Summer is a season full of outdoor activity—family barbecues, backyard parties, and long evenings spent on the deck. But it’s also the perfect time to give your home’s exterior the deep clean it deserves. Specifically, your driveway and deck can benefit tremendously from professional pressure washing during the warmer months.
At McLouth Services, we specialize in expert pressure washing and roof cleaning that not only improves your home’s curb appeal but also extends the life of key outdoor surfaces. Whether your concrete driveway is stained with oil and grime or your wooden deck is covered in algae and mildew, summer offers the ideal conditions for a full refresh.
Let’s explore why summer is the best time for pressure washing your driveway and deck—and how McLouth Services can help transform your home’s exterior.
Summer Offers Ideal Weather Conditions for Pressure Washing
Unlike spring’s unpredictable rain or fall’s cooler temps, summer typically provides:
Warm, dry days that help surfaces dry quickly after cleaning
Longer daylight hours, giving crews more time to work
Consistent weather, which reduces rescheduling or delays
Ideal temperature for eco-friendly cleaning solutions to activate and break down dirt and bacteria effectively
This makes summer the most efficient and effective time for scheduling pressure washing services, especially for high-traffic, outdoor surfaces like your driveway and deck.

Why Driveway Pressure Washing Matters
Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they arrive at your home. Over time, it collects:
Oil and grease stains
Tire marks
Algae, mildew, and moss
Dirt, debris, and discoloration from weather and foot traffic
Without regular cleaning, these contaminants not only make your home look neglected—they can also erode your concrete or asphalt, leading to cracks and surface damage. Summer is the perfect time to tackle these issues and restore your driveway’s appearance and durability.
✅ Let McLouth Services handle the heavy lifting with professional pressure washing solutions.
The Importance of Deck Pressure Washing in Summer
Your deck is a go-to spot for summer entertaining, but if it’s been sitting all winter under leaves, rain, and mildew, it needs more than just a sweep. Mold and algae on wood or composite decking can become slippery hazards and even lead to structural damage over time.
Summer’s dry heat helps lift deep-set grime and allows your deck to dry thoroughly after washing, preventing further mold growth.
Benefits of deck pressure washing include:
Restoring natural color and texture of the wood
Preventing rot and premature aging
Creating a safer, non-slip surface for family and guests
Preparing the surface for staining or sealing
Why Pair Driveway and Deck Cleaning with Roof Cleaning
While you’re focusing on the exterior of your home this summer, don’t overlook what’s above—your roof.
A roof covered in black streaks, moss, or mold isn’t just an eyesore. It traps heat, deteriorates shingles, and can even cause leaks or water damage. That’s why roof cleaning should be part of your summer maintenance checklist.
At McLouth Services, we use a safe, effective soft washing method for roof cleaning. This low-pressure approach removes harmful organic growth without damaging your shingles.

Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing: What’s the Difference?
While both cleaning methods have their place, it’s important to know the difference—especially when scheduling summer maintenance.
| Cleaning Method | Pressure Washing | Soft Washing |
|---|---|---|
| Water Pressure | High (1,300–3,000+ PSI) | Low (under 500 PSI) |
| Best For | Concrete, brick, wood decks, hardscapes | Roofs, siding, painted surfaces |
| Uses Chemicals | Rarely | Yes – eco-friendly cleaning agents |
| Risk to Surfaces | Moderate (if misused) | Minimal – gentle and safe for delicate areas |
If your summer checklist includes roof cleaning, McLouth Services will always opt for our proven soft washing system to ensure no damage while achieving lasting results.
