How Often Should You Power Wash Your Home?

Power washing isn't just about curb appeal — it removes the mold, mildew, and grime that can quietly damage your home's exterior over time.

Once a year is the rule of thumb

For most homes in our region, an annual power washing keeps siding, decks, walkways, and driveways looking clean and prevents buildup from taking hold. Homes surrounded by trees or in shaded, damp areas may benefit from twice a year.

Always wash before painting

If you're planning to paint or stain any exterior surface, a thorough power wash is essential first. Paint simply won't bond to a dirty surface, so washing is the foundation of a long-lasting finish.
