"Great job pressure washing and painting the front of our house and trim (ladder work) and re-oiling our balconies. Gabriel ( owner) was responsive to our instructions and suggestions, kept extremely tidy worksite, and finished in a timely manner, for a very reasonable cost. We would definitely hire him again!"

"They specifically washed my home windows, detailed outside and basic wipe-down inside. Extremely great deal. Service representative was very professional and respectful. The machine they used is amazing like no other Iâ  ve ever seen. Windows are sparkling clean now!!! Iâ  m going to call on them again between season changes. I highly recommend this business!!!"

"The young guy who did the work was prompt and professional, but not well trained. He power washed my patio BEFORE blowing the leaves and sticks off my roof, so all the debris landed on my just cleaned patio, and he didn't follow up to clean it off.
He forgot to do the garage door and was all packed up when he asked me to inspect, so I just let it ride.

"The crew worked hard on a full clean up of a house and apartment. Both were lived in so there was a lot of furniture to work around in order to wash floors, walls, clean closets, dust and vacuum. Neither home had been fully cleaned for several years so it was a big job. Everything was handled carefully. They also had to travel quite a distance into the countryside to get to the site on winding roads. I was very pleased with their good attitude and full efforts to get it all done in the limited time available."

Pressure Washing questions, answered by experts

It’s important to avoid power washing your house during freezing temperatures because the excess water can freeze on surfaces and cause damage. You should also avoid doing this task during heavy wind or rain because the water spray becomes less effective and could spread debris. Don’t power wash your home if your siding is cracked, loose, or peeling because the high pressure can worsen the damage. Lastly, if your home has delicate materials like softwood or stucco, consider gentler cleaning methods to prevent structural harm.

Yes, you can safely pressure wash vinyl siding. As a durable material, vinyl can typically withstand pressure up to 3,000 PSI, holding up better than other siding types like aluminum or stucco. However, it's crucial to operate the pressure washer correctly to avoid damage. Before you begin, repair any existing cracks or damage to the siding. For a safe setup, use a 15- or 25-degree nozzle and maintain a distance of at least three feet from the siding to prevent splashback and damage.

You should always power wash your driveway before applying a sealant. At any given time, your driveway could be covered with algae and moss, tire residue, oil and rust stains, and any combination of leaves, twigs, and dirt. If you skip power washing, you’ll be trapping the dirt and grime beneath the sealant and lowering its chance of cementing itself to your driveway. While you can expect the cost to pressure wash your driveway to average between $100 and $350, the few hundred dollars beats an unattractive driveway or paying extra to reapply your driveway sealer.

Yes, you can use a pressure washer to effectively clean debris, dirt, and grime from your gutters, but it must be done with caution to avoid damage. Always use a low-pressure setting, with a recommended range between 1,200 and 1,800 PSI. Excessive pressure can bend or dent aluminum gutters, damage seams, peel paint, or even knock shingles off your roof, potentially leading to leaks and moisture issues. For a safer alternative, consider soft washing or cleaning them by hand. When using a pressure washer, it is safer to use gutter elbow extensions from the ground rather than climbing a ladder, as the force can cause instability. Due to the risks, you may want to hire a licensed and insured contractor for the job.

You should avoid using a pressure washer on any surface or item that could be damaged by the high-pressure spray, as some materials are too delicate to withstand the force.

Key items and surfaces to avoid include:

  • Electrical Components: Never pressure wash electrical systems, as water can cause short-circuits and create a safety hazard. This includes utility meters, breaker boxes, electrical outlets, generators, and HVAC or air conditioner units.

  • Delicate and Fragile Materials: Fragile items can crack, shatter, or be stripped by the pressure. Avoid pressure washing windows, glass, light fixtures, shingled roofs (especially asphalt), and stucco.

  • Painted, Stained, or Sealed Surfaces: Unless your goal is to strip the finish, do not pressure wash painted surfaces, stained wood (like decks), or anything with a protective seal that could be stripped away. Be especially cautious with older surfaces that may contain lead paint.

  • Soft Woods and Certain Decking: Delicate surfaces like softwood, composite decking, and antique or wooden patio furniture can be etched or damaged. If you must wash wood, use a lower-powered pressure washer with a wide-angle nozzle to prevent damage.

  • Living Things: Never use a pressure washer on people, pets, or plants. The force can cause serious injury and will destroy landscaping.
