Brookhaven brings together some of the most desirable neighborhoods in Metro Atlanta — from classic brick ranches and mid-century homes to custom new builds, townhomes, and luxury properties tucked inside gated communities. Many of these homes sit beneath a thick canopy of oaks and pines, which is great for shade but terrible for exterior surfaces. Between heavy pollen, constant leaf litter, humid summers, and limited sun exposure, algae, mildew, roof streaking, and concrete discoloration show up regularly across the area. Add in HOA expectations, rising insurance scrutiny, and Brookhaven’s strong focus on curb appeal, and it’s clear why homeowners here stay on top of exterior cleaning.
That’s exactly what My Exterior Cleaner can help with.
We provide roof soft washing, house washing, driveway and sidewalk cleaning, patio/porch washing, and full exterior cleaning across Brookhaven — especially throughout Lynwood Park, Ashford Park, Brookhaven Heights, Drew Valley, and around major landmarks like Town Brookhaven and the Peachtree Road corridor. Whether you own a mid-century brick home that battles shade year-round, a renovated cottage, or a new construction property that needs routine upkeep to preserve value, we know the exact approach to clean it safely and effectively.
Brookhaven’s blend of tall trees and dense neighborhoods creates the perfect environment for organic growth. Surfaces stay damp longer. Pollen sticks to siding like glue. And those black streaks on roofs? They spread quickly if left untreated.
That’s why our soft-wash method is the go-to solution here — low pressure, high effectiveness, and completely safe for painted surfaces, stucco, brick, Hardie board, and shingles. We kill the algae at the root, brighten concrete, and help your home maintain that polished, well-kept look Brookhaven is known for.
If you call Brookhaven home, we make it incredibly easy to keep your property clean, protected, and market-ready all year long.
Reviews & Testimonials
House Soft Washing Services in Brookhaven, Ga
Brookhaven is a mix of 1950s brick ranches, renovated bungalows, and new-build modern farmhouses and Craftsman homes in areas like Ashford Park, Brookhaven Fields, and Drew Valley. Many streets are heavily treed, and the city actively tracks and protects its urban canopy, which means more shade, more pollen, and longer moisture on siding and trim. Painted brick, fiber cement, and lap siding take on green algae bands on the shaded sides, while lighter exteriors show gray mildew around windows, porches, and garage fronts facing north or east.
Because homes here are close together and often recently renovated, blasting siding with high pressure is a good way to scar paint, damage fiber cement, or force water behind trim. Townhome and infill communities along Dresden and around Brookhaven Village have multiple stories and tight setbacks, so overspray, spotting on windows, and chemical drift onto neighbors’ landscaping are real concerns. Homeowners want that “fresh listing photo” look without risking fresh paint jobs or creating lap marks on painted brick.
We use a true soft-wash setup for Brookhaven’s mixed materials: low-pressure application, controlled dwell time, and detergents balanced for painted brick, Hardie-style siding, and trim. We break the house into zones so runoff doesn’t dry streaky across those big garage doors and tall front elevations. In tighter communities, we protect adjacent units and landscaping, then rinse from top-down so balconies, bump-outs, and porch ceilings don’t drip dirty water back onto freshly cleaned walls. The goal is a uniform, even clean that still respects newer finishes and older masonry.
Roof Soft Washing Services in Brookhaven, Ga
With Brookhaven’s strong tree canopy and hot, muggy summers, roofs stay damp longer than homeowners think, especially on streets lined with mature oaks and pines around Ashford Park, Lynwood Park, and near Peachtree Road. Architectural asphalt shingles dominate, but many older ranches still have aging roofs that are already partway through their lifespan. Black streaks, patchy algae, and lichen colonies tend to show first on the front-facing slopes visible from the street, which stands out in higher-price neighborhoods where curb appeal is everything.
High-pressure roof “cleaning” is a fast way to shorten the life of granule-coated shingles and put a target on your back with the manufacturer. In Brookhaven, where values are high and inspections are thorough, dirty roofs can draw comments from agents, buyers, and sometimes insurance carriers—especially on homes marketed as “move-in ready.” Multi-story homes and townhomes add another layer of risk: steep pitches, limited access, and landscaping that homeowners don’t want trampled in the process.
Our roof soft-wash process uses manufacturer-aligned chemistry applied at low pressure, so we’re treating the organic growth instead of grinding off granules. We work from ladders and designated access points to minimize foot traffic on steep or complex roofs, and we stage tarps and rinsing to protect high-end landscaping and tight lots. On front-facing slopes, we let the solution dwell long enough to fully break down the black streaks so the roof looks clean from the street, not just “better than before.” Follow-up rinses are tailored to Brookhaven’s heat and humidity so the roof can dry out properly.
Concrete Pressure Washing Services in Brookhaven, Ga
Brookhaven driveways range from original narrow strips in older ranch neighborhoods to wide, multi-car concrete pads in newer luxury builds and townhome communities. Clay soils, leaf litter, and runoff from mulched beds stain driveways with orange-red blotches and dark algae fans where water repeatedly tracks from tires or downspouts. Shaded sections near side yards or between closely spaced homes stay slick after summer storms, especially on sloped driveways running toward the street.
