Exterior Cleaning Built
for West Lake Hills Hillside Properties
Homes here in West Lake Hills sit on wooded, hillside lots where dense oak canopy keeps exteriors in near-constant shade, and shade holds moisture. That combination feeds black mold, green algae, and mildew on limestone, brick, and hard surfaces faster than it would on open, sunnier lots. The terrain adds to the job too: retaining walls, multi-level decks, and steep driveways mean the grime you’re looking at usually covers far more surface than the house itself, and older wood and composite decks tucked under all that tree cover tend to green over well before anyone expects them to.
Our team at Activate Pressure Washing is equipped to handle exactly those conditions, matching the method to each surface instead of blasting everything the same way. We rinse, apply antimicrobial soaps and solutions to kill the organic growth at the root, let them work, then rinse clean, dialing the pressure and cleaning solution up or down for delicate limestone, wood decks, or tougher concrete as the surface calls for it.
If your exterior is starting to show that shaded-lot buildup, we’d be glad to take a look. Call us at 512-696-5770 for a free estimate on your West Lake Hills property, and we’ll walk you through exactly what your surfaces need.
Pressure Washing for West Lake Hills Homes and Businesses
We handle residential and commercial properties, holding the same standards on both.
Residential Pressure Washing
Here’s what we clean on a home, and how we handle each surface:
- House washing: we rinse the house, apply antimicrobial soaps and solutions to kill black mold, green algae, and mildew, let them work, then rinse everything clean. A ground man waters plants throughout, and delicate plants are covered. On paint that’s started to oxidize: Oxidation is handled case by case. If it isn’t too bad, we can clean it using special chemicals. If it’s severe, we’ll usually recommend a painter: pressure washing can clean surfaces, but it can’t restore them.
- Driveway and concrete cleaning: concrete and paver driveways, sidewalks, and patios are cleaned with commercial surface cleaners for an even finish, then a brightening post-treatment that kills remaining mold and mildew spores so the surface stays cleaner longer. We clean concrete and pavers only. On oil stains, we set honest expectations up front: We can always do the best job we can using commercial degreasers, but at the end of the day, concrete is very porous: once oil has soaked into the concrete, we can only lift some of it. We’re able to make it look a lot better, but having it be a hundred percent perfect isn’t realistic, depending on how long the oil has been there.
- Fence cleaning: mold, mildew, and organic growth removed with the same antimicrobial approach we use across the rest of the exterior.
- Deck cleaning (refresh): wood, composite (including Trex), and cedar decks refreshed by killing mold and mildew and washing them clean. We’ll tell you straight what to expect on older wood: We’re in the business of cleaning things, not restoring them; we can’t fix old wood. On an older deck, we’ll do the best we can to get it as clean as possible and remove the mold and mildew, but in most cases a deck that’s several years old won’t look the way it did the day it was installed.
- Rust removal: general rust staining on concrete and siding. Rust removal is improvement-based: we can’t guarantee full removal since every rust stain is different, but our customers are consistently happy with the results.
- Roof cleaning: soft-wash roof cleaning that kills and removes mold and algae, done from the ground where possible, with a ground man watering every plant and covering delicate ones throughout.
- Gutter cleaning: debris cleared, downspouts flushed, and gutters inspected, with any damage reported to you. We can bag the debris and leave it on the property on request.
- Window cleaning: interior and exterior windows cleaned by hand, glass, frames, and sills included (tracks for an added charge). We offer hard water stain removal, though depending on severity full removal may not be realistic, which is why we recommend regular window cleaning to help prevent buildup in the first place.
West Lake Hills’ hillside lots often mean retaining walls, multi-level decks, and steep driveways add up to more surface than the house alone, so a full-property clean covers a lot of ground.
Commercial Pressure Washing
We keep commercial properties looking sharp with the same crew standards we hold on residential work. We can serve properties such as:
- Commercial building exteriors and storefronts along Westlake Hills Road, including hot-water cleaning for tougher grime
- Drive-thru lanes and surrounding surfaces near the Loop 360 corridor
- Parking lots and parking garages throughout the 78746 area
- Apartment complexes and multi-family properties, coordinated with local property management teams
- HOA common areas and community properties across the Eanes area
- Gas station forecourts and fuel islands near Westbank Drive
- Dumpster pads, degreased and sanitized
- Graffiti removal from commercial surfaces along Westlake Drive
- Post-construction exterior cleanup for tree-canopied and hillside properties
We run hot-water pressure washing equipment for tougher commercial grime, coordinate access and scheduling with your point of contact, and can work while your business is open, taking full protective precautions. On apartment and HOA work, tenant notification is handled by the property’s point of contact.
What Sets Our West Lake Hills
Pressure Washing Apart
The feedback we receive tends to point back to the same priorities: careful preparation, honest communication, proper protection, and equipment suited to the job. Those principles guide how we approach every residential and commercial property.
Landscaping Care Is Built Into the Job
Before and during the cleaning, we take active steps to protect the areas surrounding the work zone. Plants are watered, sensitive vegetation is covered when necessary, and a crew member remains on the ground to monitor the property throughout the service.
Clear Quotes Without the Guesswork
Estimates are always free, and we prefer to visit most properties before providing a price. An on-site walkthrough gives us a better view of the surfaces, access, buildup, and full project scope while also giving you the opportunity to meet the team handling the work.
Professional Coverage on Every Property
We carry full licensing, $2 million in liability insurance, and active workers’ compensation coverage. Whether the project involves a private residence or an active commercial site, the proper protection is in place before our equipment is set up.
Hot Water Power Washing for Demanding Surfaces
When grease, traffic residue, or deeply settled grime requires more than a standard rinse, we use professional hot-water pressure washing equipment. The added heat helps break down stubborn buildup and delivers a more thorough clean on both residential and commercial surfaces.

Pressure Washing Works
From your first call to the finished job, here’s what to expect.
Start With a Free Quote Request
Call us or submit an estimate request with a few details about your West Lake Hills property and the areas you want cleaned.
Let Us Assess the Work
Most projects begin with an on-site visit so we can evaluate the surfaces, access, buildup, and layout before setting a price. Smaller areas, such as a short walkway or patio, may be quoted from photos or over the phone.
Choose a Service Date
After you approve the estimate, we book the project through Housecall Pro. Appointments are often scheduled during the initial visit, with cleaning typically completed within several days to about a week.
Prepare and Clean the Property
The crew checks in with you, confirms the agreed-upon work, and prepares the surrounding areas before cleaning begins. We match the process to each surface, using professional cleaning solutions, controlled pressure, flatwork surface cleaners, and hot-water equipment when heavier buildup requires it.
West Lake Hills properties often combine steep driveways, terraced landscaping, retaining walls, elevated decks, and multiple exterior levels. We plan the cleaning around the entire layout rather than treating the home as a single surface. A crew member also monitors the grounds and keeps nearby plants watered throughout the service.
Prepare and Clean the Property
Once the cleaning is complete, we inspect the serviced areas with you and address anything that needs attention. Your invoice is then sent by text and can be paid by debit card, credit card, check, cash, or mail.
Share Your Feedback
After the job, we may check in to make sure you are still pleased with the results. When the service earns your recommendation, we will also invite you to leave a Google review.
