Power Washing in DeKalb County, GA
DeKalb has some of the oldest housing stock in metro Atlanta sitting right next to newer subdivisions, and that changes how a house should be washed.
Older homes in Decatur, Druid Hills and Kirkwood-area streets
Decatur and the older in-town DeKalb neighborhoods are full of bungalows, cottages and brick homes from the early and mid 1900s, under some of the heaviest tree canopy in the metro. What we see:
- Green algae on painted wood siding and trim on the shaded side
- Moss and mildew on brick steps, walkways and retaining walls
- Porches and porch floors dulled by pollen and leaf stains
Old painted wood and soft brick mortar can't take the same pressure as a concrete driveway. These homes get a gentler wash.
Dunwoody, Brookhaven and Tucker
Lots of 1970s and 1980s brick and siding homes with mature oaks. The driveways and back decks are usually what bothers owners most: dark, slick and stained from years of leaves.
East DeKalb and Stone Mountain
Around Stone Mountain, Lithonia and Stonecrest, many homes back up to woods or sit on slopes, so runoff carries red clay across driveways and walkways. Decks on wooded lots grow a green film quickly.
When to book
May, after pollen season, is the best time for a full wash. A fall wash is worth it before holiday guests or lights.
What we wash
- House siding: pollen film, mildew, algae streaks and red clay splash
- Driveways and walkways: clay stains, tire marks, mildew and leaf tannin spots
- Decks: green film, leaf stains and grime ground into the boards
