5 Reasons to Power Wash Your Home This Summer in Middle TN

Written By Ray Bishop

Is your home looking a little dull or dirty?

Summers in Middle Tennessee are beautiful — but they’re also brutal on your home. Heat, humidity, red clay, mold, and storms all take a toll on your exterior.

Power washing is one of the fastest, most affordable ways to restore your home’s beauty, protect its surfaces, and keep it in top shape year-round. Here are 5 key reasons to schedule your wash now:

 

1. Remove Mold, Mildew & Algae Before They Do Real Damage

Black streaks on your roof? Green patches on your siding or sidewalk? That’s mold and algae — and it’s not just ugly. These organisms grow into the surfaces they cling to and slowly break them down.

If left untreated, mold and mildew can:

  • Eat away at your paint or siding

  • Cause wood rot

  • Create slippery, unsafe walkways

  • Lower your home's air quality

Power washing doesn’t just rinse it off — it blasts it away with the right pressure and cleaning solutions to kill growth at the root.

This siding and gutter were covered in mold and algae. One soft wash brought it back to life — clean, safe, and protected.

 

2. Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal Instantly

Want to make your house stand out? A proper power wash is like a full exterior makeover in just one day.

Here’s what it improves:

  • Siding looks brighter and newer

  • Driveways and walkways go from dull to clean

  • Roof stains disappear

  • Windows shine

Whether you're planning to sell, host guests, or just take pride in your property — your home will look fresh, clean, and well cared for.

This driveway was stained and dull. After one deep clean, it’s bright, spotless, and makes the whole property look brand new.

 

3. Avoid Expensive Repairs

Grime traps moisture, which leads to wood rot, concrete damage, and peeling paint.
Regular power washing can:

  • Extend the life of your siding, roof, and concrete

  • Prevent mold from getting under surfaces

  • Save you thousands on future repairs

4. Get a Clean Surface for Painting or Sealing

Planning to paint your house, stain a deck, or seal your driveway? Skipping the wash is a big mistake.
Power washing removes buildup so:

  • Paint sticks better

  • Stain lasts longer

  • You get a smooth, professional finish

This red siding was coated in grime that would ruin any paint job. A full wash cleared it up — now it’s prepped and ready for fresh paint or sealant.

 

5. Make Your Home Healthier

Algae, mold, and pollen can make their way into your outdoor spaces and even inside your home. Power washing clears it all out, which means:

  • Cleaner breathing air

  • Safer surfaces for kids and pets

  • A more comfortable outdoor area

This walkway was covered in grime and mildew — a slip hazard and a magnet for allergens. After washing, it’s safe, clean, and ready for everyday use.
