FAQs

Power washing uses high-pressure water for hard surfaces like concrete and driveways. Soft washing uses low-pressure with specialized cleaning solutions for delicate surfaces like roofs and siding.

Most homes benefit from annual power washing to remove dirt, mildew, and algae buildup. High-traffic areas like driveways may need cleaning twice yearly for optimal appearance.

When done properly with appropriate pressure and techniques, power washing is safe. We use soft washing for roofs and delicate siding to prevent damage while ensuring thorough cleaning.

Soft washing is the right choice whenever your exterior includes surfaces that can erode, crack, or lose paint under high pressure — such as stucco, cedar shake siding, or painted wood trim. Standard pressure washing is better suited to hard, non-porous surfaces like concrete driveways and brick walkways where higher psi poses little damage risk.
