Window cleaning, pressure washing, and soft washing around the Highland Lakes county seat
Summer Heat Season
Central Texas summers regularly push past 100 degrees. That heat bakes dirt, pollen, and organic growth into your windows, siding, and concrete. What would rinse off in March becomes permanent by August.
Beat the Heat — Book NowA husband-and-wife exterior cleaning team, now taking quote calls from Burnet
Burnet sits at the heart of Highland Lakes country — the county seat, out on Highway 29 where the hills roll toward Lake Buchanan on one side and Inks Lake on the other. It's a part of Central Texas where homes are spread out, views run long, and a lot of the glass on a house exists specifically to look at something worth looking at. That glass deserves better than a film of cedar pollen and sprinkler spots.
We're Daniel and Kara — River Blue Services is a husband-and-wife business based over near Liberty Hill, an easy drive east on 29. We offer window cleaning, pressure washing, soft washing, and gutter cleaning to Burnet homeowners, and quoting is simple: call (512) 222-3765 with your address, tell us what's bugging you about the exterior, and you'll get a straight number for free.
If you're in Burnet and haven't found an exterior cleaning company willing to make the drive, that's exactly the gap this page exists to fill. The territory we cover runs Highway 29 from Liberty Hill out through Bertram to Burnet and on toward the lakes, so a Burnet stop fits naturally inside it rather than stretching it.
Daniel answers the phone, and Daniel and Kara do the work. No call center, no crew you've never met — just the two people whose names are on the business.
The window cleaning side of the business carries general liability insurance, so hiring us is a professional arrangement — not a handshake with a guy and a ladder.
Give us your address and what you'd like cleaned, and we'll price it over the phone — windows, surfaces, access, and scope, with no obligation attached.
What lake-country weather does to glass, siding, and concrete
From December through March, mountain cedar throws pollen across all of Central Texas, and Burnet County gets its full share. The yellow film settles on windows, sticks to siding, and dulls everything it lands on — and once morning dew or a light rain wets it down, it bonds to glass in a way a garden hose won't undo. A proper cleaning after cedar season is the fastest visible upgrade most homes can get all year.
Central Texas water carries plenty of minerals, and every sprinkler pass that catches a window leaves a little of them behind. In the strong afternoon sun out here, those white spots glow. Caught early, they come off with the rest of the cleaning; left for seasons, they get progressively harder to remove. Residential window cleaning starts at $250, and irrigation overspray is one of the most common problems it solves.
The sunny sides of a Burnet home collect baked-on dust and a dulling film; the shaded sides grow green. Algae and mildew creep across north-facing walls, under eaves, and along fence lines wherever moisture lingers. Soft washing handles the delicate surfaces — siding, stone, stucco, painted trim — with low pressure and the right solution instead of raw blasting force.
A long country driveway or a concrete pad in town collects tire marks, leaf-tannin stains, and general grime that rain never quite rinses away. Pressure washing brings concrete back toward its original color, and the pressure gets matched to the material — what's right for a driveway slab would be wrong for softer stone or a painted porch. Jobs start at a $250 minimum, and a driveway can be folded into a bigger exterior visit or priced on its own.
From homes in town to properties out toward the lakes
Burnet's stretch of the Highland Lakes chain includes the two lakes that start it: Lake Buchanan, the largest in the chain at more than 22,000 acres, and Inks Lake just below it — the smallest of the group, known for pink granite outcroppings, clear water, and a cedar-and-live-oak shoreline. Homes out toward either lake tend to be built around their views, with big windows aimed at water and sky. When the view is the whole point of the house, keeping the glass clear isn't cosmetic fussiness — it's maintenance on the thing you paid for.
Burnet itself is a small county seat surrounded by oak-covered hills, in a region whose elevation runs from roughly 600 to 1,500 feet. The housing reflects that spread: established houses near the square, newer builds along 29, and properties scattered out in every direction. Each one gets quoted on its own terms — window count, access, exterior materials, and what actually needs cleaning — instead of off a one-size-fits-all rate card.

Out in Burnet, a home can be well kept in every other way and still look tired because of a stained driveway or a gray, grimy walkway. Hard surfaces collect whatever the seasons drop on them — pollen in spring, dust in summer, leaves and their tannin stains in fall — and rain compacts it rather than clearing it. One thorough pressure wash resets all of that at once.
Method matters as much as machinery. Broom-finished concrete takes real pressure; softer stone, pavers, and anything painted call for a gentler approach. Reading the surface first is how the buildup comes off without wand marks getting left behind.
Lake-country living happens outside. Pool decks grow slick algae films, patios hold a season's worth of pollen and grime, and outdoor kitchens pick up grease you don't notice until it's gone. Washing those surfaces is the difference between a backyard you apologize for and one you invite people into.
If you'd like a number, call (512) 222-3765 — pressure washing can be quoted by itself or bundled with windows, soft washing, or gutters so the whole exterior comes back to life in one visit.

Timing your cleaning to the season
Once June hits, Central Texas bakes. Temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees, and the sun intensity is brutal on exterior surfaces. Dirt and pollen that accumulated in spring gets cooked onto windows and siding. Driveways and sidewalks develop dark tire marks and organic staining that gets harder to remove with every hot day.
Summer is also when families are using their outdoor spaces the most — pools, patios, backyard decks. Clean exterior glass lets natural light flood your home, and a pressure-washed patio makes outdoor entertaining more enjoyable.
Yes, we adjust our schedule to work in the early morning hours during peak summer. The water actually evaporates quickly in the heat, which means surfaces dry fast and look great immediately. We stay hydrated and take precautions — we're out in this heat regularly.
