Pressure Washing in Livingston and the Lake Livingston Area
Driveways, sidewalks, siding, decks, fences and brick cleaned of dirt, mildew and algae.
Clean surfaces, East Texas style
Heat, humidity and shade are a recipe for mildew, algae and grime. Driveways turn dark, siding goes green on the north side, and decks and fences get slick. A thorough washing brings those surfaces back and makes it easier to see what needs repair.
Onalaska Builders provides pressure washing with our own crews.
We clean:
- Driveways and sidewalks
- Siding
- Decks and fences
- Brickwork
Surface by surface
Different surfaces need different care
More pressure is not always better. Each surface calls for the right approach:
- Concrete driveways and sidewalks hold up to higher pressure, which lifts ground-in dirt, mildew and staining.
- Siding needs a gentler touch. Too much pressure can force water behind siding or damage it.
- Wood decks and fences can be gouged or left fuzzy by too much pressure, so they are cleaned carefully.
- Brick and mortar need care around older or soft mortar joints.
Decks and fences
Washing before staining
If you are planning to restain or seal a deck, cleaning is the first step, and it needs to be done with the finish in mind so the wood dries properly and takes the stain evenly. That combined job is covered on our deck restoration page.
If the boards are loose, cracked or soft, see deck repair first.
Timing
When to pressure wash
- Before selling a home, when curb appeal matters most.
- Before painting or staining, so the new finish bonds to a clean surface.
- When surfaces get slick with mildew or algae, especially shaded walkways and decks.
- At the start of lake season, after a winter of pollen, leaves and grime.
- After pine pollen season, when everything turns yellow.
Washing also reveals problems such as soft wood, cracked concrete or loose siding. See rotten wood replacement and siding repair.
