How Often Should You Wash Your Home in Louisiana?
Southeast Louisiana's humidity accelerates mildew growth. Here's the ideal exterior cleaning schedule for our climate.
The Louisiana Factor
Humidity, tree canopy and warm winters combine to make Southeast Louisiana one of the fastest mildew-growth regions in the country. Homes that would stay clean for 3 years in Arizona need annual attention here.
Recommended Cadence by Surface
House exterior (siding, brick, stucco): every 12–18 months
Roof: every 2–3 years
Driveway and concrete: annually
Fence: every 12 months, or before staining
Deck: annually, plus refinish every 2–3 years
Signs You're Overdue
Green film on north-facing walls, black streaks on the roof, chalky vinyl siding, dark lines on the gutters and slippery green concrete are all signs your home needs a professional wash.
