EverGlow Exteriors · West Des Moines Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning · (515) 642-1986

West Des Moines is really three towns wearing one name. There’s historic Valley Junction, where hundred-year-old bungalows have original wood siding and wavy glass. There’s the middle band of 70s–90s neighborhoods with mature trees. And there’s everything west of Jordan Creek — big two-stories on lots the sprinklers keep green and the wind keeps dusty. Cleaning West Des Moines right means knowing which house you’re standing in front of.

EverGlow Exteriors works all three. One insured local crew for house washing, pressure washing, windows, gutters, roofs and decks across West Des Moines — with the judgment to throttle way down on an 1910s clapboard and reach way up on a three-story walkout in Forest Pointe.

House Washing — From Clapboard to Cement Board

A Valley Junction bungalow with 100-year-old painted wood cannot take what a new vinyl two-story shrugs off. That’s why we soft wash everything: low pressure, correct detergent, adjusted dwell time per surface. Old paint stays on the house, new siding warranties stay intact, and the algae dies either way. If a section of paint is already failing, we’ll flag it and work around it rather than peel it for you. Full details on the house washing page.

Window Cleaning for Two-Stories and Old Glass

Jordan Creek-area two-stories have windows 25 feet up that haven’t been properly cleaned since the builder left. We reach them with water-fed poles and ladders — inside and out, screens and tracks included. On the Valley Junction end, we hand-clean original single-pane and storm windows gently enough for glass with a century of character. Sprinkler hard-water spots removed too. Pricing on the window cleaning page.

Driveway, Patio & Concrete Pressure Washing

West Des Moines concrete runs the same range as its houses: 90-year-old sidewalks stained by decades of tree litter, and bright new driveways showing every rust dot and tire mark. We surface-clean both evenly, treat rust, tannin and oil spots individually, and can seal newer concrete against Iowa road salt. Walkthrough and pricing on the pressure washing page.

Gutter Cleaning in West Des Moines

The wooded lots around Forest Pointe and the mature mid-city neighborhoods pack gutters full every fall, and the tall new builds west of Jordan Creek have gutters high enough that nobody’s looked in them for years. We hand-clear, flush downspouts, and send you photos of the clean gutters from the ladder — proof, not promises. Two-story and three-story homes are our normal, not a surcharge surprise. See the gutter cleaning page.

Roof Washing in West Des Moines

Black streaks show up hard on the big light-colored roofs common west of Jordan Creek, and shaded older rooflines near Valley Junction collect moss on the north slope. Both get the same fix: a low-pressure soft wash that kills the growth without touching a granule. No pressure washing shingles, ever — that’s how roofs lose ten years. If your roof looks dirty but isn’t old, read the roof washing page before calling a roofer.

Deck & Porch Washing

West Des Moines gives us everything from original Valley Junction porch boards to brand-new composite decks overlooking Jordan Creek walkouts. Wood gets low pressure and a wood-safe cleaner so the grain doesn’t fur; composite gets the manufacturer-approved treatment that won’t scratch or void the warranty. Either way the green film and gray weathering come off and the outdoor season starts clean. Before-and-afters on the deck washing page.

Why West Des Moines Homes Get Dirty

Depends on your zip code within the city. Valley Junction and the older core: mature-tree shade holds moisture on north-side siding, and old porous surfaces — original paint, weathered concrete — grab and hold grime. Out west: sprinkler overspray leaves hard-water spotting on glass and siding, open-ground wind dust films everything, and big unshaded wall faces show algae shadows within a few seasons. Same Iowa climate underneath it all — freeze-thaw winters, humid summers, heavy spring pollen. Different houses, different plan, same result: clean.

West Des Moines FAQ

Is soft washing safe for my old Valley Junction wood siding?

Yes — soft washing exists for exactly this. Pressure low enough that it wouldn’t lift a bandage, with the detergent doing the work. Sound paint stays put. If paint is already flaking, we’ll show you before we start and either work around it or let you decide; we don’t strip your house and call it cleaning.

Can you reach the high windows on my two-story near Jordan Creek?

Yes. Water-fed poles reach 30-plus feet from the ground, and we ladder what needs hand detail. Third-story dormers, walkout rears, windows over sunrooms — all normal jobs for us, quoted upfront with no “we didn’t realize it was tall” add-ons.

We’re listing our house — can you get it photo-ready?

That’s one of our most common West Des Moines jobs. A house wash, window clean and driveway wash before listing photos typically costs a few hundred dollars and changes how every photo reads. We can usually schedule within the week; tell us your photographer’s date and we’ll beat it.

Do you serve all of West Des Moines, including the Dallas County side?

Yes — Valley Junction to the Raccoon River valley, and everything annexed west into Dallas County. If your address says West Des Moines, we’re your crew.
