Office buildings, retail storefronts, and restaurants all face the same problem in New Orleans: warm, damp air and heavy tree cover mean exterior walls collect algae and grime year-round, and mud daubers build nests in eaves, corners, and under overhangs faster than most owners notice.
Office buildings, retail storefronts, and restaurants all face the same problem in New Orleans: warm, damp air and heavy tree cover mean exterior walls collect algae and grime year-round, and mud daubers build nests in eaves, corners, and under overhangs faster than most owners notice. That’s especially true under mature live oak canopies, which shade walls just enough to keep them damp between rains and give mud daubers plenty of cover to build in peace. Left alone, that buildup works its way from cosmetic to structural.
We wash exterior walls to clear dirt, algae, and general pollution staining, then clear out mud dauber nests, eggs, and spiderwebs from eaves, soffits, and corners where they collect. Gutters and exterior windows get cleaned in the same visit, so the whole envelope of the building gets addressed at once instead of piecemeal.

Why it’s worth doing on a schedule
Dirt and organic buildup aren’t just a look you can ignore. Left on a wall long enough, algae and grime hold moisture against the surface and accelerate wear on paint, siding, and masonry, which turns a wash you could have done this year into a repaint or repair job in a few. Airborne pollution and exhaust residue settle into porous surfaces like stucco and brick just as fast, especially on buildings that face a busy street, dulling the original color of the material over time. Graffiti runs on the same clock: the longer it sits, the more it invites more of it.
A clean exterior also does the obvious thing well: it makes the building look kept up. That matters to customers walking in, and it matters just as much if you’re leasing space or selling the property, since curb appeal is the first thing anyone sees before they ever get a look inside.

How much does building exteriors cleaning cost in New Orleans?
Pricing depends on the surface, the square footage, and how much buildup there is, so we quote in writing after a free estimate, before any work starts.
Will it damage my property?
No. We match the method to the surface, soft washing siding, shingles, and painted surfaces instead of blasting them, and saving high pressure for concrete and brick.
How often should this be done?
Gulf humidity keeps mold and algae growing nearly year-round, so most properties look their best washed about once a year. Shaded areas can need it sooner.
What areas do you serve?
New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, River Ridge, Gretna, Harvey, Marrero, Chalmette, Slidell, Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, and Abita Springs.
