Complete home exterior restoration — from roof to driveway — for Atlanta-area homeowners
Your home is likely the largest asset you own, and its exterior is the first thing neighbors, visitors, and potential buyers see. Georgia's humid subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for organic growth — algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and moss establish themselves on every exterior surface within months. Left untreated, these organisms do more than look bad: they degrade roofing materials, stain concrete permanently, rot wood decking, and clog gutters with compacted debris. Rare Earth Ltd provides comprehensive residential exterior cleaning services that reverse years of buildup, restore curb appeal, and extend the service life of every surface we treat.
We serve homeowners throughout metro Atlanta, including Stone Mountain, Decatur, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Tucker, Brookhaven, and Milton. Our crews are licensed, insured, and trained on both pressure washing and soft-washing techniques, ensuring the right method is applied to every surface.
Full exterior house washing is the foundation of any residential cleaning program. We remove algae, mold, mildew, dirt, spider webs, oxidation, and pollen from all siding types — vinyl, fiber cement, stucco, brick, wood, and EIFS. Our soft-wash system applies biodegradable cleaning solutions that kill biological growth at the root rather than just blasting it off the surface. This means cleaner results that last significantly longer than pressure-only methods, with zero risk of damage to paint, caulking, or window seals.

Black streaking on asphalt shingle roofs is caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles. Ignoring it accelerates shingle granule loss, reduces reflectivity (increasing cooling costs), and shortens the functional life of your roof by years. Our roof cleaning service uses ARMA-recommended low-pressure soft-wash techniques with professional-grade biocidal treatments that eliminate the bacteria, algae, and moss without voiding your shingle manufacturer's warranty.
We also treat lichen — the most stubborn roof organism — with extended-dwell treatments that dissolve the holdfast without physical scrubbing. City-specific roof cleaning pages: Roswell | Alpharetta | Marietta | Decatur | Sandy Springs | Dunwoody | Stone Mountain
Concrete driveways, walkways, and patios accumulate oil stains, tire marks, mold, algae, and embedded dirt that a garden hose cannot touch. Our driveway cleaning service uses surface cleaners — rotating bar nozzle attachments that produce uniform, streak-free results across the full concrete surface — combined with hot water and degreaser pre-treatment for oil and grease spots. The result is a surface that looks close to the day it was poured. We also seal concrete after cleaning upon request, extending the clean appearance and protecting against future staining.

Wood and composite decks require careful cleaning to remove mold, mildew, and grey weathering without raising the grain or splintering the wood. We adjust pressure and chemical concentration based on deck material — treated pine, cedar, Trex, Fiberon, and Azek all have different tolerances. Our deck cleaning process restores natural color and prepares the surface for staining or sealing. We also clean vinyl, wood, aluminum, and chain-link fencing to restore appearance and prevent organic degradation.

Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of foundation damage, fascia rot, and basement water intrusion. Our gutter cleaning service removes all debris — leaves, pine needles, seed pods, shingle granules — and flushes downspouts to verify clear flow. We inspect for sags, loose hangers, and disconnected joints during every cleaning and provide a written assessment with our findings. Gutter brightening (exterior staining removal) is available as an add-on service.

Our seasonal cleaning packages bundle multiple services at a reduced combined rate. Spring packages typically include house washing, driveway cleaning, deck cleaning, and gutter flush. Fall packages focus on gutter clearing and roof treatment ahead of winter. Annual maintenance agreements provide the best per-service value and include priority scheduling throughout the year.
Every residential job begins with a walkthrough of the property — either in person for larger projects or via photos and description for straightforward jobs. We provide a written estimate within 24 hours. On service day, our crew arrives in marked vehicles, sets up water containment where needed, and walks you through the work scope before starting. Most residential cleanings are completed in a single visit. We clean up after ourselves completely — no debris left on landscaping, vehicles, or adjacent surfaces.
All residential work is covered by our general liability insurance policy. We are fully bonded and carry workers' compensation on all field employees. References from residential customers in your area are available upon request.
