— Why Altoona homes need this
Pressure Washing, the Altoona way.
The homes
Altoona has expanded fast — most of its housing footprint is 2000s–present subdivisions north and east of the original town core, mixing single-family and townhome construction. The conventional metro-suburban template applies: vinyl siding with stone-veneer fronts, asphalt shingles, attached 2- and 3-car garages, large gabled elevations.
Older Altoona near the original main street has 1940s–60s homes with more brick and more original wood trim. Some properties near Adventureland and Prairie Meadows are commercial-edge — service businesses, hotels, and a few older homes that predate the entertainment-corridor development.
On the concrete here
Because most of Altoona's housing footprint went up from the 2000s on, the driveways, patios, and paver walkways across the north and east subdivisions are still in good shape — pressure washing here is maintenance, not rescue. Crawford Creek, Brookview, and Centennial Park-area lots run to decorative and stamped concrete and front walks, while the standard two- and three-car driveways carry the usual buildup: oil and tire marks at the apron, plus extra embedded grime and highway dust where lots sit near the Highway 65 corridor.
Original Altoona's older 1940s-60s slabs hold a deeper oil soak and more set-in staining, and shaded, north-facing concrete picks up that green-black algae film. Spring clears the winter salt residue, fall clears the summer's growth — that's the cadence most Altoona homes run.

What central Iowa homeowners are saying.
Real reviews from the families and properties we’ve cared for across central Iowa.
“Very dependable folks who do great work — I've got their number filed. Window cleaning, power-spray decks, sidewalks, driveways. These kids do it all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.”
“I asked for a quote. We agreed on a price, shook hands and said let's do it. When I came back from vacation, JBL had done a great job power washing my house. I was so pleased I asked for a sign to put in my yard.”
“Various projects with this company, and I can't say enough great things about the work, the customer service, and the personalized expertise of the owners. Their pricing got me to try them — and their work far exceeds what they charge.”
“They are a fantastic crew. Came and cleaned all the windows in a professional manner and with very little interruption. I highly recommend them — we couldn't be more pleased!”
“We used JBL Exterior Pros for a complete exterior soft washing of our home and are extremely happy with the results. The work was completed exactly as promised and on schedule. A team of four arrived promptly, were professional and courteous, and did an exceptional job with minimal disruption.”
“Tatum was great to work with, and gave our windows a much needed cleaning after winter.”

Pressure washing questions, answered.
The things Altoona homeowners ask us most, before the first visit. Don’t see yours? Just ask.
Yes — JBL Exterior Pros covers every Altoona neighborhood and ZIP code (50009, Polk County), from Original Altoona, Bayard, Brookside to Adventureland Estates. We're on Altoona streets regularly — only 8 miles from downtown Des Moines.
Not when done right. We calibrate pressure to the surface — pavers get lower pressure to avoid lifting joint sand, concrete can handle more. We adjust the rig setup before starting based on what we see during the walk-through, so the pressure doesn't exceed what the surface can take.
Yes when needed. We can re-sand with polymeric joint sand as a separate add-on. We'll recommend it during the walk-through if your pavers need it.
We pre-treat them. Old, set-in oil rarely lifts 100%, but most stains improve significantly. We'll set expectations during the quote.
Pressure washing in Altoona is priced by the size of your home and the scope of the job — every Altoona property is a little different. Every quote is free and walked in person within one business day, so the price reflects the actual home, not a flat rate.
We strongly recommend soft washing for wood decks — high pressure raises grain, splinters, and strips stain. Pressure cleaning is fine for the concrete patio next to the deck, but the wood itself should be soft-washed with deck-safe chemistry.
Yes. Sealed concrete can take 2500–3000 PSI through a surface cleaner. Pavers need lower pressure (1500–2000 PSI) plus careful overlap to avoid lifting joint sand. Stamped concrete sits in between. We adjust the rig setup at the property before starting.
Only if you want it to. Pressure washing can intentionally remove failing paint as prep for repainting — we set the pressure for that purpose if it's the goal. Otherwise we calibrate pressure to clean without disturbing intact finishes.
Right away on cleaned concrete and pavers. If we apply a sealer, it needs 24 hours dry time for foot traffic and 48 hours for vehicles. We'll cone the area and confirm the schedule on the day of service.
