Top 5 Outdoor Spaces to Refresh for Summer Entertaining

Deck Cleaning, Flatwork Cleaning, House Washing

As the warm weather rolls in, outdoor gatherings, BBQs, and poolside hangouts are back on the calendar. But before you send out those summer party invites, take a look around your home’s exterior. Winter grime and spring pollen may have left some high-traffic areas looking dull or downright dirty.

Here are the Top 5 outdoor spaces to refresh with professional exterior cleaning services to get your home summer-ready and impress your guests.

1. Your Deck or Patio: The Summer Hot Spot

Your deck or patio is often the heart of summer entertaining. Whether you’re firing up the grill or hosting a happy hour, this space needs to be spotless.

Deck cleaning services remove algae, mold, and grime that can make the surface slippery and unattractive. Whether it’s wood, composite, or concrete, a professional power wash can restore natural beauty and extend the life of your outdoor space.

2. Driveways & Walkways: First Impressions Count

Your driveway and front walkway are the first things guests see. Stains from oil, mildew, and weathering build up over time and can make your home look tired.

A concrete cleaning service using surface cleaners and professional equipment will lift stains and make your property shine from the curb. It’s one of the quickest ways to boost curb appeal before your next summer event.

3. Pool Decks & Surrounding Areas

Hosting a pool party? Don’t overlook the pool deck and surrounding concrete. These areas get slick with mildew and sunscreen buildup, posing both a safety and aesthetic issue.

Soft washing and pressure washing techniques can safely clean without damaging pool finishes or delicate surfaces. It’s a must-do before Memorial Day, July 4th, and summer birthdays.

4. Fencing & Gates: The Framing of Your Yard

Fences and gates can trap dirt, cobwebs, and pollen, especially after a rainy spring. Whether your fence is vinyl, wood, or composite, refreshing it with a proper wash gives your yard a well-maintained, polished look.

Tip: Combine fence cleaning with deck or siding cleaning for a full yard refresh.

5. Siding & Gutters: The Overlooked Backdrop

You’d be surprised how many homeowners forget to clean the siding and gutters before a party. Dirty siding, green algae streaks, or overflowing gutters filled with debris can be distracting and send the wrong message about upkeep.

Professional house washing with soft wash systems is a safe, effective way to revive your home’s exterior without any damage.

Tips & Tricks to Power Wash Like a Pro!

When it comes to power washing, mastering the techniques can make a significant difference in the results you achieve. Understanding how to use power washing equipment effectively and efficiently is key to getting that professional finish.

To power wash like a pro, remember to start with the right equipment and adjust the pressure settings according to the surface you are cleaning. Always follow recommended cleaning tips and techniques to avoid damaging any surfaces or causing injury.

Concrete & asphalt require more pressure.
Wood decks & painted surfaces require a gentle pressure. We recommend getting at least 12 to 15 inches away from the surface, spraying in even strokes in the exact direction of the wood grain.
Do not take pressure to vinyl siding, this will cause damage, instead use a soft washing method or call a professional.

While there are numerous power wash cleaning hacks out there, it’s important to distinguish between what works effectively and what could potentially harm surfaces. Knowing the do’s and don’ts of power washing can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.

DO – Prep before you begin cleaning. Cover garden plants and shrubs. Remove all furniture, garden decorations, door mats etc. Note the location of windows and electrical boxes.
DON’T – Underestimate the power of the power washer.
DO – Work in a pattern. We recommend left to right, top to bottom.
DON’T – Use only one nozzle tip for every job. Each nozzle tip sprays differently.

When it comes to exterior cleaning, having expert tricks up your sleeve can make all the difference.

Top Five Fall Maintenance Checklist

Flatwork Cleaning, Gutter Guards, Newsletters

The Season has officially changed, and the inevitable Fall tasks are knocking at the door. No need to fret, Allbrite compiled a Fall Maintenance Checklist for you. It’s important to prep your home for each Season to ensure the longevity and the integrity of your home. Spending the time maintaining your home regularly will help avoid major headaches and ultimately save you money in the long run. Whether you are able to do the things on this checklist, or if you need to hire a professional, it’s vital to ensure they are completed!

1. Gutter Debris Cleaning-

Get your gutters cleaned from all debris! Your gutters are there to divert water away from the foundation of your home so keeping them clear and running smoothly is important.

2. Inspect Your Roof-

From top to bottom you want to check your roof for misshaped, loose, or missing shingles. Check the metal flashing around vents and chimneys for any damage. If you have a leak, stopping the problem before wind and ice start will help prevent disasters.

3. Pressure Wash Flat Surfaces-

Front porch, walkways, driveways and any stepping stones that are used on a regular basis should be free from green algae and mildew. Pressure washing these surfaces before Winter comes will help avoid those nasty slip and falls.

4. Winterize Your Outdoor Faucets-

Shut-off any valves that lead to your outdoor faucets before freezing temperatures. This ensures your outdoor faucet doesn’t freeze and burst.

5. Heating System Inspected-

Before you know it, you’ll be switching to your heating system. It’s a good idea to have your system checked by a professional before using to ward off any future issues.
