Roof, House, Concrete & More Washing in East Lake, GA
East Lake blends historic character with modern revitalization — from early-1900s cottages and brick bungalows to renovated craftsman homes, new-construction builds, and quiet streets packed with mature oak and pine trees. That heavy tree canopy is part of East Lake’s charm, but it also keeps surfaces damp and shaded far more than homeowners realize. Combine that with Georgia humidity, seasonal pollen waves, and older exterior materials, and you get fast-growing algae, mildew, roof streaking, and concrete discoloration throughout the neighborhood. Many homes here also face HOA expectations or insurance reminders when roof discoloration becomes noticeable.
That’s just where My Exterior Cleaner can assist!
We handle roof soft washing, house washing, driveway and sidewalk cleaning, patio and porch washing, and full exterior soft-wash services across East Lake — particularly around 2nd Avenue, Daniel Avenue, Glenwood Avenue, Memorial Drive, Delano Drive, and near landmarks like the Charlie Yates Golf Course, East Lake Park, and the historic East Lake Golf Club. Whether your home is shaded from sunrise to sunset, preparing for resale, or simply overdue for maintenance, we know how to clean it safely without damaging sensitive siding, paint, or roofing materials.
East Lake’s moisture-heavy microclimate means organic growth spreads fast. High-pressure washing can blow out siding, etch brick, or chip paint — especially on older homes with character-rich details. That’s why our soft-wash system is the ideal fit here. We use low pressure to protect your home while eliminating algae at the root, lifting stains from brick and concrete, and restoring the clean, bright look homeowners want.
If you call East Lake home, we make maintaining your curb appeal and protecting your property from long-term damage incredibly easy — no risk, no stress, just reliable results.
Reviews & Testimonials
House Soft Washing Services in East Lake, Ga
East Lake mixes early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows, brick cottages, post-war ranches, and newer modern farmhouses clustered around the East Lake Golf Club and Charlie Yates course. Many streets are tree-lined, with deep shade on side elevations and rear yards. Painted brick, clapboard, and Hardie-style siding develop green algae bands and gray mildew where shade and golf-course moisture hang in the air. Road grit from Memorial Dr and Hosea L. Williams also leaves a fine film on front façades and porch details.
High-pressure washing can scar older brick, lift paint off original wood trim, and etch fiber-cement siding. Infill homes near the courses and The Villages at East Lake often sit close together, so overspray and chemical drift can easily reach neighboring houses, cars in driveways, or manicured lawns. Homeowners want that “clean but not stripped” look—especially near the golf courses where curb appeal expectations are high.
We use a low-pressure soft-wash system tuned for mixed exteriors: painted brick, historic wood, and modern cement siding. Our detergents are built to break down algae, mildew, and traffic film in shaded, tree-heavy streets without burning paint or plants. We work in controlled sections, manage drift between close neighbors, and rinse from top down so large façades and porches dry evenly and match the quality of the homes around the courses.
Roof Soft Washing Services in East Lake, Ga
East Lake roofs sit under a strong tree canopy and near open turf at East Lake Golf Club, Charlie Yates Golf Course, and East Lake Park, which means moisture hangs around longer on shingles. Architectural asphalt is common, with some higher-end four-sided brick homes carrying more complex rooflines. Algae streaks and lichen patches show up quickly on north- and east-facing slopes—very visible from the street and from the fairways and park edges.
Those black streaks are living growth eating at the shingle surface, not just “aging.” If someone attacks them with a pressure washer or aggressive nozzle from a ladder, they’ll rip off granules, reduce remaining roof life, and risk leaks at valleys and penetrations. In a neighborhood where values are up and golf-adjacent homes are scrutinized, stained roofs become a negotiation point during sales and refis.
We follow manufacturer-style soft-wash guidelines: low-pressure application of roof detergent that kills algae and lichen, followed by a controlled rinse or natural breakdown over time. We stage access to limit walking on aging or steep sections and control runoff onto fairway-adjacent lawns, landscaping, and tight side yards. Front slopes facing the street or course get extra attention and dwell time so streaking clears properly and the roof matches the level of the rest of the property.
Concrete Pressure Washing Services in East Lake, Ga
Driveways and walks in East Lake range from narrow older strips to widened multi-car pads and small parking courts, especially near East Lake Terrace and the Villages at East Lake. Clay soils, leaf litter from mature trees, and constant foot traffic to parks, schools, and the golf courses stain concrete with orange-red clay streaks, dark algae swaths, and leaf-tannin “ghosts.” Shaded driveways and sidewalks hold moisture, turning green and slick after storms.
