House Washing FAQ for New Orleans Homeowners

How often should New Orleans homeowners get house washing?
Given New Orleans's year-round heat and humidity — avg high 91°f in summer with extreme dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from house washing at least once a year. Year-round termite treatment and monitoring (Formosan threat is severe) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New Orleans most need house washing?
Shotgun houses and Creole cottages (architectural signatures of New Orleans) and Double shotguns converted to single-family are the most common home types in New Orleans and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high water pressure to mechanically remove surface dirt. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with professional cleaning solutions that kill and remove biological growth — algae, mold, mildew — at the root for longer-lasting results.
Is soft washing safe for painted siding?
Yes. Soft washing is actually recommended for painted surfaces because high pressure can chip, peel, or damage paint. Our solutions are formulated to clean without harming exterior finishes.
How long will house washing results last?
In most climates, professional soft washing keeps exterior surfaces clean for 2–4 years. Homes in very humid environments or under heavy tree cover may need cleaning every 1–2 years.
