Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning in Austin, TX

Austin is one of the most architecturally diverse cities in Texas. Within a few minutes of driving you can pass a turn-of-the-century craftsman in Hyde Park, a mid-century ranch in Allandale, a modern build in East Austin, and a sprawling hill-country contemporary out toward Westlake. Each of those building styles has different cleaning requirements. Limestone, hardiplank, stucco, brick, cedar, painted wood, and metal cladding all respond to different combinations of pressure and chemistry, and our crew is trained to read the surface and pick the right approach every time.

Pollen season is brutal in Austin. Cedar fever hits in winter and spring, followed by oak pollen and a near-constant film of grass and weed pollen through summer. Most homeowners notice the yellow film on their cars and patio furniture, but the same film coats siding, windows, decks, and porches. A single annual pressure wash and soft wash visit removes a year of pollen buildup, restores curb appeal, and gives you a clean baseline going into the next season.

Summer storms are the other major source of grime on Austin homes. Wind-driven rain pulls limestone and red clay dust off roads and construction sites and slams it into the windward elevations of your home. Lower walls often look noticeably dirtier than the rest of the house because of this splatter pattern. Soft washing solves that problem; we apply a low-pressure cleaning solution that releases the embedded dust and rinses cleanly off siding, brick, and stucco without forcing water behind the cladding.

Driveways and walkways in Austin take a beating from sun, oil, and tire marks. We use a commercial surface cleaner to deliver an even, stripe-free finish across concrete, exposed aggregate, and stamped surfaces. For neighborhoods with shaded lots (think Tarrytown, Northwest Hills, Travis Heights), algae and mildew on concrete are common, and we pre-treat with a sanitizer so the green growth does not come back within weeks.

Roof cleaning is a service many Austin homeowners overlook. Those black streaks on asphalt shingles are gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that literally eats the limestone filler in shingles. Left untreated it shortens the life of a roof by years. We soft wash roofs using the method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, which kills the bacteria at the root without pressure-washing the granules off the shingles.

We also handle the full residential menu for Austin homeowners: fence and deck cleaning to restore weathered cedar and pressure-treated pine, exterior window cleaning using pure-water pole systems for second and third story glass, patio and paver cleaning with optional polymeric sand re-sanding, and full house soft washing for any siding material. We will package the visit so you get the best price for a complete exterior refresh.

Commercial work in Austin is a growing part of our business. Restaurants on South Congress, retail on Burnet, medical offices in Mueller, churches in South Austin, and HOAs across the city rely on regular pressure washing to keep their entries clean and their slip-and-fall risk low. We work nights, early mornings, and weekends so your customers never see the cleaning happen. Recurring contracts are available with locked-in pricing and priority scheduling.

Austin neighborhoods we regularly service include Downtown, South Congress, Zilker, Barton Hills, Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, Hyde Park, Mueller, East Austin, Tarrytown, Allandale, Crestview, Circle C Ranch, Westlake, Rollingwood, Bee Cave, Steiner Ranch, Northwest Hills, Great Hills, Lakeway, Spicewood, and Onion Creek. If you are anywhere inside the Austin city limits or in one of the surrounding hill-country communities, we can be on site and quoting fast.

Pricing for Austin homes is flat-rate per property. We send a quote based on square footage, surfaces, and access, and we hit that price unless we discover something genuinely unexpected during the job. We carry general liability insurance, use professional commercial equipment, and stand behind every job. If you are not happy with a section of the work, we make it right before we collect.
