Cleaning Older Homes in Birmingham, AL

Older Than the Typical U.S. Home

Birmingham's typical home was built in 1965. The typical U.S. home was built in 1980. By our estimate from Census tract data, about half of the city's owner-occupied houses were built before 1960. In the tracts that cover Highland Park and parts of Forest Park and Redmont Park, about 6 in 10 were built before 1940.

How we wash them: We soft wash at low pressure. A cleaning solution loosens mildew, algae and dirt, so we don't need a strong spray. When you ask for a quote, tell us about any crumbling mortar, loose brick or peeling paint.

Why Siding and Roofs Turn Green in Birmingham, AL

Rain, Damp Mornings and Plenty of Shade

Birmingham gets about 57 inches of rain a year, about 1.8 times the lower-48 average. Mornings stay damp, too: humidity averages 81% to 88% at 6 a.m., depending on the season. And trees cover about 44% of the city. Moisture and shade give mildew and algae what they need to grow on siding and roofs.

When to book:
Spring: Pine pollen usually starts in mid-March in central Alabama, and a warm February can bring it several weeks earlier. Book your wash once the yellow dust stops falling.
Summer: Book when green or dark streaks show up. They often appear first on shaded siding and roofs.
Fall: September and October average about 7 rainy days a month, the fewest of any month. That makes fall a good time for deck and fence cleaning and sealing.

Exterior Cleaning FAQs for Birmingham, AL

How much does house washing cost in Birmingham?

House soft washing starts at $250. Roof soft washing starts at $250 for asphalt, metal or tile roofs, and a two-car driveway starts at $150. Your price depends on the size and height of the house, the roof pitch and how much buildup there is. Every quote is free.

Is soft washing the same as pressure washing?

Not quite. Pressure washing relies on a strong spray. On siding, brick and roofs, we soft wash instead: low pressure plus a cleaning solution that loosens mildew, algae and dirt. We save higher pressure for hard surfaces like concrete driveways and walks.

Is my address in Birmingham, and do you serve it?

We serve homes and businesses inside the City of Birmingham and in many nearby areas. A Birmingham mailing address isn't always inside the city, because several ZIP codes cross the city line, so the map on this page uses county GIS city limits, not ZIP codes. Not sure? See our full service area or call 205-462-7970.

I'm in a historic district. Do I need approval to clean my house?

Check before you book. The City of Birmingham has design review for some exterior work in its local historic districts, so call the city's historic preservation staff to ask about cleaning, and tell us about the district when we talk.

When is the best time to wash a house in Birmingham?

Any time the siding or roof looks green or dirty, but two stretches work well. In spring, wait until the pine pollen stops falling; in central Alabama it usually starts in mid-March, and a warm February can bring it several weeks earlier. In fall, September and October average about 7 rainy days a month, the fewest of any month, which also makes fall a good time for deck and fence cleaning and sealing.

How do you wash older brick houses?

We soft wash at low pressure and let a cleaning solution do most of the work, instead of a strong spray. Older brick and mortar vary from house to house, so we don't make blanket promises. Before we start, point out any crumbling mortar, loose brick or peeling paint. If the house is in one of Birmingham's local historic districts, check with the City's historic preservation staff first.

Do you clean businesses and churches in Birmingham?

Yes. Along with homes, we clean offices, storefronts and churches. Call 205-462-7970 or send the form for a free quote.
