Full House Washing in Gilbert, AZ:
What Apex Cleans Top to Bottom

A lot of homeowners ask us: "What exactly does a full house wash cover?" It's a fair question — the term gets thrown around a lot, but what you're actually getting varies from company to company. At Apex Power Washing, when we say "top to bottom," we mean it.

We've done full house washes across Gilbert, Queen Creek, Chandler, Mesa, and Scottsdale. Here's exactly what that service covers and why Gilbert homeowners are scheduling it once or twice a year.

What's Included in a Full House Wash

A complete exterior cleaning from Apex typically covers all of the following:

• Exterior walls — stucco, painted block, and brick all cleaned at the right pressure to remove dust, cobwebs, oxidation, and mildew
• Fascia and soffits — the horizontal trim pieces under your roofline trap dust and wasp nests; we hit them every time
• Window exteriors — we clean glass and frames as part of the house wash; stubborn hard water spots may need a separate window cleaning treatment
• Window screens — these get rinsed and cleaned as we go
• Garage door exterior — often the dirtiest part of the front elevation
• Front entry and porch area — including the porch ceiling which accumulates spider webs and dust
• Driveway apron — the section directly in front of the garage as part of the package

Real House Washing Jobs in the East Valley

Gilbert — Annual Exterior Clean

One of our Gilbert customers books us every year for her annual full exterior cleaning. Her house is a standard two-story stucco with a three-car garage — common in this part of the East Valley. After twelve months of Arizona dust and monsoon season, the walls go from bright white to a dusty tan. After our cleaning, it looks like the day it was built. She called us to tell us she was "super happy" with the result.

Scottsdale — House, Windows, and Patio Combo

A full house, window, and patio wash is one of our most popular combo packages. This Scottsdale job included the full exterior of a large single-story home plus windows and a travertine patio. The result was a completely refreshed look — like the home had gotten a new coat of paint without actually needing one.

Arizona (Various) — Seasonal Cleanup Before Decorating

One of our favorite calls is from customers who say they started decorating for the holidays and suddenly noticed how dirty the house was. That was exactly the case for one client who booked a house wash and window cleaning together. The contrast when you start hanging lights on a clean house versus a dusty one is dramatic — it's worth doing right before the season kicks off.

House Washing vs. Pressure Washing: What's the Difference?

Most people use these terms interchangeably, but there is a difference. Pressure washing uses high-force water to blast surfaces — it's great for concrete, pavers, and driveways. House washing (sometimes called soft washing) uses lower pressure with a cleaning solution, which is safer for painted stucco, wood trim, and window frames.

At Apex, we use the right technique for each surface. Stucco gets soft washed. Concrete gets pressure washed. We don't apply the same settings to everything — that's how paint gets stripped and surfaces get damaged.

How Often Should You Wash Your House in Arizona?

Once a year is our standard recommendation for most East Valley homes. If you live near a construction zone or on a dusty road, twice a year makes sense. If you're preparing to sell your home, a house wash should happen before your listing photos are taken — it makes a significant visual difference that shows up clearly on camera.
