The Best Time to Power Wash a House

Updated: Jun 1, 2022


In general, houses should be power washed at least once a year any time between March and November. As it gets later in a calendar year, you’ll want to make sure your home is taken care of before the freezing temperatures and winter weather arrive. It’s best to think of power washing as a routine home maintenance task, as it will help increase the lifespan of your siding, concrete, and all outdoor surfaces.

While the time of year is important, there are several other considerations to make when determining when to power wash your house:

  1. Are you unsure of when the last time of your home was power washed?

  2. Has your home endured a long, snowy winter since it was last washed?

  3. Are you preparing to host guests for the holidays or a party?

  4. Are algae, mold, or black streaks present anywhere on your siding, concrete, or roof?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, your home would benefit from professional power washing services. It’s the simplest solution to protecting and beautifying residential properties – no matter the time of year.

Best Time of Day to Power Wash

Power washing can be performed any time from dawn to dusk, though sunlight and cloud coverage can present unique challenges. Shadows can appear, seeing a second story can be difficult, and spots can be easily missed. This makes the case for hiring a professional power washing company rather than doing it yourself. Experienced technicians will have worked in all types of conditions and at all times of the day. While you obviously wouldn’t want to power wash in pitch black, any sort of visibility will allow a technician to complete the job at the highest level.

Best Conditions for Power Washing

Whether it’s 45° and raining or 95° and sunny, power washing projects can be completed in virtually any weather conditions. Outside of when temperatures dip below freezing or the occasional thunderstorm, the weather rarely impacts power washing results. In the case of extreme weather, a technician will either wait for it to pass or come back on the next available day to complete the job.
