Exterior cleaning for Portland homeowners
We Hit Bottom is based in Portland, Tennessee, so when you call for a quote you are talking to a neighbor, not a dispatch center in another county. Portland sits on the Highland Rim in the far north of Middle Tennessee, with Sumner County to the south and Robertson County to the west, and the quiet streets, big yards and hilly lots around town are exactly the kind of homes we know how to clean.
Portland has been growing fast, but it still has the feel of the strawberry capital of Tennessee. That mix of long-time family homes, newer subdivisions and farm properties means every job is a little different. We bring hot water pressure washing for concrete and soft washing for siding, roofs and brick, and we match the method to the surface rather than blasting everything the same way.

What Portland homes deal with
Portland homes face a particular set of exterior problems. Red clay from surrounding farmland splashes onto brick and the lower courses of siding with every hard rain. Tall hardwoods and pines drop pollen and sap on roofs and driveways. And because Portland sits in humid Middle Tennessee, shaded north walls and covered porches turn green with algae within a season or two.
Many Portland homes are brick ranches and two-story vinyl-sided houses built from the 1970s through the 2010s. For brick we use gentle soft wash cleaning to lift clay without eroding mortar, and for roofs we use roof soft washing to kill the black algae streaks that show up on north and east slopes. Concrete driveways, which are everywhere on larger Portland lots, get hot water pressure washing so oil and tire marks actually come up.
