documentation directly so they have a complete record without needing to be on-site.

Yes. Heritage offers two structured maintenance programs: a Residential Annual Program (two scheduled visits per year: spring exterior wash and fall cleanup) and a Commercial Maintenance Program (monthly or quarterly exterior maintenance for businesses). Contact Heritage to discuss which program fits your property and schedule.

Fill out the estimate request form on this page, call 208-877-4785, or text us. Heritage will follow up to schedule a free on-site assessment. We come to your property, walk the scope with you, and provide a written estimate before any work begins. Including photos when you reach out helps us estimate faster and more accurately.

If the scope of work changes after we begin: for any reason: Heritage communicates with you before continuing, not on the invoice. We provide a written estimate before work starts, and any material change to that scope gets a conversation first. This is one of the core commitments Heritage makes to every client in Coeur d'Alene and across North Idaho.
