Should you pressure wash wood siding?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend pressuring washing clapboard siding. At high levels of pressure, a pressure washer can damage wood siding permanently. Pressure washing can also make it easier to drive water into the cracks of clapboard (which are recommended for easier drainage), causing moisture damage.</p><p>If you think your clapboard siding is so dirty it could benefit from pressure washing, we suggest contacting a pressure wash cleaning service and getting a quote on a wood siding project. Some siding manufacturers recommend never pressure washing because it can force water behind the siding.</p></div>

What happens if I don't pressure wash my deck before staining?

• <div><p>If you don’t thoroughly clean your deck surface before staining, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped on top of the wood. As well as looking unsightly, the stain won’t effectively penetrate the wood surface. You won’t have such a well-protected deck, and you’ll likely have to restain sooner. Beyond just the appearance and adhesion issues, any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage over time, ultimately shortening the lifespan of your deck and requiring costly repairs.</p></div>

Q: Should asphalt shingles be power washed?

• <div><p>No, asphalt shingles should not be power washed. A power washer or pressure washer is too strong to use on asphalt shingles and will loosen the adhesive holding them to your roof, causing them to fall off. It&rsquo;s best to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/roof-cleaners/">local roof cleaner</a> to clean those shingles safely and without damaging them. </p></div>

Q: How long does professional power washing take?

• <div><p>Generally 1-2 hours, depending on the area and level of dirt accumulation.</p></div>

Q: Can I just rinse my solar panels?

• <div><p>You can rinse your solar panels in some cases. For example, periodically rinsing your solar panels can remove light debris if you live in an agricultural or dusty area. Light dust and dirt won&rsquo;t affect efficiency much, but they can build up and mix with other debris like animal droppings, leaves, and small sticks. </p></div>
