Cleaning Lakeway's Stone and Limestone
Exteriors the Right Way
Drive through Lakeway, and you’ll see plenty of homes finished in native limestone and stone, often built into hilltop or lakeside lots. These porous surfaces can hold onto dirt, mineral deposits, and organic staining, especially where tree cover keeps walls and terraces shaded. They also need a careful touch, since too much pressure can damage the stone rather than restore it.
That combination of delicate stone, uneven terrain, and multiple exterior surfaces is exactly what our team at Activate Pressure Washing is equipped to handle. We clean retaining walls, stepped driveways, terraces, patios, facades, and lakeside decks using professional equipment and methods suited to each material. By adjusting the cleaning solution, pressure, and approach from one surface to the next, we can remove buildup effectively while protecting the finish and integrity of the property.

What We Clean Across Lakeway,
Home and Business
The bulk of our Lakeway schedule is homes, and a full commercial operation runs right alongside it. Whichever side you’re on, the crew works to the same standard; the difference is really just how the job gets scheduled. The same proven process and the same antimicrobial cleaning solutions apply either way.
Residential Services
Around here, the exteriors we meet most are brick, limestone, and stone, some vinyl siding, and decks in wood, composite (including Trex), and cedar. This is what a home job can cover:
- House washing removes the black mold, green algae, and mildew that build up on exteriors, using antimicrobial cleaning solutions, with plants watered and protected the whole time. Oxidation is handled case by case.
- Driveway and concrete cleaning covers concrete and paver driveways, sidewalks, patios, and flatwork, surface-cleaned and then finished with a brightening post-treatment. Concrete and paver only. When it comes to oil, we’re straight with you: 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 clears mold, mildew, and organic growth using the same antimicrobial approach.
- Deck cleaning (refresh) brings wood, composite (including Trex), and cedar decks free of mold and mildew. 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 is improvement-based on concrete and siding. We can’t guarantee full removal since every rust stain is different, but our customers are consistently happy with the results.
- Roof cleaning is a soft-wash that kills and removes mold and algae, done from the ground where we can, with plants watered and covered throughout.
- Gutter cleaning clears the debris, flushes the downspouts, and checks for damage as we go.
- Window cleaning covers interior and exterior glass by hand, frames and sills included.
On the shaded, humid lots near the lake, algae tends to return sooner, which is why a lot of homeowners here find a standing cleaning schedule serves them better than a single wash.
Commercial Services
For a business property, the process is the same, but we bring hot-water pressure washing behind it for the heavier grime a commercial site tends to build up. Staying open is no problem: we take full protective precautions and route everything through your point of contact. Among the properties and jobs we take on:
- Building and storefront exteriors and facades
- Drive-thru lanes and the surfaces around them
- Parking lots and parking garages
- Apartment complexes and multi-family properties, coordinated through property management, with tenant notification handled by the property
- Dumpster pad degreasing
- Gas station forecourts and fuel islands
- Graffiti removal
- Post-construction exterior cleanup
- HOA common areas and community properties
- Commercial roof, gutter, and window cleaning folded into the same visit
We line up access and scheduling with your point of contact, work around your open hours, and take early-morning or after-hours jobs on commercial projects when daytime work would get in the way of operations. Water is diverted responsibly on site.
What Sets Our Crew Apart
in Lakeway
Certain things surface again and again when customers describe working with us. These are the marks we hold ourselves to job after job.
One of Lakeway's Top-Rated Exterior Cleaning
We’re one of the highest-rated exterior cleaning companies in Lakeway for a reason. A standing like that gets earned one property at a time, and holding onto it is what drives us.
A Free Estimate, Face to Face
We give free estimates and, most of the time, we come out in person. We value the relationship and want to see your property and put a face to the name. Standing on the property tells us far more than any web form could.
Licensed and Insured, Fully
We’re fully licensed and insured, carrying a $2 million insurance policy and active workers’ comp coverage. That coverage stands behind your property and every person on our crew.
Your Landscaping Stays Protected
We protect your property while we work, watering every plant on the property during cleaning, covering delicate plants, and keeping a ground man on hand throughout. Once we’re on site, nothing growing on your lot gets treated as an afterthought.
The Edge of Hot Water
We run hot-water pressure washing equipment, the extra cleaning power that gets tougher commercial and residential grime truly clean. That’s a level beyond what a cold-water rig alone will reach.
A Crew That Sweats the Details
Every member of our professionally trained team is a stickler for details and treats your property like their own. Whoever pulls up to your place knows the work and cares how it comes out.
Step by Step,
Start to Finish in Lakeway
Here’s how a job moves from your first call to a clean exterior. We’ve kept it easy on your end: booking goes through Housecall Pro, and you settle up by text invoice once the work is done.
Ask for a Free Estimate
Call us or submit a quote request and tell us what you need cleaned. We will gather a few details about the property, the surfaces involved, and any problem areas you want us to address.
Review the Property and Prepare Your Quote
Most projects begin with an in-person visit so we can inspect the property, understand the scope, and provide accurate pricing. Smaller jobs, such as a patio or short sidewalk, can often be quoted using photos or a quick phone conversation.
Approve the Estimate and Choose a Service Date
Once you approve the quote, we will reserve your place on the schedule. We can often book the project during the estimate visit, with most cleaning appointments completed within several days to about a week.
Complete the Cleaning
Our crew will arrive, introduce themselves, and review the planned work with you before getting started. We pre-rinse the area, apply the appropriate professional cleaning solution, allow it time to loosen and treat the buildup, and carefully rinse every surface.
A crew member also protects the surrounding landscaping by watering plants and covering delicate areas when needed. For Lakeway homes with limestone and natural stone, we use low pressure and rely on the cleaning solution to lift the buildup without damaging or eroding the porous surface.
Complete the Cleaning
After the cleaning is complete, we will walk the property with you and review the finished surfaces. Once you are satisfied with the work, we will send a text invoice that can be paid by debit card, credit card, check, cash, or mail.
Share Your Experience
When we have earned your satisfaction, we may ask you to leave a Google review. Your feedback helps other Lakeway property owners feel confident choosing our team.
What a Lakeway
Job Costs
Because every property is its own thing, the price tracks the size and scope of the work, how much buildup there is, and how long it’s been since the last cleaning. Here’s the way it breaks down.
- Starting at $499 for house washing.
- $275 minimum per project, the floor on any residential project, with the final figure set by scope.
Your estimate is free either way, and for most jobs we’re out at the property in person before we ever quote a number.
Our Lakeway Pressure Washing
Guarantees
Every job carries a promise, and we keep it plain.
We Make Sure the Job Is Done Right
We do not consider the work complete until you are satisfied with the result. If something does not meet your expectations, let us know, and we will return to address it. Depending on the situation, that may include additional cleaning at no charge or an appropriate adjustment to your invoice.
We Take Responsibility
If our crew causes an issue or misses something during the service, we will not make excuses or leave you chasing answers. We will acknowledge the problem, communicate clearly, and work with you on a fair solution as quickly as possible.
