Exterior cleaning for Cross Plains homeowners
Cross Plains was the first part of Robertson County settled by Europeans, when Revolutionary War veteran Thomas Kilgore arrived on the Middle Fork of the Red River in 1778 and built a stockade known as Kilgore Station. Today it is a small city between Springfield and Gallatin, right where State Route 25 meets Interstate 65 at exit 112, with a mix of historic downtown buildings, family farmland and newer neighborhoods.
Cross Plains is about 10 miles from our Portland base, which makes it an easy trip for house washing, driveway cleaning, roof soft washing and everything else we do. Rural lots, older brick homes and mature trees are the norm here, and each of those calls for a thoughtful approach rather than blasting everything with pressure.

What Cross Plains homes deal with
Cross Plains homes range from late 1800s farmhouses and brick bungalows to ranch houses built in the 1970s and 80s and newer builds on larger parcels. The shade from big oaks and the humid Middle Tennessee climate mean green algae on north-facing walls, mildew on porches and decks, and pollen that settles on everything each spring.
We often combine a gentle house wash with a brick cleaning, a porch and patio cleaning, and a fence cleaning on one trip, which keeps costs down and gives you a consistent clean from the roofline to the walkway.
