The secret to stucco cleaning is using the right method, not the most pressure. In Chuckey, TN, we match the cleaner and pressure to the surface so it comes out clean without damage.

Stucco Cleaning in Chuckey, TN
Mildew and algae are the main reason Tennessee homeowners wash their siding. Shaded walls can turn green within months, and pressure alone doesn't kill the growth, so we use a soft wash solution that does.
Spring pollen season in Tennessee coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.
Red clay soil is common in parts of Tennessee. Rain splashes it onto the bottom of the siding, walls and walkways, and its iron-rich color can stain light surfaces. It usually needs a dedicated clay or rust cleaner rather than pressure alone.

Do you use high pressure for stucco cleaning?
Stucco Cleaning is done with soft wash. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is stucco cleaning safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule stucco cleaning?
Every 1-2 years. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
