If your porch, siding, or even your roof has started collecting a thick layer of yellow dust, you’re not imagining things. Pollen season in Hampton Roads is in full swing, and it’s leaving its mark on homes throughout Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Williamsburg, and surrounding areas.

While most people notice it on their decks and outdoor spaces, pollen also settles onto roofs, trim, and gutters, areas that are often overlooked but just as important to keep clean. Beyond being unsightly, pollen buildup can trigger allergies, stain surfaces, and shorten the lifespan of paint or stain when left untreated.

This is the perfect time to schedule a professional pressure washing and let McKown Pressure Wash, Painting & Contracting wash away pollen and bring your home back to life.

Our region’s warm, humid climate makes pollen linger longer than in many other places. The pollen count is often high, especially during peak seasons, leading to more buildup on outdoor surfaces. Local trees like pine and oak release large amounts of pollen, which sticks to siding, patios, decks, and railings. Once it rains or dew settles in, that dry yellow dust turns into a sticky film that clings tightly to surfaces.

If you’re searching for the best way to clean pollen off a deck or wondering how to get pollen off siding, professional pressure washing is one of the most effective solutions.

And don’t forget: Tackling pollen buildup is just one part of a thorough spring home maintenance plan, especially here in Coastal Virginia.

At McKown Pressure Wash, Painting & Contracting, we provide expert exterior cleaning solutions designed specifically for homes in Hampton Roads. Our heated low-pressure washing systems and soft wash techniques effectively remove tough pollen buildup without damaging paint, siding, or delicate finishes.

We understand the impact seasonal grime and allergens can have on both your home’s appearance and longevity. That’s why our services focus on protecting your investment while restoring curb appeal, all with safe, proven methods.

It’s also worth noting that your roof collects more than just pollen over time. Moisture, mold, and debris can shorten its lifespan and affect your home’s structure. Keeping it clean is key to preserving both your roof and your property’s overall health. Learn why roof washing is essential.

Our experienced team helps homeowners throughout Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Williamsburg, and surrounding areas keep their properties looking their best.

We specialize in cleaning:

If you’re dealing with pollen on outdoor furniture or screened areas, here are a few easy ways to maintain your space between professional cleanings:

• Outdoor Furniture: Mix warm water with a bit of dish soap and wipe surfaces using a soft cloth or sponge. For plastic or metal, a soft-bristle brush works well. Rinse thoroughly and dry to reduce future pollen buildup.
• Screened Porches: Use a microfiber cloth or vacuum brush to gently clean screen panels and frames. A 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle can help break down residue before wiping clean.

These small steps can go a long way in keeping your outdoor space comfortable during peak pollen months.

Pollen holds moisture against surfaces, increasing the risk of mold, staining, and wood damage.
