FAQ

What surfaces can be pressure washed?

Brick, wood, plastic, anything can be pressure washed as long as the operator is using the correct pressure for the job.

What is the purpose of pressure washing?

Sometimes it is to stop someone from getting hurt on the front step’s slick algae, sometimes it is to get ready for paint, and other times its to get your HOA off your back!

What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

Soft washing is a cleaning technique that is dependent on a chemical to do the cleaning and the machine is just a means to spread it. Pressure washing is used when the pores of a material need to be cleaned out.

Are my plants safe?

When a cleaning agent is the right tool for the job, we reach for biodegradable first. All plant life gets pretreated and we have a 100% survival rate!

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Annual cleaning is as often as we recommended cleaning, but depending on environmental condition it could be less. We like to operate on a “if it aint broke, don’t fix it” philosophy and not hold people to contracts, forcing a service.

Do you need access to my water?

Yes, we hook up to your exterior water spigot to run the equipment. A typical service will consume around $5.00 worth of water. Transporting water can be dangerous due to its weight and how it shifts onboard. The tank you see on the average pressure washing rig is a buffering tank that is required when a household tap doesn’t have a flow rate to support the technician’s equipment.

How long does pressure washing take?

A technician will be on site on average for 2 hours.

Do I need to be home for service?

We would prefer you see our excellence in real time, but if you can’t be there, it’s no problem!

Why do pressure washing cost vary so much?

Business expenses vary. If a company has an F350 pulling a double-axle trailer with specialized equipment for commercial cleaning, they have to charge a lot more than the guy who has a pickup and a set of ramps.

Can pressure washing damage my vinyl siding?

Vinyl siding is durable and hard to damage with a pressure washer, but oxidation can cause a chalky layer on the surface. When that layer is disturbed by too much pressure, streaks—often called “zebra striping” or the loose firehose effect appear.
