House Washing in West Lake Hills, TX
House Washing in West Lake Hills, TX with a low-pressure method matched to every surface, from our shop on Pond Springs Road. Free quotes, Monday to Saturday.
House Washing for West Lake Hills Homes
West Lake Hills, the small hillside city locals call Westlake, grew quickly in the 1970s and 1980s. Many of its 1,370 homes have now spent decades in Central Texas heat and humidity, and that time shows up on siding, stone, roofs and concrete.
Siding rarely gets dirty all at once. It happens a little at a time: sprinkler spray leaves chalky spots near the ground, gutters drip dark lines down the corners, and the shady side of the house slowly turns a dull green. Homeowners in West Lake Hills usually call us when the front of the house stops matching the picture in their heads. Our house washing uses a soft wash approach. That means a cleaning mix applied at low pressure, time for it to loosen the grime, and a careful rinse from the roofline down. No blasting, no water pushed behind panels, no stripped paint. Our crew works out of a shop on Pond Springs Road, and we treat your beds and shrubs like they belong to us. Want to see your home clean again? Call (512) 662-8422 and ask for a free quote.

Surfaces We Clean on a Typical House Wash
Lower Walls and Foundation Lines
The bottom few feet of any wall take a beating. Rain splashes soil up onto the siding, and sprinklers leave white mineral spots behind. We treat this band on every side of the home so it matches the upper walls, and we keep the rinse angled away from the slab and the weep screed along the base of any stucco.
Gutter Faces and Downspouts
The outside face of a gutter often shows black tiger stripes where water spills over the edge. Downspouts pick up the same streaks along their seams. We clean the exterior of both as part of the wash so they no longer frame the house in dark lines. Clearing debris from inside the gutters is a separate service you can add to the same visit.
Porch Ceilings and Overhangs
Covered patios and porch ceilings trap moisture and attract insects, so they tend to gather mildew spots, cobwebs and mud dauber nests. We wash them from below with a gentle spray, taking care around ceiling fans, light fixtures and outlets, then rinse the walls and floor beneath so nothing drips onto a freshly cleaned surface later.
Stucco, Brick and Stone Accents
Masonry and stucco are porous, so they hold onto algae and dust deeper than smooth siding does. High pressure can chip texture, erode mortar joints and drive water into cracks. Soft washing lets the solution reach into the pores and lift the growth out, then a low rinse carries it away while the texture and joints stay intact.
5 Common Siding Problems We Clean in West Lake Hills
Before we quote a job, we look closely at what is on the walls, because algae, pollen and mineral spots do not all respond the same way. The list below covers the usual suspects on local homes. On the hillsides of West Lake Hills, runoff tends to follow the same paths across walls and walkways storm after storm, so stains build in lines rather than evenly.
Dull, Dusty Siding
Dry spells, nearby construction and road traffic send fine dust onto every wall. Over months it builds into a gray layer that flattens the color of the house. Rinsing with plain water tends to smear it around. Our cleaning mix loosens it so the rinse can carry it off cleanly.
Algae Behind Landscaping
Shrubs, vines and flower beds planted close to the house hold moisture against the walls and block airflow. That is prime ground for algae. We wet down the plants, treat the wall behind them with low pressure, and rinse the foliage afterward so it stays healthy.
Mildew on Soffits and Trim
Mildew shows up as small gray or black spots, usually on the underside of eaves and on trim boards that never dry fully. It can look like plain dirt, but it keeps growing if left alone. Soft washing reaches these areas and treats them without flooding the attic vents.
Chalky Sprinkler Spots
Irrigation water in this region is often hard, and when it hits the lower walls over and over, the minerals dry into white or tan spots. They are stubborn. We treat them as part of the wash and will tell you honestly if old spotting has etched into the finish.
Faded Look From Mixed Grime
Sometimes there is no single stain, just a tired, gray tone across the whole house from pollen, dust and light growth layered together. It is easy to mistake for faded paint. A full wash often reveals that the color underneath is still bright and simply needed cleaning.

Low Pressure Where It Belongs
Paint, siding, shingles and soft stone are cleaned with a soft wash: low pressure and a cleaning solution that breaks down the growth, so the surface comes clean without being worn down. Concrete gets surface cleaning equipment instead.

How Our House Washing Process Works
Our method is simple on purpose: understand the surfaces, protect what is around them, clean gently, and check the finish. The five steps below show how that plays out at your home.
1. Walkthrough and Surface Check
We start by walking around the house, with you or on our own if you are away. We note each material, from siding to stone, and identify what is actually causing the discoloration, whether that is pollen film, algae, mildew or runoff. That tells us which mix and dwell time to use.
2. Protecting Plants and Outdoor Areas
Before any solution goes on, we wet down beds, shrubs and grass, move light patio items out of the way, and note outlets, vents and fixtures. Keeping the landscaping hydrated and shielded is part of every job, not an extra, and it keeps the work area controlled.
3. Even, Gentle Coverage
The wash solution goes on through a low pressure line, wall by wall, with a soft spray far gentler than a pressure washer. Coverage matters more than force here. A consistent coat across siding, trim and eaves is what makes the house dry to one color instead of showing patches.
4. Let the Solution Work
Instead of scrubbing or blasting, we give the treatment time to dissolve algae, mildew and grime. On hot days we manage this closely so nothing dries on the surface too soon. Shaded walls with heavier growth may get a second application if the first one has not fully released it.
5. Top Down Rinse and Inspection
Clean water flushes everything from the highest point down to the ground, keeping pressure low near seams, windows and vents. Our crew then walks the full exterior once the walls are drying and checks for streaks or missed corners. We touch those up on the spot so you are left with an even finish.
House Washing Pricing in West Lake Hills
We do not post a one size price for house washing, because no two homes in West Lake Hills need exactly the same work. Instead, we give you a free quote after we see the house, either on site or through photos you share with us. A few things shape that number. Square footage and the number of stories set the baseline. Surface type comes next, since limestone, stucco and older painted siding call for more care. The amount of algae, mildew or streaking changes how long the treatment needs. Finally, access counts: fences, narrow walkways, pools and thick plantings near the walls all affect setup. If there are other surfaces you want cleaned, like a patio, roof or deck, we can include them in the same visit. Reach us at (512) 662-8422.

Serving West Lake Hills From Our Pond Springs Road Shop
West Lake Hills was founded by Emmett Shelton and incorporated in 1953, and the Emmett Shelton Bridge that links it with Austin still carries his name. The community developed rapidly in the 1970s and 1980s, especially on the south side of the Colorado River. It has stayed compact: 3.7 square miles of land, 3,444 residents and 1,370 housing units at the 2020 census.
For exterior cleaning, the age of a home matters. A house that has stood for forty years has been through forty rounds of pollen season, humid summers and rainy stretches, and growth works into textured siding, porous stone and older concrete a little more each year. The right approach is to match the method to the material rather than to turn up the pressure.
Our crews come out from our shop at 13200 Pond Springs Rd, about 11 miles from West Lake Hills as the crow flies, and we plan each visit around the property in front of us: where the water will run, which plants sit close to the walls, and which surfaces need a soft wash.
We serve West Lake Hills along with the other communities on our service areas page, all from the same crew that handles pressure washing in Austin.