Many homeowners assume those rust-colored and brown bands are “just what Georgia concrete looks like” or that stripes from previous power washing are unavoidable. Older slabs may already have hairline cracking or patchwork repairs that can ravel if hit with the wrong tip and too much PSI. In higher-density townhome developments, shared drive lanes make slick algae and uneven cleaning a safety and aesthetic issue, not just a cosmetic one.
We pre-treat Brookhaven concrete with solutions designed to loosen clay, tire marks, and organic buildup before we ever touch it with a surface cleaner. That lets us use the right pressure—not maximum pressure—and keeps us from carving lines into older or patched areas. We adjust our pass pattern and overlaps so big, wide drives come out even instead of tiger-striped. On shaded or consistently wet zones, we often finish with a light post-treatment to slow algae from reattaching, which keeps driveways and shared lanes looking better between major cleanings.
Hardscape Pressure Washing Services in Brookhaven, Ga
Yards in Brookhaven regularly feature brick walks, stone front steps, side-yard flagstone paths, and paver patios or courtyards added behind renovated homes and newer infill builds. Irrigation overspray, clay washout from beds, and dense shade mean joints fill with soil and moss, while the surface grows a slick film of algae. In townhome and gated communities, small courtyard spaces and shared mail or trash areas see concentrated foot traffic that grinds dirt into pavers and brick.
Brick, stone, and pavers don’t react well to brute-force pressure. Blow out enough joint sand or mortar and the surface starts shifting or looks “pitted” instead of classic. Homeowners in Brookhaven are spending real money on outdoor living spaces—grills, fire pits, turf—and they expect those surfaces to look intentionally maintained, not patchy or bleached in some areas and dark in others. Slick steps and walkways are also a concern with kids, guests, and delivery drivers constantly moving through.
We lean on detergents to break down the film and organic growth in joints, then rinse at controlled pressure so we’re not excavating sand or chewing up soft brick. On older masonry steps and walkways, we pay attention to grout lines and edges so the cleaning enhances the “established” look instead of erasing it. For paver patios and townhome courtyards, we aim for an even, consistent finish across the whole field, and can recommend re-sanding and future sealing where joint loss and movement are already starting to show.
Wood/Composite Soft Washing Services in Brookhaven, Ga
Brookhaven decks and fences sit behind a lot of foliage—privacy plantings, mature trees, and screening between houses and townhomes. That means less direct sun and more trapped moisture on horizontal boards. Older pressure-treated decks on ranch homes show gray planks with dark mildew between boards, while composite and PVC systems on newer builds and townhomes pick up a stubborn haze and spotting from pollen and airborne grime. Hot, muggy summers don’t give these surfaces much chance to dry out fully.
It’s easy to mistake heavy mildew and algae for “the deck just being worn out,” and a lot of people reach for a rental pressure washer or aggressive cleaner as the fix. That can lift grain, cause splintering, or leave tiger stripes on wood—and it can etch or streak composite boards in ways the manufacturer never intended. With elevated decks and stair systems, there’s also a real safety angle: slick treads, railings with buildup where hands land, and shaded landings that stay wet after every storm.
Our approach for Brookhaven decks and fences is chemistry plus low pressure. We use targeted detergents that break up organics and pollen on both natural wood and composite, then rinse gently so we’re not shredding the surface or forcing water into joints and fasteners. On wood, we aim for an even, “ready-to-stain” look rather than a patchy blast job; on composites, we clear the biofilm so the original color and texture come back. We pay extra attention to handrails and stair treads, where grip and traction actually matter day-to-day.
Concrete/Paver Sealing Services in Brookhaven, Ga
Between shade from a well-protected tree canopy, clay-heavy soils, and high rainfall and humidity, unsealed hardscapes in Brookhaven stain and grow algae quickly. Driveways and walks near landscaped beds and steep grades catch runoff, while paver driveways and patios around newer construction and townhome communities can start to shift or grow weeds in joints if left unprotected. High-end neighborhood aesthetics around Brookhaven Village, Peachtree corridor, and Ashford Park make blotchy, green, or crumbling surfaces stand out fast.
A good cleaning without sealing is basically a reset button—you’re back on the clock as soon as the next wet season and pollen cycle hit. Cheap or incorrect sealers can make things worse: trapped moisture, whitening, peeling, or an overly shiny “plastic” look that doesn’t match the architecture or the price point of the home. Paver systems without stabilized joints are also more likely to rut under vehicle traffic or settle where drainage isn’t perfect.
After we clean, we recommend breathable sealers that are compatible with our climate and surface type, not just whatever is on the shelf. On pavers, we re-sand and stabilize joints first so the sealer locks everything in place and helps resist weeds and moss. On concrete, we choose sealers that reduce absorption of clay, tannins, and oily drips without creating a slick, glassy finish. The goal in Brookhaven is simple: keep driveways, walks, and outdoor living areas looking like part of a well-cared-for property, while stretching the time between major restorative cleanings.
