Residential pressure washing in Roswell, GA
Roswell is one of the older cities in north Fulton County, and its homes show it in a good way: tall pines and oaks over 1970s colonials in Martins Landing, golf-course lots in Horseshoe Bend, and the restored homes around the Historic District and Canton Street. All that canopy is also why Roswell siding turns green faster than almost anywhere else we work. Alexus Pressure Washing is a family-owned crew based in Cumming, a short run down GA-400 to the Holcomb Bridge Road exit, and we clean Roswell homes across ZIPs 30075 and 30076 with low-pressure soft washing for siding, surface cleaning for concrete and pavers, and wood-safe restoration for decks. Brick, hardiplank, painted wood, or vinyl, the method follows the material. House washing in Roswell starts at $249 and driveways at $99, with free estimates and nothing added to the invoice afterward. Call (470) 747-6669 and tell us what the shaded side of your house looks like right now.
Soft washing under the Roswell tree canopy
Shade is the defining fact of Roswell exteriors. The subdivisions that went in along the Chattahoochee in the 1970s and 1980s kept their hardwoods, and forty years later those trees throw deep shade across the north and east walls of nearly every house. Siding that never dries out grows algae, and the dark streaking you see on a Martins Landing colonial or a Horseshoe Bend two-story is a living film, not dirt. Blasting it with high pressure spreads the spores and chews the paint, which is why we soft wash instead. Our crew applies a low-pressure detergent blend that kills the growth at the root, lets it dwell, and rinses it off at roughly the force of a strong garden hose. That protects painted wood, mortar joints, hardiplank, and vinyl alike. Roswell house washing is priced by the square footage of the home: $249 for homes up to 1,500 square feet, $349 to 2,500, $449 to 3,500, and $599 for 3,500 to 5,000 square feet, with a $150 charge for three-story elevations. Brick and stone homes are quoted at $379 because the masonry gets a dedicated cleaner. The shrubs and perennial beds that ring most Roswell homes get a soaking before we start and a rinse when we finish. The full process is on our soft wash house washing page.
Historic District and Canton Street homes need a lighter hand
The blocks around the Roswell Historic District, Canton Street, Bulloch Hall, and the old mill on Vickery Creek hold some of the oldest houses in north Fulton, and a good number of them are painted wood or soft, older brick. These homes cannot be treated like a 2010 hardiplank build. Painted lap siding, wood trim, original porch columns, and single-pane window glazing all fail under a pressure wand, and old lime-mortar joints wash out if you lean on them. On a historic Roswell home we work almost entirely with detergent dwell time rather than pressure, keep the wand well back from glazing and trim, and rinse from the top down so loosened grime does not restreak the lower walls. We also check for peeling paint before we begin, because a soft wash will reveal failing paint rather than hide it, and most owners would rather know. Pre-painting prep is its own service at $349 and leaves the surface clean enough for a primer to bond. The in-town bungalows and cottages off Mimosa Boulevard and Atlanta Street tend to run small, so they often land in the $249 or $349 house washing tier. If you are unsure whether your older siding can be washed at all, send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before anyone shows up.
Martins Landing, Horseshoe Bend, Huntcliff, and the river subdivisions
East of GA-400 and down toward the river, Roswell's big established neighborhoods share a layout: hilly streets, wooded lots, and a back deck that looks out over trees. Martins Landing was built out in the 1970s and 1980s with colonials, split-levels, and ranches, Horseshoe Bend added golf-course homes through the 1980s, and Huntcliff and Rivermont round out the river side. The decks on these homes are the first thing to go. Pressure-treated pine that has been rained on for thirty years and shaded all summer turns gray, grows slick green patches on the stair treads, and holds mildew in every board gap. We clean wood decks with low pressure and a wood brightener so the grain lifts back toward its natural color without furring, which leaves the boards ready for stain or sealer. Small decks up to 200 square feet are $249 and larger multi-level decks are $349, railings and stairs included, with composite decking cleaned at $249. Privacy fences along these lots run $249 per side. Many of these subdivisions have swim and tennis HOAs that take exterior upkeep seriously, and a graying deck or dark siding is usually what prompts the first letter. Details are on the deck restoration page and the fence washing page.
