Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning in Clovis, CA

What Clovis Properties Are Up Against

Clovis built out fast and built out east, so most of the city is newer tile roofs, stucco elevations and wide paved footprints sitting a few blocks from working ranch and orchard ground. That combination is what drives almost every call we take here.

Start with the roofs. Harlan Ranch, Loma Vista, Buchanan, Clovis North, Copper River and Deauville are street after street of concrete and clay tile. Tile is the right roof for this climate and it lasts, but it is porous, and porous is what algae wants. The same tule fog that sits over Fresno sits over Clovis, and a shaded tile slope under it stays wet long enough for the growth to take. Lichen then anchors into the face of the tile, so when it finally releases it takes surface with it.

Walking that tile is a skill, not a formality. Weight goes on the lower third of a tile where it is supported by the course below, spread across walk pads, and the number of passes is planned before anyone steps up. Cracked tiles are not a normal cost of getting a roof clean.

Then the dust. East and south of the last subdivision the ground opens into ranch and orchard land, and the afternoon wind carries fine ag dust straight back over the city. Closer to the foothill edge you get oak and pine debris on top of that. Between the two, a Clovis roof and a Clovis array both carry a layered mix that a garden hose will not shift.

A Clovis year runs roughly like this:

• Spring. Orchard bloom and pollen settle on glass, panels and paint.
• May to October. Effectively no rain, so nothing rinses. Dust builds without interruption through the hottest and highest-production months, and the sun bakes it on.
• Late summer. Valley haze and smoke season leave a fine greasy film that plain dust does not, and it does not blow off.
• November and December. Ash, sycamore, liquidambar and Chinese pistache drop all at once on the older streets, straight into gutters already holding packed grit.
• December to February. Fog. North slopes stay damp, algae spreads, and shaded concrete turns slick.

There is a Clovis-specific wrinkle on top. California's solar requirement for new homes took effect in 2020, in the middle of a long run of subdivision building here, so a very large share of the houses in the newer tracts carry rooftop arrays. Six rainless months of ag dust on tilted glass costs production quietly, and the four-inch gap under those panels is close to perfect pigeon habitat. Plenty of Clovis homeowners find out about the second problem while asking about the first.

One honest note on gutter guards, since we get asked constantly: they reduce how often you need clearing, they do not remove the need. Fine ag dust and roof grit pass through most screens and settle into sediment underneath.

Why Clovis Homeowners Choose Valley Wash Pros

Because we are next door and we are on the hook. Valley Wash Pros is family owned, licensed and insured, based in Fresno minutes from the Clovis line, and rated 4.9 stars across 644 Google reviews.

Being close changes what we can actually do for you. An estimator can be at your place quickly, a crew is often already working in your zip code, and a recurring schedule does not come with a travel surcharge attached. When a storm is in the forecast and your gutters are still packed, that proximity is the whole difference.

It also changes the quality of the advice. We work these subdivisions constantly, so we know what a Harlan Ranch tile roof needs versus an older shingle roof off Old Town, and we know which elevations in a tract stay shaded long enough to grow the problem back. If a surface does not need doing yet, we will tell you that too. Talking someone out of a service is cheaper for us than a callback on a job that never needed doing.

Every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Plants and beds are pre-soaked and shielded before treatment starts and runoff is managed throughout, which matters when your landscaping is part of what the HOA is looking at. You can read the reviews yourself on our Google Business Profile.

Cash, card, direct deposit and check are all fine, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day. There is 10% off any service, plus an extra 5% off for seniors, veterans and essential workers.

Clovis Neighborhoods We Serve

Every part of the city, plus the county ground around it. Old Town to Copper River, and out past the last curb where the tracts meet open land.

The newer master-planned side: Harlan Ranch, Loma Vista, Buchanan, Clovis North, Copper River and Deauville, where tile roofs, paver driveways and pools are the norm and the architectural standards are real. The older side: Old Town Clovis, Bullard, Sierra Vista and the surrounding streets, with mature trees, more shingle than tile, and gutters that fill twice as fast every autumn.

Out east and south we cover the properties along Temperance, Locan, Shepherd and Ashlan, the ones sitting closest to the ranch and orchard ground and taking the worst of the dust. Commercially we work Old Town storefronts and the corridors along Shaw, Herndon and Clovis Avenue, usually outside trading hours.

Beyond the city, our crews run the whole region. See the full Central Valley service area across Fresno, Madera, Kings, Tulare and Merced counties.
