Yes - same-day residential pressure washing is available for homeowners who call before noon, subject to availability. Same-day service is especially popular for last-minute curb appeal needs, pre-listing photos, surprise guests, and HOA notice deadlines.

Absolutely. Alexus Pressure Washing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation to protect both our crew and your Atlanta home. Proof of insurance is available upon request.

Most Atlanta homes benefit from a full soft wash once a year, with driveways and walkways cleaned annually as well. Homes with heavy tree coverage, north-facing siding that grows algae quickly, or heavy oak pollen exposure may want service every 8-10 months. Pool decks often need attention twice yearly to stay slip-free.

Not when done properly. For vinyl, stucco, hardiplank, and painted wood siding, we use soft washing - low-pressure cleaning paired with eco-friendly detergents that lift dirt, kill algae, and rinse away without forcing water behind your siding. Brick can handle slightly higher pressure but still benefits from soft wash techniques. Our crew adjusts pressure and chemistry for each material.

Your siding needs soft wash. Soft washing uses gentle pressure with cleaning detergents that do the work - it's the safe, manufacturer-recommended approach for vinyl, hardiplank, stucco, and painted surfaces. Pressure washing (higher PSI) is for concrete driveways, walkways, patios, and pool decks. Most Atlanta homes get both - soft wash on the house, pressure wash on the flatwork.

Yes, in most cases. Red Georgia clay leaves iron-rich stains that need specific treatment - we use oxalic-based cleaners that dissolve the rust-colored minerals without damaging concrete or pavers. Fresh clay stains come out easily; years-old stains may need multiple passes. We'll give you honest expectations after seeing the surface.

We pre-wet every plant, shrub, and flower bed near the work area before applying any detergent. The water dilutes any runoff that hits the leaves and roots. During cleaning, we direct runoff away from sensitive plants. When we finish, we rinse everything thoroughly - shrubs, mulch beds, and grass - so no detergent residue is left behind. Our crew has cleaned thousands of Atlanta homes without harming a single hydrangea.

Yes. We use biodegradable, plant-safe detergents that are safe for landscaping, pets, and people. Our soft wash blends rely on sodium hypochlorite (the same active ingredient in household bleach) at controlled dilutions, paired with surfactants - the industry-standard approach for safely killing algae and mildew without damaging plants when used correctly with proper pre-wetting and rinsing.

Pricing varies based on home size, siding type, and add-ons. Single-story house washing starts at $199, two-story homes at $349-$449, and large homes $599-$649+. Single-car driveways start at $149, double-car driveways at $199. Deck restoration starts at $199. Gutter whitening is most affordable as an add-on. We provide free, detailed estimates with no hidden fees.

Yes, all estimates are completely free with no obligation. Our crew will visit your Atlanta home, look at your siding, driveway, deck, and any other surfaces, and provide a detailed written quote. Most residential estimates take 20-30 minutes and we often quote same-day.

We accept cash, check, all major credit cards, Venmo, and Zelle. Payment is due upon completion of satisfactory work. We also offer financing options for larger residential projects over $1,000.

No - we believe in transparent pricing for Atlanta homeowners. Our written estimates include all costs for your project. The only additional charges would be for services you add after the original estimate, which we'd discuss and approve with you before proceeding.

Yes - bundling saves Atlanta homeowners money. When we're already set up at your home, adding driveway cleaning, gutter whitening, or deck restoration costs much less than booking them separately. Ask about our Complete Home Package - soft wash + driveway + deck typically saves $100-$200 versus individual services.

Most single-story home soft washes take 2-3 hours. Two-story homes take 4-5 hours. A typical driveway takes 2-3 hours, and deck restoration runs 4-8 hours depending on size and condition. A full home package (house + driveway + deck) is usually one full day. We'll provide accurate timing with your quote.

Yes - when proper technique is used. We pre-wet every plant and flower bed before starting, use eco-friendly biodegradable detergents, and rinse thoroughly throughout the job. We also direct runoff away from sensitive plants and pre-treat any plants close to the work area. We've cleaned thousands of Atlanta homes without harming landscaping.

Not when performed by trained professionals using the right technique. We soft wash delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, stucco, hardiplank, and painted wood, and adjust pressure carefully for concrete, pavers, and decks. Our crew has the experience to clean effectively without forcing water behind siding, damaging paint, or gouging wood.

It's not required, but we recommend being available at the start to walk through the work and at the end to inspect results. We'll need access to a water spigot and the areas being cleaned. Many Atlanta homeowners schedule service while they're at work and we send before/after photos.

Move vehicles out of the driveway and away from the work area, close all windows and doors, bring in outdoor furniture and decorations, remove pet items from outdoor areas, and ensure we have access to a water spigot. We'll send a detailed prep checklist when you schedule service.

Spring (late March-May) is the most popular - it removes winter buildup and gets ahead of oak pollen season. Fall (September-November) is also great for clearing summer algae and prepping for winter. We pressure wash year-round in Atlanta's mild climate; we just avoid freezing temperatures.

Soft wash siding typically stays clean 12-18 months in Atlanta. Driveways stay clean 12-24 months depending on tree coverage and oil exposure. Decks last 1-2 years before needing another cleaning. Pool decks usually need annual cleaning to stay slip-free.

Yes - we specialize in oil stain removal using professional-grade degreasers. Most oil stains come out completely or significantly fade. Older, deeper stains may need multiple treatments. We'll set realistic expectations during your free estimate.

Absolutely. Composite decking requires different care than wood - we use manufacturer-safe pressure settings and pH-balanced cleaners specifically designed for composite materials. Our methods remove embedded dirt and algae stains without voiding warranties or damaging the surface.

Yes - pre-painting prep is one of our most popular services. Proper cleaning is essential for paint adhesion. We remove dirt, mildew, pollen, and old failing paint chips so your new coating bonds properly and lasts longer.

Yes - pre-listing soft wash is a smart investment. Clean siding, a freshly cleaned driveway, and whitened gutters dramatically improve listing photos and buyer first impressions. Many Atlanta agents recommend us to their sellers. Same-day and rush service are available before photo shoots.

Yes - we work with many Atlanta-area HOAs and can provide invoices and before/after photos for HOA compliance. If you've received an HOA notice about house washing, driveway cleaning, or roof algae, we can usually schedule within a few days.

Call us at (470) 333-2525, email Alexusbestcompany@gmail.com, or fill out our online contact form. We'll schedule a free estimate at your convenience and offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends to fit homeowner schedules.

We stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you're not completely happy, we'll return to address any concerns at no additional charge. Your satisfaction is our priority - we won't consider the job complete until you're thrilled with your home's results.

Yes - we offer annual residential maintenance plans for Atlanta homeowners. Repeat customers get priority scheduling, discounted rates, and seasonal reminders. Annual plans keep your home consistently clean and prevent algae and stains from setting permanently.

We offer same-day service when possible, but recommend scheduling 3-7 days ahead during busy seasons (spring and fall). For HOA deadlines or pre-listing photos, booking 1-2 weeks ahead ensures availability.