Driveways, walkways, and red clay on sloped Roswell lots
Roswell lots are rarely flat, and a sloped driveway collects everything the hill above it sheds. Red Georgia clay washes down from bare spots under the trees and dries into an orange band along the low edge of the concrete. Oak leaves and acorns sit on the drive through the fall and leave brown tannin shadows. Older driveways here are often exposed aggregate or broom-finished concrete that has gone dark gray with embedded grime, and the newer replacements in Horseshoe Bend and the Historic District lean toward pavers and stamped concrete. We surface clean concrete with a rotary cleaner so the finish comes out even instead of striped, and we treat pavers with lower pressure so the joint sand stays where it belongs. Driveway cleaning is priced by size, from $99 for a one-car drive to $149 for two cars, $199 for three, and $249 for a four-car or long approach, with paver driveways and walkways at $249. Concrete patios and sidewalks are $149 per area and stone or brick patios $299. Red clay and iron stains from well-water sprinklers get an oxalic treatment at $129, since plain washing leaves the orange behind. The driveway cleaning page and the red clay stain removal page explain both methods.
Roof streaks and gutter stripes on the Willeo Road side
Out along Willeo Road, past the Chattahoochee Nature Center and the Riverwalk boardwalk over Bull Sluice Lake, the lots open up and the houses sit deep under hardwoods near the water. Humidity off the river and constant shade make this the part of Roswell where roofs streak black the fastest. Those streaks are Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that eats the limestone filler in asphalt shingles, and once it establishes it spreads downhill across the north slope of the roof every wet season. We soft wash roofs with a low-pressure algaecide application that kills it without disturbing the shingle granules, priced at $449 per home, and the shingles clear fully over a few weeks of rain. White aluminum gutters on these homes carry the matching problem: tiger striping, the vertical black lines where oxidation and runoff bond to the gutter face. Gutter whitening lifts those stripes with a dedicated cleaner, $149 as an add-on when we are already washing the house or $199 on its own. Pool decks on the larger Roswell properties are $279 and get cleaned with slip resistance in mind. See the roof soft washing page and the gutter whitening page for the chemistry on each.
Roswell pricing, bundles, and the right week to book
Every rate on this page comes from the same published list we use everywhere, so a Roswell quote is not a guess. The Complete Home Refresh bundles a soft wash, the driveway, and a deck for $599, which saves about $150 against booking the three separately, and the Curb Appeal package pairs a house wash with gutter whitening and the front walk from $349 for pre-listing photos. Homeowners who want to stay ahead of the shade can take the Annual Maintenance Plan at $899, which covers a yearly soft wash and driveway plus spring and fall touch-ups. Timing matters more in Roswell than in a sunnier suburb. The best windows are mid-April through May, after the oak and pine pollen has washed off and before summer humidity feeds the algae, and again from late September into November once the leaves start to drop and the decks dry out. We avoid the heaviest pollen weeks because a fresh wash will yellow again within days.

Can you wash a painted wood home in the Roswell Historic District without damaging it?
Yes, as long as the paint is sound. We clean older painted siding with detergent and dwell time instead of pressure, and we keep the wand away from glazing, trim, and old mortar. If paint is already peeling, washing will expose it rather than fix it, so we flag that during the estimate and can do pre-painting prep instead.
Which Roswell neighborhoods and ZIPs do you cover?
All of Roswell in ZIPs 30075 and 30076, including the Historic District and Canton Street area, Martins Landing, Horseshoe Bend, Huntcliff, Rivermont, the Willeo Road corridor along the Chattahoochee, and the subdivisions off Holcomb Bridge Road, Crossville Road, and Alpharetta Highway. We reach Roswell from Cumming by GA-400 and schedule most jobs within the week.
My deck in Martins Landing is gray and slick. Is it worth cleaning or should I replace it?
Gray and slick usually means weathered surface fibers and mildew, not rot. A low-pressure wash with brightener brings pressure-treated pine back to a clean tan in one visit and gets it ready for stain, which is a fraction of the cost of new boards. We check for soft spots and loose fasteners while we work and tell you if anything structural needs a carpenter.
How often does a shaded Roswell home need a wash?
Once a year keeps most Roswell homes clean. Houses deep in the canopy near the river or with a north wall that never sees sun often need a second visit, which is why we offer the Annual Maintenance Plan with spring and fall touch-ups. Roofs under heavy trees typically need a soft wash every two to three years.
