Pressure Washing in Springfield, MO

Springfield, the Queen City of the Ozarks and birthplace of Route 66, is home to Bass Pro Shops and a fast-growing metro spread across the Ozark plateau. Humid Missouri summers, heavy tree pollen, and hard water leave siding, driveways, and roofs streaked with mildew, algae, and mineral film. Regular soft-washing lifts the buildup at the source and keeps Springfield homes bright without damaging siding or shingles.

Wash water from any exterior cleaning has to stay out of the storm drains, so we work to the runoff and stormwater rules published by the City of Springfield.

Half of Springfield's commercial identity sprawls out from the East Kearney national headquarters of Bass Pro Shops.

Big shaded facades grow the same algae our crews clear off homes, right up to the 350,000-square-foot walls of Johnny Morris' Wonders of Wildlife.

What cleaning a Springfield home actually involves

Springfield proper is older and denser than its suburbs, and that changes the work. The tree canopy over Rountree, Phelps Grove, and the historic streets near Walnut and Cherry keeps north-facing walls damp well after a rain, which is where mildew and algae take hold first, and it means the growth on a house in the core returns faster than on one in a newer subdivision that sits in open sun. A spring clean, once the oak pollen has dropped, is when that shade-heavy siding and those gutters stay clean longest.

The city is also built on the Springfield Plateau, where hard, mineral-rich water and shallow limestone show up as chalky spotting on brick and a white efflorescence haze on patios and foundations. On the old brick streets downtown, where Jordan Creek still runs in tunnels beneath the pavement, the mortar is soft and the finish is delicate, so low pressure and a cleaning solution do the work rather than force. We bring that same care to the varied stock across the metro - from the Queen Anne homes along Walnut Street to the mid-century brick ranches on the Glenstone corridor - and quote a flat number before we start, so the price you see is the price on the invoice.
