Serving Baker, LA and nearby towns
Mildew and algae are the main reason Louisiana 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.
Parts of Louisiana are exposed to hurricanes and tropical storms. After a storm, washing removes mud, debris and salt spray from siding, screens and walkways. Check for damage first: loose siding, broken screens and roof damage need repair before anyone washes them.
Near the coast, salt air leaves a film on siding, windows, screens and railings that dulls finishes and speeds up corrosion on metal. Regular rinsing and washing help protect them.
Spring pollen season in Louisiana 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.

Gutter Brightening: frequently asked questions
How much does gutter brightening cost in Baker, LA?
Gutter Brightening typically costs $150-$400 for a typical home, and usually takes 1-3 hours. The exact price depends on the size and condition, and you get it before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
Do you use high pressure for gutter brightening?
Gutter Brightening is done with hand cleaning with a gutter cleaner. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is gutter brightening 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 gutter brightening?
Every 1-2 years, often with a house wash. 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.
