Professional House Washing in Marietta & Metro Area
Georgia's heat and humidity create the perfect conditions for mold, mildew, algae, and dirt to build up on your home. Over time, these growths make your house look old and neglected—even if it's only a few years old.
A professional house wash removes all that buildup and brings back your home's original beauty. Our team serves homeowners throughout Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, and the entire metro Atlanta area. Most homes take just a few hours to clean, and the results are amazing.
Why Wash Your House?
House washing isn't just about looks—though your home will definitely look better. There are several good reasons to have your house washed regularly.
Boost Your Curb Appeal
A clean house simply looks better. When your siding is free of dirt, mold, and stains, your whole property looks well-cared-for. Neighbors notice. Visitors notice. And you'll feel proud every time you pull into your driveway. For Atlanta homeowners, keeping up appearances matters—especially in neighborhoods where homes are close together.
Prevent Damage to Your Siding
Mold, mildew, and algae aren't just ugly—they can actually damage your home over time. These growths hold moisture against your siding, which can lead to rot on wood, staining on vinyl, and breakdown of paint. Regular house washing removes these harmful growths before they cause real problems.
Create a Healthier Home
Mold and mildew on your home's exterior can affect air quality around your house. Spores travel through open windows and doors. For families with allergies or breathing issues, reducing mold growth outside means less irritation inside. A clean exterior is part of a healthy home.
Prep for Painting or Staining
Planning to paint your house? New paint won't stick well to dirty, moldy surfaces. A thorough house wash is the first step in any exterior painting project. The cleaning removes contaminants so your new paint can bond properly and last longer. Skip this step, and your paint job may peel within a few years.
What We Clean During a House Wash
Our house wash covers every part of your home's exterior. We don't just spray and go—we make sure every surface gets the attention it needs. Here's what's included when you hire us for house washing in metro Atlanta:
What We Remove
Georgia's climate creates all kinds of buildup on homes. Our cleaning solutions and techniques tackle:
- Mold and mildew (the black and green staining you see)
- Algae growth common in shaded areas
- Pollen buildup from Georgia's intense spring seasons
- Dust and dirt from construction and traffic
- Cobwebs and wasp nests around windows and doors
- Bird droppings and pest residue
- Mud splatter from rain and irrigation
- Oxidation and chalking on vinyl siding
Our House Washing Process
We use a method called soft washing for most homes. Unlike traditional pressure washing that can damage siding, soft washing uses lower water pressure combined with special cleaning solutions that kill mold and algae at the source.
Inspection
We walk around your home to check the siding type, identify problem areas, and note anything that needs special care.
Pre-Treatment
We apply our cleaning solution to your siding. This breaks down mold, mildew, and dirt so it rinses away easily.
Soft Wash
Using low pressure, we wash every surface from bottom to top, then rinse from top to bottom for streak-free results.
Final Check
We inspect the entire house to make sure every spot is clean. We want you to be completely happy with the results.
Why Soft Washing Works Better
High-pressure washing can force water behind your siding, strip paint, and damage soft materials like wood and stucco. Soft washing avoids these problems while actually getting your house cleaner. The cleaning solution kills mold and algae roots, so your home stays cleaner longer than with pressure washing alone.
Types of Exteriors We Wash
Every siding material needs a different approach. Using the wrong method can cause serious damage. Our team knows exactly how to clean each type of exterior safely and effectively.
Vinyl Siding
The most common siding in metro Atlanta. We use soft washing to prevent warping and avoid forcing water behind the panels. Our solution removes oxidation and restores the original color.
Fiber Cement (Hardie Board)
This durable material needs gentle cleaning to protect the paint finish. We use low pressure and mild solutions to clean without affecting the factory or painted surface.
Wood Siding
Wood requires the most care. High pressure can splinter boards and strip stain. We use very low pressure and wood-safe cleaners to remove mold without damaging the surface.
Brick
Brick can handle more pressure than other materials. We adjust our approach to remove embedded dirt from the textured surface while protecting the mortar between bricks.
Stucco
Stucco is porous and can absorb too much water if cleaned incorrectly. We use soft washing to clean the surface without saturating the material or damaging the texture.
Aluminum Siding
Older homes often have aluminum siding that can dent easily. We use soft washing and take extra care around seams and edges to get great results without damage.
How Often to Wash Your House in Georgia
Living in metro Atlanta means dealing with humidity, heat, and lots of tree coverage. These conditions cause mold and algae to grow faster here than in drier climates. For most homes, we recommend a house wash every 12 to 18 months.
Some homes may need more frequent cleaning. You might need to wash your house every 6 to 12 months if you have:
- Heavy tree coverage that keeps siding shaded and damp
- North-facing walls that never get direct sun
- Areas near lakes, ponds, or other water sources
- Lots of landscaping close to the house
- Light-colored siding that shows dirt easily
Signs it's time for a house wash: You can see green or black staining on your siding. There are dark streaks running down from windows or trim. Cobwebs are building up around doors and windows. Your siding looks dull or faded compared to protected areas. If you notice any of these, give us a call at (404) 797-8115 for a free estimate.
Will House Washing Damage My Home?
This is a common concern, and it's a good one to have. The truth is, improper pressure washing can definitely cause damage. That's exactly why we use soft washing for most homes.
Our soft wash method uses about the same pressure as a garden hose. The cleaning power comes from our professional-grade solutions, not brute force. This means we can get your house sparkling clean without:
- Forcing water behind your siding
- Stripping paint from wood or Hardie board
- Damaging window seals or screens
- Denting aluminum siding
- Chipping stucco or mortar
- Splintering wood siding or trim
We also take precautions to protect your landscaping. Our cleaning solutions are plant-safe, and we rinse vegetation before and after cleaning. Your home and yard are in good hands with our experienced team.
