The Complete Phoenix Homeowner’s Guide to Pressure Washing (2025 Edition)

Every year around March and April, folks across Phoenix, Anthem, Norterra, and Desert Hills call us saying things like, “my house already looks dirty again,” or “why does this driveway keep turning brown?” And honestly, it’s not your fault. Phoenix dust is super fine, and the heat basically bakes it into everything.

This guide gives easy info on how pressure washing helps stop that buildup and what Phoenix homeowners need to know.
If you want to see all services, here’s our Pressure Washing Services page.

Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is the fastest way to clean off dust, mud, oil, pollen, and other buildup that sits on stucco, driveways, walkways, patios, and fences.

Common signs you need it:

• gray or chalky walls
• brown or patchy driveways
• patio dust that keeps blowing inside
• dirty window areas

Driveway Pressure Washing

Driveways in Phoenix get dirty faster than almost anywhere. Oil drips from cars harden in the sun, dust fills the surface, and tire marks get cooked into the concrete.

Neighborhoods near I-17, North Gateway, and Anthem get the worst staining because of road dust and traffic.

House Exterior Pressure Washing

Stucco traps dust like a sponge. The bumps and texture collect tiny particles from wind and monsoon storms.

A soft wash helps remove:

• dust film
• gray shading under windows
• pollen and spider webs
• dirt baked into the stucco

Here’s the full breakdown:

Gutter Cleaning

When gutters clog with dust, leaves, and monsoon debris, water spills over the edge and leaves brown streaks down the stucco. It only takes one rainstorm for those stains to show.

Most Phoenix homes need gutter cleaning once or twice a year, depending on nearby trees.

Window Cleaning

Windows in Phoenix get hit with a mix of dust, pollen, and hard-water spots. After a storm, minerals dry on the glass and leave white dots that don’t come off without proper cleaning.

We clean:

• screens
• sills
• tracks
• exterior glass

When Should You Pressure Wash in Phoenix?

Here’s the simple local rule we follow after cleaning hundreds of homes a year:

• Dusty zones like Norterra or Desert Hills → every 3–4 months
• Near highways like I-17 / Carefree Hwy → every 4–6 months
• Neighborhoods like Anthem, Tramonto, Peoria → every 6 months
• Lower dust areas like Glendale or Scottsdale → every 6–9 months

If your house or driveway starts looking dull even after a few months, that’s normal for Phoenix.

Local Tips to Keep Your Home Cleaner

These small things help reduce dust buildup:

• rinse patios or walkways every week
• clean windows before mineral spots appear
• check gutters after storms
• trim bushes touching the wall
• keep garage doors closed on windy days
