Pressure washing in Baton Rouge

The air around a Baton Rouge house is damp almost all year. NOAA's humidity records for the Baton Rouge airport, from 1948 to 2018, put the average morning reading at 85 percent or more in every month, peaking at 93 in August. Afternoons fall back to somewhere between the mid-50s and the low 60s.

When the wash day comes, East Baton Rouge Parish's Department of Environmental Services asks for a broom first. To get rid of debris, its storm drain brochure says to use a broom rather than a water hose, because hosing sends the debris into the storm drain. The brochure adds that polluted stormwater does much more harm in a larger metro area such as Baton Rouge.

The soap is the other part. The same brochure lists soaps among the common contaminants that can foul the stormwater system, and it names products advertised as "non-toxic" or "biodegradable" right alongside them. In East Baton Rouge Parish, a green label on the jug doesn't put a cleaner on the storm drain's safe list.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on the surface and how dirty it is, but a pro who sees the whole property will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is pressure washing priced?
Mostly by the square footage and the surface — a concrete driveway is cheaper per foot than siding or a wood deck, which need a gentler soft-wash. Heavy algae, mildew, or oil stains add to it because they take detergent and a second pass.
Will pressure washing damage my siding or deck?
It can if it’s done at full pressure on the wrong surface — that’s why good pros soft-wash siding and wood. Our ballpark factors in the gentler method for delicate surfaces.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot showing the full surface you want cleaned — the whole driveway or the side of the house — gives the best read on the size and how dirty it is.
