Professional Power Washing in Austin, TX
ABC Home & Commercial Services provides expert power washing and specialized soft washing for residential properties throughout the Austin metropolitan area. Led by Service Manager Jimmy Pollard and overseen by Steve Ambrose, our exterior specialists utilize precision pressure technology and eco-friendly solutions to safely restore your home’s surfaces—from driveways and decks to delicate limestone and stucco.
Surface-Safe Restoration Led by Local Experts
Not every surface can handle high pressure. In the Central Texas environment, using the wrong technique on Austin limestone or older wood siding can cause permanent damage. Under the leadership of Jimmy Pollard, who has over 10 years of experience serving ABC customers, our team is trained to evaluate the “PSI threshold” of every material before we begin.
The ABC Advantage for Power Washing:
- Decades of Property Oversight: Our exterior division is directed by Steve Ambrose, a 40-year Austin resident and a 40-year veteran of ABC Home & Commercial Services. Steve’s four decades of institutional wisdom and his 30 years of management experience ensure that our cleaning processes protect your home’s “envelope” while enhancing its curb appeal.
- Family-Owned Integrity vs. Corporate Chains: While many national power washing franchises have moved into the Austin market under national corporate investment groups, ABC remains a fiercely independent, family-owned institution. We prioritize the long-term integrity of your masonry and siding over the “quick-sale” targets of distant shareholders.
- Integrated Structural Expertise: Because our exterior cleaning team works alongside our Handyman and Home Improvement divisions, we bring a builder’s perspective to every project. We understand how water pressure interacts with seals, joints, and porous stone, ensuring we restore the beauty of your home without compromising its structural defenses.

The ABC Difference: Professional Surface Evaluation
A “one-size-fits-all” approach to power washing often leads to etched concrete or ruined wood. Every ABC project begins with a Surface Health Check. We determine the optimal balance of pressure and cleaning solution for your specific home, ensuring a pristine result without any risk of structural harm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard high-pressure washing can “etch” or pit native Austin limestone. ABC utilizes a specialized “Soft Wash” approach for stone surfaces, using low pressure and eco-friendly cleaning agents to lift deep-seated algae and mold while preserving the integrity of the masonry.
Power washing uses high-velocity water (high PSI) to physically strip grime from hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses a low-pressure system (similar to a garden hose) combined with specialized cleaning solutions to kill organic growth like mold and mildew at the source. Soft washing is the industry standard for roofs, siding, and delicate stone.
Yes. Jimmy Pollard’s team utilizes biodegradable, eco-conscious cleaning agents designed to be tough on environmental stains but gentle on Austin-native landscaping and pets. We follow a strict safety protocol that includes pre-wetting all surrounding plants to ensure they remain protected.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Luci Miller
“I tried to use other smaller services before going to ABC. No one REALLY helped me with my rodent problem, which is always a tricky one. Many of us in Austin have those critters and ABC has been good and solid at refilling bait stations, checking traps, etc. etc.. I also use them for my Pest Control and mosquito sprays and they do a wonderful job. I particularly enjoy the Care that William and Jennifer give me I wish I had their last names!”
Kevin Patterson
