Restore the Look of Your Home's Exterior

Professional residential pressure washing services for homeowners in Lafayette, Louisiana.

You walk past your driveway every day, and eventually the grime stops being something you notice and starts being part of the background. In Lafayette, the combination of humidity and seasonal pollen leaves a layer of buildup on siding, driveways, and walkways that dulls the appearance of your home. When that layer gets thick enough, it affects how your property looks from the street and how you feel pulling into your driveway.

Residential pressure washing removes dirt, algae, mildew, and organic buildup from the exterior surfaces of your home using professional-grade equipment. Freedom Exterior Services adjusts the cleaning pressure based on what surface is being treated, so vinyl siding receives a different approach than concrete. This prevents damage while still lifting away the layers that have built up over months or years. The service is designed to restore curb appeal and help extend the life of your exterior materials by removing contaminants that can degrade surfaces over time.

If your home in Lafayette is starting to look worn even though the structure is sound, Freedom Exterior Services can walk the property with you and explain what can be cleaned and what results to expect.

What Happens During a Full Exterior Clean

The process begins with a walkthrough to identify which surfaces will be treated and what pressure settings are appropriate. In Lafayette, that often means addressing algae on north-facing siding, oil stains in the driveway, and dirt along walkways. Each surface is pre-treated if needed, then cleaned with equipment that delivers consistent pressure and coverage without gouging or streaking.

After the work is done, you will see a noticeable difference in color and texture. Siding that looked gray or green will return to its original tone. Concrete surfaces will lose the dark streaks and embedded grime. The overall appearance of your home will look maintained rather than neglected, and that difference is visible from the curb.

The service includes clearing debris from the work area and rinsing surrounding landscaping to remove any cleaning solution. It does not include interior cleaning, window washing, or repair of damaged materials. If the surface is cracked, peeling, or structurally compromised, pressure washing will clean it but not fix the underlying issue. The goal is to remove buildup and restore appearance where the material itself is still intact.

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Scheduling

Most people want to know what the service includes, how long it takes, and whether it will affect their landscaping or routine. These are the questions Freedom Exterior Services hears most often from homeowners in Lafayette.

What surfaces can be pressure washed safely?
You can safely pressure wash vinyl siding, brick, concrete driveways, walkways, and most types of exterior fencing. Delicate surfaces like painted wood or stucco may require a softer approach to avoid damage.
How long does a typical residential pressure washing take?
Most homes in Lafayette take between two and four hours depending on square footage and the number of surfaces being cleaned. Larger properties or those with heavy buildup may take longer.
Will pressure washing damage my plants or lawn?
Freedom Exterior Services pre-wets plants and rinses them after cleaning to dilute any cleaning solution. Most landscaping tolerates the process without issue as long as care is taken during application.
How often should I have my home pressure washed?
You should consider pressure washing once every one to two years depending on how quickly buildup accumulates. Homes with heavy shade or near wooded areas may need it more often.
What happens if it rains after the service?
Rain will not undo the cleaning once the surfaces have dried. The buildup has been removed, so water will simply run off as it should without redepositing dirt or algae.

If your home's exterior has lost its original color or you are preparing to list your property, Freedom Exterior Services can schedule a consultation to assess what needs attention. The team works with clear timelines and stays in contact throughout the process so you know when to expect the crew and what the property will look like when they finish.
