House Washing in McAllen, TX 78501
House washing in McAllen means soft washing stucco, siding and trim at low pressure, so the paint stays on. McAllen gets only about 22 inches of rain a year, yet September alone brings 4.74 inches and summer highs average near 99 degrees, so dust bakes onto concrete and roofs and a few wet weeks leave mildew on shaded walls.

What we wash on McAllen houses, and how
Most McAllen houses mix several materials. Each one gets its own method. The median home in McAllen was built in 1995, and about 64% of homes are single-family detached houses (ACS 2019-2023, via Point2Homes).
Painted block and stucco
September is McAllen's wettest month at 4.74 inches at Miller International Airport, far above any other month, and a few damp weeks like that let mildew take hold on shaded painted walls, siding and stucco.
Soft wash with a low-pressure rinse. No blasting, so the paint stays on and water stays out of hairline cracks.
Vinyl and fiber-cement siding
Green and black growth collects in the seams and on the shaded sides, and dirt streaks run down from the eaves.
Soft wash from the top down, rinsed so water does not get behind the boards.
Older and historic homes
McAllen began on Dec. 5, 1904, when the McAllen Townsite Company was formed, and its National Register listings include the Sam and Marjorie Miller House (1997) and the Mary S. and Gordon Griffin House (2014).
We test a small spot first and use the lowest pressure that works on old wood, stucco and paint.
Eaves, soffits and fascia
Dirt, cobwebs and mildew collect under the roofline, where rain rarely reaches.
Washed with low pressure and rinsed clean.
Garage doors and rust stains
January through March are McAllen's driest months, at 0.84, 0.66 and 1.15 inches at Miller International Airport, so lawns run on sprinklers and overspray leaves mineral spots on walls, windows and walks.
We test the stain first, because rust needs a different treatment than algae.
Gutters and downspouts
Dark streaks build up on the outside face of gutters and downspouts.
Cleaned from the ground, with the surrounding wall protected.

Call for your exact priceWhen to wash a house in McAllen
There is no wrong month, but the season changes what we see and how long a clean lasts.
Hurricane season
Tropical storms can bring heavy rain and debris onto roofs, walls and driveways, mostly near the coast (highest risk August to September). After a storm, call us to see what needs washing.
Spring and fall rains
Rain peaks in spring and fall near the Gulf Coast and humidity is higher in the east, so algae and mildew can build on shaded roofs and walls.
Cedar pollen season
Juniper (cedar) pollen peaks around mid-January in the Hill Country and east Texas and can leave a film on cars, siding and patios.

Yes. We work across McAllen, including Downtown McAllen, De Palmas Historic District, 17 Street Entertainment District, McAllen Arts District, Uptown McAllen and McAllen Convention Center District. Call with your address and we will confirm coverage.
How long does a house wash take?
It depends on the size of the house, its height and how much growth is on the walls. We give you a time estimate when we quote the job.

We reschedule. Wet weather does not hurt a wall wash, but a storm warning is a reason to move the date, and we will call you.
Methods and safety
Will house washing damage my stucco or siding?
Not when the method fits the wall. We use low pressure and a cleaning solution and rinse from the top down. High pressure is for concrete, not walls.
Will you protect my plants, windows and doors?
Yes. Plants get wet down first, outlets and fixtures get covered, and we check windows and doors before we start.
How long does a clean last in McAllen?
It depends on shade, sprinklers and how wet the season is. Shaded walls and areas near sprinklers green up first. After the job we tell you what to expect for your walls.

Yes. Ask for proof of insurance when we quote the job.
