Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is power washing / pressure washing?
Power washing (also called pressure washing) uses high-pressure water, sometimes heated, to blast away dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other buildup from exterior surfaces of homes, commercial buildings, concrete, decks, fences, and more. We also use a gentler “soft wash” method for delicate surfaces to avoid damage.
Q: What’s the difference between “power washing” and “soft washing”?
Power washing refers to using higher pressure (and sometimes heated water) to remove tough stains.
Soft washing uses low pressure combined with cleaning solutions (often biodegradable) to safely treat surfaces like siding, roofs, windows, or painted areas without causing damage.
Q: How often should I have my home or property power washed?
It depends on your location, exposure to mold/mildew, shade, humidity, and how dirty your surfaces get. Many homeowners schedule a wash once a year.
Q: What kinds of surfaces can you clean?
Siding (vinyl, wood, stucc
Roofs
Decks and fences
Concrete, driveway, walkways, patios
Brick, stone, masonry
Gutters and eaves

Q: Will you remove mold, mildew, algae, or stains?
Yes, these are common issues we address. We use appropriate cleaners and methods (soft wash, chemical treatments) to not only remove visible growth but also kill spores to slow future regrowth.
Q: How do I get a quote? Do you do free estimates?
We provide free, no-obligation quotes. Depending on your location and the nature of the job, we may estimate by photos, measurements (via satellite tools), or by in-person inspection.
Do I need to be home during service?
Not necessarily. You can secure your home, and the crew will work independently. We only require access to an outdoor water supply and informed arrangements ahead of time.
What should I do to prepare before your team arrives?
Common preparations include:
Move or cover outdoor furniture, potted plants, and décor
Secure pets and children
Close windows and doors
Clear away obstacles near surfaces to be cleaned
Remove or secure decorative items on decks, patios
Remove screens (if windows are to be cleaned)
Ensure a working water spigot is available