Many slabs are decades old with patches and hairline cracks—exactly the kind that will spall or stripe if hit with too much PSI and no pretreatment. In these walkable streets, slick sidewalks and driveway aprons are a legit safety issue, especially on slopes or where people cut through to Hosea L. or the park. A quick DIY blast can leave permanent wand marks that look worse than the original staining.
We start with pre-treatments designed for clay, organics, and tire/traffic grime so we can clean at the right pressure, not maximum pressure. Using a surface cleaner with a set pattern, we even out older slabs instead of creating stripes. For heavily shaded sections or chronic wet spots, we follow with a post-treatment that slows algae regrowth so the concrete stays brighter and less slick between major cleanings—important in a neighborhood with this much walking and parking churn.
Hardscape Pressure Washing Services in East Lake, Ga
East Lake yards often include brick or stone front steps, short retaining walls, small patios, and “add-on” paver spaces created during renovations. Some properties near the courses and newer enclaves have more formal hardscapes, while older cottages and ranches rely on pieced-together brick walks and dry-laid stone. Shade from trees and structures keeps these surfaces damp, so moss and algae colonize joints and faces, especially near beds and downspout outlets.
Old brick, stone, and block don’t respond well to brute-force pressure. Mortar can crumble, edges chip, and softer stone will pit or flake, especially on older installations. At the same time, slippery steps and mossy paths are real hazards for guests, kids, and deliveries. East Lake homeowners want the surfaces safe and cleaned up without wiping out the character and texture that give the neighborhood its feel.
We use a chemistry-first approach that loosens organic growth in joints and on surfaces before we rinse at controlled pressure. On older or softer materials, we adjust angles and distance to protect mortar and stone faces. For paver patios and modern hardscapes, we clean uniformly across the entire field so there aren’t blotchy zones. If joints are already eroding or moving, we can recommend re-sanding or re-pointing and optional sealing plans that fit the age and style of each property.
Wood/Composite Soft Washing Services in East Lake, Ga
Decks, porches, and privacy fences in East Lake are usually tucked behind houses or along side yards screened with trees and shrubs. That means a lot of shade and not much airflow. Wooden porch floors, railings, and decks show gray mildew bands and dark algae between boards, while newer composite systems on renovated or infill homes pick up a cloudy film from pollen and humidity.
Because many porches and decks are part of renovations or expansions, homeowners are wary of damaging fresh stain, trim, or composite boards. High-pressure washing raises grain, blows out splinters, and can streak composite permanently. Slippery steps and landings are common, especially when shaded all day on the side of the house facing away from the sun or toward the golf courses.
Our wood/composite soft wash uses targeted detergents to break down mildew, algae, and biofilm before a gentle rinse. On natural wood, we aim for a consistent, even clean that’s ready for stain or seal—not a patchwork of bright and dark spots. On composite, we remove the film without etching or leaving wand marks. We focus heavily on railings and stair treads where grip and traction matter most for daily use.
Concrete/Paver Sealing Services in East Lake, Ga
With a mix of tree canopy, clay soil, and open turf nearby, cleaned concrete and pavers in East Lake don’t stay pristine for long if they’re left unsealed. Moisture and fine organic debris from trees and lawns quickly darken surfaces again. Paver driveways, walkways, and patios—especially in newer or golf-adjacent clusters—can shift, settle, or grow weeds in joints if they’re never properly stabilized.
Without sealing, you’re signing up to re-clean hard every season or two. But slapping on the wrong sealer is just as bad: non-breathable or high-gloss products can haze, peel, or turn slick in shaded areas. Pavers with loose or missing joint sand move under vehicles and foot traffic, creating trip points and drainage problems. In a neighborhood with rising values, that doesn’t fly.
After a thorough cleaning, we use breathable sealers chosen for East Lake’s humid, tree-heavy environment. On pavers, we re-sand and stabilize joints first so the sealer can lock in the pattern, cut down on weeds, and reduce movement. On concrete, our sealers help resist clay and tannin staining and make future maintenance cleanings faster and easier—without leaving a shiny, plastic film that looks out of place next to classic bungalows and brick cottages.
