Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about our methods, safety, scheduling, and where we work.
Methods & surfaces
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean durable, hard surfaces like concrete driveways and walkways. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a biodegradable cleaning solution to safely clean delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and stucco. We choose the method based on the surface — the wrong one can cause real damage.
Yes. Soft washing cleans vinyl, painted wood, fiber cement, and other siding at low pressure with a cleaning solution that kills mold and algae at the root — no etching, no water forced behind the siding.
No. High pressure strips the protective granules from shingles and can void your warranty. Roofs should only be soft washed — a low-pressure application of a cleaning solution that kills algae and moss safely.
Roofs, all siding types, decks, fences, driveways, patios, walkways, concrete, brick, stucco, pavers, pool decks, gutters, and commercial building exteriors. We match the method to each surface.
Safety & results
We pre-wet all landscaping, cover delicate plants, and rinse thoroughly. Solutions are applied and rinsed following product-specific guidance to protect your plantings — we don't consider any solution harmless, so careful handling is part of every job.
Most homes benefit from a wash every one to two years. Homes with heavy tree cover or shaded, north-facing walls may want annual cleaning to control moss and mildew.
It depends on the surfaces and the size of your home. As a rough guide, house washing often takes 2–4 hours, roof cleaning 3–6 hours, and driveways 1–3 hours. We give a specific estimate during your assessment.
Scheduling & service area
Not necessarily, as long as we have access to water and the areas being cleaned. Many homeowners prefer to be present for the initial walkthrough, but we can complete the work while you're away.
Close windows, move vehicles from the driveway, and make sure water spigots are accessible. Trimming back branches or shrubs within a couple of feet of the house helps us work efficiently and protects your landscaping.
Yes. We clean storefronts, building exteriors, sidewalks, parking areas, and multifamily properties, as one-time cleanings or on a recurring maintenance schedule.
