In Georgia’s climate, most homes need a professional wash at least once a year, while properties near trees or in heavy shade may need it twice. Heat and humidity encourage algae, mildew, and green growth, especially on siding and trim. If this buildup is left unchecked, it traps moisture, weakens the protective paint film, and causes fading, peeling, or chalking far earlier than expected. Pressure washing works well for durable surfaces like driveways and patios, while soft washing is safer for siding, stucco, and roofing shingles. Windows need careful treatment too. Double pane windows with weak seals can fog if high pressure is misused, which is why trained professionals rinse them gently.
Keeping up with this routine maintenance extends the life of your exterior paint. We pair seasonal washing with premium coatings like Benjamin Moore Regal Exterior, which offers mildew resistance and color retention, and Sherwin Williams Latitude, which is formulated to handle extreme humidity, rain, and heat swings. Together, proper washing and premium paint protect your home, lower long-term maintenance costs, and keep your curb appeal strong year after year.
