How often should you pressure wash your house in Austin?

If you live in the Austin area, your home's exterior takes a beating year-round, cedar pollen in the spring, relentless summer sun, and enough humidity to grow algae and mildew on north-facing walls. The good news is that a regular cleaning schedule keeps your home looking its best and protects the surfaces underneath.

For most homes, a full exterior house wash once a year is the sweet spot. Homes with heavy tree cover, north-facing walls, or nearby sprinklers may need it more often because they hold moisture longer and grow algae faster.

Driveways, sidewalks and patios are more about how they look and how slippery they get. We recommend cleaning concrete whenever oil stains, mildew or a green tint start to show, usually every 1 to 2 years, sometimes sooner for shaded areas.

Roofs are the one people forget. Those black streaks are living algae that shortens the life of your shingles. A gentle, low-pressure roof cleaning every 2 to 3 years removes the growth safely and helps your roof last.
