Remove Dust and Buildup Before It Stains

Power washing services in Lubbock that clean siding, fences, driveways, and walkways for residential and light commercial properties.

Your driveway has dark streaks running across the concrete, and the siding on the north side of your home shows green patches where moisture collects. Dust from the wind in Lubbock settles into every surface, and over time it mixes with moisture to create stains that do not wash off with a garden hose. Shepherd Contracting Services uses commercial-grade power washing equipment to remove dirt, mildew, and buildup from exterior surfaces, restoring the original color and preparing the area for staining, painting, or resale.

Exterior cleaning for siding, fences, driveways, and walkways involves adjusting water pressure and nozzle angles based on the material being cleaned. Concrete and brick can handle higher pressure, while wood and vinyl siding require lower settings to avoid damage. In Lubbock, where wind carries fine dust that settles into textured surfaces, power washing clears out the buildup that scrubbing alone cannot reach. The process also removes mildew, algae, and organic matter that grows in shaded areas or where water drains slowly.

If your home or business exterior looks dull or stained, contact Shepherd Contracting Services to schedule a power washing appointment in Lubbock.

Pressure and technique change based on the surface

The crew begins by inspecting the surfaces to identify any loose paint, cracks, or areas that need extra care. They adjust the pressure settings and select the right nozzle for each material, then work in sections to ensure even cleaning without streaks or missed spots. In Lubbock, where sun exposure fades one side of a building faster than the other, power washing reveals the original color and makes the entire exterior look uniform again.

After the cleaning is complete, you will notice the siding looks brighter, the driveway no longer has tire marks or oil stains, and the fence boards show their natural grain instead of a layer of gray dust. Removes dirt, mildew, and buildup caused by West Texas dust and wind, which means the surfaces not only look cleaner but also last longer because contaminants are no longer sitting against the material and holding moisture.

Power washing also prepares surfaces for staining, painting, or resale by removing anything that would prevent coatings from adhering properly. Suitable for residential and light commercial properties, the service works for homes, rental units, small office buildings, and storefronts. The crew can clean large areas quickly, making it a practical option when you need to refresh the appearance of a property before listing it or ahead of a seasonal maintenance schedule.

Here is what most people ask before booking

Homeowners and property managers in Lubbock often have questions about pressure levels, timing, and what surfaces can be cleaned safely, so here are the answers that come up most often.

What surfaces can you power wash without causing damage?
The crew can safely clean concrete, brick, stone, vinyl siding, wood fences, and metal surfaces by adjusting the pressure and spray angle. Delicate materials like older wood or painted trim require lower pressure to avoid stripping the finish.
How long does it take to power wash a typical home?
Most single-story homes take two to three hours to complete, including the driveway and walkways. Larger properties or those with heavy buildup may take longer, depending on the square footage and condition of the surfaces.
Why does mildew keep growing on the north side of my house?
Mildew thrives in shaded areas where moisture does not evaporate quickly, and the north side of your home receives less direct sun. Power washing removes the mildew, but it may return unless you address drainage or trim back vegetation that holds moisture against the siding.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Move any outdoor furniture, planters, or decorations away from the walls and driveway so the crew has clear access. Close all windows and doors, and let the crew know if there are any loose boards or damaged areas they should avoid.
How often should I have my property power washed in Lubbock?
Most homeowners schedule power washing once a year, usually in the spring before temperatures climb or in the fall after dust storms have passed. If you live near a construction site or open field, you may need cleaning more frequently.

When dust, mildew, and stains build up on your siding, driveway, or fence, power washing clears them away and restores the appearance of your property without damaging the surfaces underneath.
