Pressure Washing Questions, Answered

It depends on the surfaces and their size — a single driveway is a small job; a full house, driveway and deck package is a bigger one. We quote every job free by phone at (855) 417-6030, and the price we confirm before starting is the price you pay.

No — houses get a soft wash: low pressure plus professional detergents that kill algae and mildew at the root. High pressure is reserved for concrete and other hard surfaces, where it belongs.

Yes. We pre-wet and cover landscaping, work at proper dilutions, and rinse everything thoroughly. Lawns, gardens, kids and pets can use the yard again the same day.

Most single services take one to three hours. Whole-property packages — house, driveway, deck and fence — are usually a half day. Commercial work is scheduled off-hours and scoped per site.

No. With spigot access and the areas clear, we can wash while you are out and send before-and-after photos of your own surfaces when we finish.

Not with the right method per surface. Soft washing protects siding, roofs and painted wood; deck pressures are matched to the material; concrete takes the full surface-cleaner treatment. Damage stories almost always come from one-pressure-fits-all washing — which is exactly what we do not do.

Usually a bacteria called Gloeocapsa magma that feeds on shingle limestone, followed by algae and moss. It is removable with a soft wash — never with pressure, which strips shingle granules and voids warranties. See our roof streak guide.

Move vehicles off the driveway, clear the deck or patio furniture you can, close windows, and make sure we can reach an outdoor spigot. We handle the rest, including moving and replacing normal outdoor furniture.

We connect to your outdoor spigot for most jobs — a typical house wash uses less water than a week of lawn sprinkling. For commercial sites without water access, tell us when booking and we will plan around it.

We wash whenever temperatures stay safely above freezing. Late fall washes are popular for removing leaf tannins and road-salt film before winter sets in.

If a treated surface shows we missed a spot, tell us within a few days and we will come back and make it right. Algae treatments are applied to keep surfaces clean longer — if growth returns unusually fast, call us and we will look at it honestly.
