Mold buildup on vinyl siding in Indiana home

How Often Should You Pressure Wash Your Indiana Home?

If you’ve ever noticed your siding looking dingy, your driveway turning dark, or your gutters streaked with grime—you’re not alone. Indiana homeowners deal with all four seasons (and all their messy side effects), which makes pressure washing a key part of home maintenance.

How often should you pressure wash your house in Indiana?

Let’s walk through what influences that answer, how often different surfaces need cleaning, and why scheduling strategically around Indiana’s climate can save you time and money.

For most Indiana homes, once a year is ideal. But it’s not the same for everyone.

What determines your schedule?

  • Your home’s siding material (vinyl, brick, wood)

  • Shaded or tree-covered areas

  • Proximity to pollen-heavy trees or high-traffic roads

  • Water drainage and gutter maintenance

  • Whether you’ve had mold or mildew issues in the past

 If you’re in areas like Fishers, Carmel, or Greenwood, you’re more likely to need annual or semi-annual house washing, especially if you have mature trees or shaded siding.

Siding: Clean Annually for Long-Term Protection

Vinyl siding can last decades, but only if it’s cared for. When left unwashed, algae, mildew, and bacteria take hold, eating away at the surface and leading to permanent stains.

Our soft washing process safely removes:

  • Green and black algae

  • Mold and mildew

  • Pollen and dust buildup

  • Bug nests and cobwebs

Driveways & Concrete: Every 12–18 Months

Concrete is porous. That means dirt, oil, salt, and algae can sink in—causing dark stains and slippery surfaces. Whether it’s your driveway, patio, or sidewalk, these areas benefit from regular power washing at least once every 12–18 months.

This also keeps surfaces safe to walk on and helps prepare concrete for sealing.

Gutters: Spring and Fall Cleanings are Non-Negotiable

Clogged gutters don’t just overflow. They also cause water to run down your siding, which leads to mold growth, rot, and even foundation damage.

We recommend cleaning your gutters:

  • Once in spring to remove winter buildup

  • Again in fall to clear leaves and debris

Windows: Twice a Year for the Best Results

Clean windows improve your home’s look from the inside and out. For most homes, spring and fall window cleanings work best, especially when paired with a full house wash.

What Happens If You Skip Pressure Washing?

Delaying your cleaning service doesn’t just hurt your curb appeal. It opens the door to …

  • Mold damaging your siding

  • Concrete becoming slick or stained

  • Gutters overflowing and damaging your foundation

  • Higher repair or replacement costs down the road

Preventative cleaning is less expensive than major home repairs.

Best Time of Year to Pressure Wash in Indiana

We recommend:

  • Late Spring (April–June): After pollen season and before summer humidity

  • Early Fall (September–October): After summer storms and before winter hits

Cold temperatures in winter make pressure washing unsafe. Spring and fall deliver the best, longest-lasting results.
