Exterior cleaning for Franklin homeowners
Franklin is the county seat of Simpson County, Kentucky, about 10 miles north of our Portland base, right along Interstate 65 and US 31W on the Kentucky-Tennessee border. It was incorporated in 1820 and named for Benjamin Franklin, and it has a quiet small-city feel with a historic downtown and neighborhoods spreading out toward farms.
We treat Franklin as a priority area because it is so close to home. Our crews cross the line regularly for house washing, driveway cleaning, roof soft washing, and brick cleaning, and we are happy to quote smaller commercial exteriors around downtown.

What Franklin homes deal with
Franklin has older brick and frame homes near downtown and newer neighborhoods on the edges. Red clay and farm dust move onto brick, and shaded siding grows algae in the humid climate. Concrete driveways and walks collect oil, leaf stains and algae. Commercial buildings near US 31W and I-65 get road film and mildew.
Gentle soft washing fits older homes, brick cleaning removes clay, and hot water driveway cleaning makes concrete look new. Pair them with gutter exteriors and windows for a full refresh.
