Pressure & Soft Washing
Pressure Washing in Monroe and Northeast Louisiana
Driveways, siding, roofs, patios, and fences — pressure washed or soft washed, whichever the surface actually needs. From $150, backed by a 4.8 Google rating.
Northeast Louisiana humidity doesn't just make summers sticky — it grows things on your house. Green film creeps up vinyl siding, black streaks spread across shingles, and driveways turn slick with algae after every wet spring. College Bros cleans all of it. We pressure wash the hard surfaces that can take it and soft wash the ones that can't, so your home looks new again without a cracked shingle or a stripped fence board. We're an insured local crew with a 4.8 rating across 48 Google reviews and 5,000+ jobs completed in Monroe, West Monroe, Sterlington, Calhoun, Swartz, and Lakeshore.
Pressure Washing and Soft Washing Are Not the Same Job
Concrete, pavers, and stone can handle high pressure — that's how we lift years of ground-in dirt, tire marks, and algae out of driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Siding, roofs, and painted wood cannot. Hit a shingle roof with a pressure washer and you blast away the granules that protect it; hit vinyl with too much force and you drive water behind the panels. So we soft wash those surfaces instead: low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills algae and mildew at the root, which means the green stays gone instead of creeping back in a month. Knowing which method belongs on which surface is most of this trade, and it's the difference between a wash and a repair bill.
Why Houses Here Get Dirty Faster
Moist air off the Ouachita River and Bayou DeSiard feeds algae and mildew nearly year-round, and the shaded, north-facing side of a house usually goes green first. Spring stacks pollen on every flat surface, and summer storms splash red dirt up the bottom three feet of fences and brick. We run washing routes through Monroe and West Monroe every week, with regular stops in Sterlington, Calhoun, Swartz, and Lakeshore — so when you reach out, you're not waiting on a crew from out of town.
Pricing is straightforward: driveway and concrete cleaning starts at $150, house and roof soft washing starts at $200, and most complete projects land between $150 and $1,000 depending on square footage and buildup. You'll have a firm number before we start — see the full breakdown on our pricing page, or book online and we'll confirm your quote the same day.
What We Wash
House Soft Washing
Vinyl, brick, stucco, and painted siding cleaned at low pressure with a solution that removes green algae, mildew, and grime without forcing water behind panels or stripping paint. Starts at $200.
Roof Soft Washing
Those black streaks on your shingles are algae, and they spread until the whole roof looks a decade older than it is. We treat them with a roof-safe soft wash — never a pressure washer — so the protective granules on your shingles stay put.
Driveway & Sidewalk Cleaning
Ground-in dirt, tire marks, and slick algae lifted out of concrete for an even, like-new finish from the street to your front door — no zebra stripes, no missed lanes. From $150.
Patio, Fence & Deck Cleaning
Concrete and paver patios, wood and vinyl fences, and decks each get pressure matched to the material — enough to clean it, never enough to splinter wood or etch the surface.
Gutter Brightening
We scrub the outside faces of your gutters to remove the gray oxidation streaks — the tiger stripes — that an ordinary rinse won't touch, so they match your freshly washed siding.
Pre-Listing Curb Appeal
Selling soon? A clean roof, bright siding, and fresh-looking concrete change how a home photographs and shows. We can wash all of it in a single visit before your photographer arrives.

What Your Neighbors Say
These guys are the real deal. Showed up on time, did an incredible job on our yard, and the price was more than fair. We've used them three times now and they never disappoint.
I needed my house soft washed before putting it on the market. College Bros made it look brand new. The buyer's agent even complimented how clean everything was. Worth every penny.
We manage several rental properties and College Bros handles all of them. Reliable, affordable, and they communicate better than companies twice their size. Highly recommend.
Had them do a full spring cleanup — leaf removal, mulching, bush trimming, the works. My yard hasn't looked this good in years. Already booked them for monthly maintenance.
Professional, courteous, and they do incredible work. I've tried other lawn services in Monroe and none of them compare. College Bros is the only crew I trust with my property.
They pressure washed our entire driveway, sidewalks, and back patio. It looks like we just poured new concrete. Absolutely amazing transformation. Will be using them again.
Pressure Washing Questions, Answered
How much does pressure washing cost in Monroe, LA?
College Bros pressure washing starts at $150 for driveways and sidewalks, and house and roof soft washing starts at $200. Most complete projects in the Monroe area fall between $150 and $1,000 depending on square footage, the surfaces involved, and how heavy the buildup is.

What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean hard surfaces like concrete driveways, sidewalks, and paver patios. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to kill algae, mildew, and bacteria on delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, shingle roofs, and painted wood. Soft washing cleans by chemistry instead of force, so it's safe on materials a pressure washer would damage — and because it kills growth at the root, the surface stays clean longer.
Will pressure washing damage my roof or siding?
High pressure on the wrong surface absolutely can — it strips the protective granules off shingles, forces water behind vinyl siding, and etches soft brick. That's why College Bros never points a pressure washer at a roof or siding. Those surfaces get a low-pressure soft wash instead, which cleans them without any of that risk. We're insured, and every job ends with a walkthrough so you can check each surface yourself.
How often should I have my house washed in Louisiana?
Once a year is the right rhythm for most Northeast Louisiana homes. Our humidity feeds algae and mildew nearly year-round, so siding that was spotless in spring can show green again by the next summer — especially on shaded, north-facing walls. Driveways typically need cleaning every year or two, and roofs every two to three years, depending on tree cover and shade.
How soon can you schedule a pressure washing near Monroe?
We respond the same day you reach out, and most washes are completed within the week — our crews already run weekly routes through Monroe and West Monroe, so you're rarely waiting long. The fastest way onto the schedule is to book online, which takes about a minute, or you can call or text (318) 600-9123.
Do you offer pressure washing in West Monroe, Sterlington, and the surrounding areas?
Yes. College Bros washes homes across Monroe, West Monroe, Sterlington, Calhoun, Swartz, and Lakeshore, including Monroe neighborhoods like the Garden District and River Oaks. Crews cross the river into West Monroe daily and make regular runs up to Sterlington. Your city's page has the local details: West Monroe pressure washing or Sterlington pressure washing.
How long does a pressure washing job take?
Most driveways take a couple of hours, and a full house soft wash usually wraps up in half a day. Bigger projects that combine the house, roof, driveway, and fence can run most of a day. We confirm a time window when you book, and the crew walks the finished job with you before leaving.
Do I need to be home during the wash?
No — most exterior washes don't require anyone home. Before we arrive, just close your windows, unlock any gates, and move vehicles off the driveway or away from the house. If you'd rather be there for the initial walkthrough or the final inspection, we're happy to schedule around that; otherwise we'll confirm everything by phone or text.
