LA SOFT WASH
Lobdell/Woodale Pressure Washing
for Aging Brick, Painted Wood, and Shingle
Lobdell/Woodale is one of the most rental-heavy neighborhoods in the area, and a lot of the cleaning calls here come from owners getting a property ready between tenants, ahead of a listing, or in front of a city inspection. The work runs to a real timeline, and our crews show up ready to deliver a fast turnaround. Pressure washing and soft washing are how the property gets prepared for the next showing, the next inspection, or the next move-in.
The neighborhood is built mostly from brick-veneer ranch and painted-wood cottage homes sitting under aging asphalt shingle roofs that the local climate has streaked for years. Our soft wash system runs the chemistry-led work on those roofs, brick mortar joints, and painted wood at the low pressure each surface calls for. Pressure rigs handle the original ribbon driveways, mid-century concrete, and other flatwork engineered for higher pressure.
Call us at 225-337-7771 to talk through pricing on a single home or a small portfolio, with same-week turnaround on most jobs. We provide a clear cost range by unit count and surface mix on the call, so you know exactly what to expect before scheduling.

Why Lobdell/Woodale Owners and Managers
Book LA Softwash
Insurance Active From the Quote Through the Final Walk
Every job runs under active insurance coverage on every visit. Your work order arrives with a written pre-work guide that spells out what we will do, what we need from you, and what to expect on the day.
Three Plant-Watering Passes on Every Job
Plants get a water spritz before any chemistry hits, another spritz during the wash, and a final rinse when we wrap. Roof cleanings finish with a neutralizer pass through the surrounding beds.
Six Years of Cleaning Aging Brick, Painted Wood, and Shingle
Six years of soft wash and pressure wash work in this market means we know what the older surface mix here calls for. We adjust chemistry strength for aged mortar joints, hold to pH-neutral handling on long-painted wood, and use the lightest possible touch on older shingle so it comes clean without losing granules.
No Deposit Required to Lock In Your Service Date
The signed work order is all we need to confirm the appointment. Payment is collected once the job is done and you have looked over the after-photos.
Soft Wash System Running at 150 to 200 PSI
Our soft wash unit is its own dedicated commercial-grade machine, running around 150 to 200 PSI at the pump. That is the correct pressure for aging asphalt shingles, painted wood, and the other surfaces across this neighborhood that call for low pressure and the right chemistry.

How a Lobdell/Woodale Pressure Washing Job Moves
From Call to Cleanup
Quick Quote, Multi-Property Walk on Larger Portfolios
Most residential quotes are measured online and returned the same day with a phone call. Multi-property bookings and Florida Boulevard commercial buildings get an on-site walk first so we can check water access, surface condition, and the unit-by-unit scope before we put a price together.
Signed Work Order and Insurance Confirmation
When price and date are set, you receive a formal work order with an approval link, copied to our insurance carrier. The pre-work guide attached to it covers plant protection, water access, payment options, and the rest of what you need to know before the crew arrives.
Property Setup and Overspray Protection
The day of the job, every electrical outlet, ceiling fan, and TV that could catch overspray gets taped and covered. On commercial work, metal-frame door joints get the same treatment. Cones and caution tape go up wherever traffic needs to be controlled.
Surface-by-Surface Method Selection
Our bleach-and-soap chemistry gets dialed in based on the substrate and the algae load. Flatwork gets pre-treated and then pressure washed, with concrete under three years old kept on the soft-wash side. House washes carry from soffit and fascia down to ground level, including porches, patios, and windows.
Plant Watering Cycle and Landscape Reset
The plant routine is a spritz before chemistry, a spritz during the wash, and a final rinse when we finish. Lobdell/Woodale yards often hold camellias, azaleas, and hydrangeas right against the foundation, so we slow the rinse down and make sure the beds are flushed. Roof cleanings finish with a neutralizer pass across the surrounding landscape because that chemistry runs hotter.
After-Photo Set and Invoice
A complete set of after-photos lands in your inbox at the end of the job, giving you a record of the finished work whether you were on site or not. Final payment runs through the link in your work order packet.
LA SOFT WASH
Lobdell/Woodale Service Rates, Bundle Discounts,
and Recurring Savings
Our pricing is straightforward. The numbers below are starting points, with final cost depending on access, story height, and the condition of the surface.
| Service | Starting Price |
|---|---|
| House Washing | $0.20 to $0.30 per square foot under roof |
| Roof Cleaning | $0.30 to $0.60 per square foot |
| Window Cleaning | $2 to $30 per pane |
| Window Tinting | $10 to $15 per square foot (30-year warranty) |
| Gutter Cleaning | $1 to $4 per linear foot |
| Driveway and Concrete Cleaning | $0.10 to $0.18 per square foot |
| Deck and Patio Cleaning | $0.15 per square foot ($300 minimum) |
| Solar Panel Cleaning | $10 per panel |
The combined total on a house wash and a concrete cleaning runs 5% off when both are booked together, and adding a roof cleaning to that same booking takes the bundle to 10% off.
Recurring customers don’t pay one-time rates, which keeps the per-visit cost manageable on properties cleaned year after year. The annual house wash comes in around 5% off the standard rate, so a $500 wash settles in at $475 each year. Biannual and quarterly window cleaning unlock progressively deeper discounts as visits get more frequent, and storefronts, drive-throughs, sidewalks, and parking lots fold into commercial recurring contracts at custom rates set against your maintenance schedule.
What Lobdell/Woodale Customers Get
in Writing on Every Job
The promises below stand behind every job we take on, giving you a clear picture of what we will deliver from quote to final walkthrough.
Plants Replaced for 45 Days After the Job
The plants inside our work zone are covered for 45 days from the day we wrap. When a covered plant does not push new growth or come back strong inside that window, we handle the replacement at no cost to you.
Active Coverage From Truck Arrival to Departure
Coverage is part of every job, residential or commercial. It rolls onto your property with the truck and stays in place from setup to the final walk.
Three-Year Roof Warranty Against Biological Return
A clean roof should stay clean. Every roof cleaning carries a three-year warranty against the return of biological staining, and if algae or moss comes back inside that window, the next clean is on us.
Honest Conversation About Older Shingle Before the Wash
A shingle roof past its prime can finish a clean with some natural variation, and we walk through that with you upfront. When we see those conditions during the estimate, we take photos, explain the expected finished look, and let you decide before any work starts.
Six years, Zero Unhappy Customers
In six years of business in Lobdell/Woodale, no customer has ever demanded a refund or told us the work fell short.
Proudly Serving Lobdell/Woodale's
Mid-Century Streetscape
Lobdell/Woodale runs on a distinctive mid-century streetscape, with the crepe myrtle frontage along Wooddale Boulevard and the older ranch and cottage stretches that thread between the parks. We know the original concrete that calls for different chemistry than the re-poured stretches next to it, the painted-wood trim that takes the gentlest mix on the truck, and the aging shingle roofs that need the lightest possible pressure to come clean.
A few of the local anchors that frame our service area:
- Wooddale Boulevard
- North Lobdell Boulevard
- Cezanne Avenue
- Goodwood Homesites
- Melrose Place subdivision
- Milton J. Womack Park
- Florida Boulevard commercial corridor
Fast turnaround is the norm here because the work is usually tied to a move-in date, a listing photo shoot, or a property inspection, and we plan the schedule around those windows.

May and June are the heaviest months in this neighborhood because spring move-ins concentrate around those dates and the crepe myrtle drop has just begun staining concrete. Call 225-337-7771 to lock in a free quote and your preferred service window.
