The Ultimate Guide to Keeping Your Home’s Exterior Spotless
Taking care of your biggest investment!
Your home is more than just a place to live—it's an investment and a reflection of you. Over time, weather, dust, pollen, and mildew can build up on siding, walkways, and driveways. If you’ve ever looked at your house and thought, “Was it always that dull?”—this guide is for you.
Why Exterior Cleaning Matters
Boosts Curb Appeal: A clean exterior instantly makes your home look newer and well cared for.
Protects Your Surfaces: Dirt and mildew can cause long-term damage to siding, brick, concrete, and decks.
Healthier Environment: Mold, algae, and pollen build-up can affect air quality and cause allergies.
What to Clean & How Often
Area | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Siding | 1x per year | Especially in shaded or damp areas. |
Driveway/Sidewalks | 1-2x Per year | Clean more often with heavy foot traffic or vehicles |
Decks & Patios | 1x Per Year | Treat and seal after washing for longevity. |
Gutters | 2x per year | Spring and Fall Recommended. |
DIY vs. Professional Service
DIY: Great for small jobs if you have the right equipment.
Professional: Ideal for large surfaces, hard-to-reach areas, and heavily soiled spots. We also use eco-friendly cleaning agents and proper PSI settings to avoid surface damage.
Pro Tip 💡
Schedule pressure washing before you paint or stain your house or deck. It preps the surface and helps the finish last longer.
