Keeping your home’s exterior clean is about more than curb appeal—it’s also about protecting your property. Dirt, mold, mildew, and algae build up over time, wearing down paint, siding, and other surfaces. Power washing is one of the most effective ways to maintain your home, but how often should you do it?
General Power Washing Guidelines
Most homes benefit from power washing once a year, but the ideal frequency depends on your environment. Homes in areas with heavy rain, humidity, or lots of trees may need cleaning twice a year to prevent mold and mildew. Learn more about our power washing services.
Seasonal Considerations
- Spring: The perfect time to remove winter grime, salt, and debris.
- Summer: Great for keeping decks, patios, and driveways clean before outdoor gatherings.
- Fall: Power washing clears away leaves and organic buildup that can stain siding.
- Winter Prep: In some climates, a late-fall wash protects against snow, ice, and salt damage.
Benefits of Regular Power Washing
Routine power washing extends the life of your siding, roofing, and paint by removing contaminants that cause deterioration. It also enhances curb appeal, which is especially important if you plan to sell your home.
