Keeping your home or commercial property looking its best isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about protection and maintenance. One of the most effective ways to preserve the value of your property is through regular pressure washing. But how often should you schedule a cleaning?

At Walston Wash Works, we believe the answer depends on two things: the surface being cleaned and the time of year. Here's your go-to guide for how often you should pressure wash—season by season, surface by surface.

🏡 By Surface: Tailored Cleaning Recommendations

1. House Exterior (Siding, Stucco, Brick)

Recommended: Once per year
Your home’s siding collects dirt, pollen, mold, and mildew throughout the year. Annual pressure washing helps maintain curb appeal and prevent long-term damage. If you live in a high-humidity or wooded area, consider a bi-annual cleaning.

2. Driveways & Sidewalks

Recommended: 1–2 times per year
Concrete surfaces are magnets for oil stains, tire marks, and mildew. Cleaning them in the spring and fall ensures they stay bright, safe, and slip-resistant.

3. Decks, Patios & Fences

Recommended: Every 12–18 months
Wood and composite materials can be damaged by moisture and sun exposure. A regular soft wash helps prevent cracking, rot, and discoloration. If you host outdoor gatherings often, a pre-summer wash keeps things party-ready.

4. Roofs (Soft Washing)

Recommended: Every 2–3 years
Roofs should be cleaned with low-pressure methods to remove moss, algae, and black streaks without causing damage. Keeping your roof clean extends its lifespan and improves energy efficiency.

5. Gutters & Downspouts

Recommended: Twice a year (spring and fall)
Clogged gutters can lead to water damage and foundation issues. Pressure washing combined with manual debris removal keeps your system flowing freely.

🍂 By Season: Smart Scheduling Tips

• Spring: Ideal for washing away winter grime, mold, and mildew. Also a perfect time to prep for outdoor activities.
• Summer: Great for patios, decks, and outdoor entertainment areas. Be sure to schedule the wash earlier or later in the day to avoid heat damage.
• Fall: Post-summer cleanup for walkways, driveways, and siding. Also a key time to prep gutters and surfaces before winter.
• Winter: While less common, warm-weather days in Texas can be perfect for spot treatments or commercial maintenance.
