Urbandale is one of the metro's most mid-century-heavy housing markets. The original central streets are dense with 1950s–1970s ranches and split-levels, many on quarter-acre lots with mature oak and maple canopy.
The 1990s–2010s expansion to the west and northwest brought conventional newer subdivisions with vinyl siding and asphalt shingles. Brick is more prevalent here than in the newer fringe suburbs — many original Urbandale homes have full or partial brick exteriors that age well but need different soft-wash chemistry than vinyl.


Urbandale is split between two kinds of concrete. The original central streets — Original Urbandale, Walnut Hills, Northglenn — run to 1950s-70s ranches and split-levels on quarter-acre lots, where driveways and front walks have soaked up decades of oil and tire marks at the apron, so pressure washing here is real rescue.
The newer 1990s-2010s subdivisions west and northwest are the opposite: driveways and paver walks still in good shape, so it's maintenance. All that mature oak and maple leaves tannin staining on slabs and green-black algae on north-facing concrete and shaded patios, heaviest along the wooded Walnut Creek and Stoney Creek corridors. Spring clears salt, fall clears growth.

Real reviews from the families and properties we’ve cared for across central Iowa.
“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.”
“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.”
“Jaxson and his team were great! Had outside windows done this spring. Look great even after recent rains. Great customer service, quality product and reasonable price. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

The things Urbandale homeowners ask us most, before the first visit. Don’t see yours? Just ask.
Yes — JBL Exterior Pros covers every Urbandale neighborhood and ZIP code (50322, 50323, Polk County), from Original Urbandale, Walnut Hills, Northglenn to Lions Park area. We're on Urbandale streets regularly — only 7 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 Urbandale is priced by the size of your home and the scope of the job — every Urbandale 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.
