Advice

How often should I wash my house?

Every 1 to 2 years for most homes, yearly for dark shaded areas. Roofs every 3 to 5 years, gutters cleaned out once a year.

House washing

Every 1 to 2 years keeps siding from ever reaching the point where staining sets in.

Dark shaded areas should be done every year — they hold moisture and grow algae faster than the rest of the house.

Roofs should be done once every 3 to 5 years.

Gutters should be cleaned out once a year. In heavy tree areas, two times a year.

Bottom line

Put the house on a 1 to 2 year schedule, gutters yearly, and the roof every 3 to 5 years.
