Maintaining your home’s exterior isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s about protecting your investment, preventing costly repairs, and creating a healthier environment for your family. Yet even the most diligent homeowners tend to overlook a few key areas.

Here are five commonly forgotten places that need regular cleaning, why they matter, and how professional exterior cleaning can help.

1. Gutters & Downspouts

Gutters are out of sight, which means they’re usually out of mind—until there's a problem.

Why it matters:

• Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and damage fascia boards, siding, and even your home’s foundation.
• Excess weight from debris can cause gutters to sag or detach.
• Standing water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Walston Wash Works Solution:

We offer gutter cleaning and debris removal, plus optional soft-washing to remove stains and algae. Pairing this with roof cleaning is a popular add-on.

2. Driveways & Walkways

Concrete may look tough, but it soaks up dirt, mildew, oil, and organic growth over time.

Why it matters:

• Slippery mildew increases the risk of slips and falls—especially around shaded walkways.
• Oil stains and discoloration drag down overall curb appeal.
• Regular pressure washing extends the life of concrete surfaces.

Walston Wash Works Solution:

Our professional pressure washing restores bright, clean concrete. Many customers add on house washing during the same visit for a full exterior refresh.

3. Fences (Wood, Vinyl, and Metal)

Fences are large surface areas that take a beating from Texas heat, storms, and humidity.

Why it matters:

• Mold, algae, and UV exposure make fences deteriorate faster.
• Wood fences absorb moisture and warp if not properly cleaned and sealed.
• Clean fences dramatically improve overall curb appeal—especially for corner lots.

Walston Wash Works Solution:

We provide fence cleaning, brightening, and prep-washes for those planning to stain or repaint. Great add-on to any house wash.

4. Roofs (Especially Shingle Roofs)

Many homeowners never think about cleaning their roof—until black streaks or moss appear.

Why it matters:

• Algae and moss shorten roof life by deteriorating shingles over time.
• Dark streaks absorb heat, increasing cooling bills.
• A dirty roof negatively affects resale value and home inspection reports.

Walston Wash Works Solution:

Our soft-wash roof cleaning removes algae and stains safely—no high pressure—and restores the original color of your shingles.

5. Outdoor Living Areas (Patios, Pools, and Decks)

Texas families spend a lot of time outside, so these high-traffic areas collect grime quickly.

Why it matters:

• Algae-covered pool decks become extremely slippery.
• Dirt and mildew wear down sealants and finishes.
• Clean outdoor spaces create a better environment for entertaining.

Walston Wash Works Solution:

We clean concrete, pavers, wood decks, patios, and pool decks. Many homeowners book this service before holidays, parties, and summer gatherings.

Why Regular Exterior Cleaning Matters

Routine maintenance isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about protecting your property:

• Prevents costly repairs
• Extends the life of exterior surfaces
• Improves safety
• Boosts property value
• Keeps your home looking its best year-round

With Montgomery County’s humidity, pollen, and storm cycles, buildup happens fast. A professional cleaning schedule saves homeowners time, money, and stress.
