Get matched with top pressure washers in Burlington, ND

It takes about 15 minutes per each side of an exterior house to apply detergent and 15 minutes to remove it, so you’ll need roughly two hours for the whole job. However, that length of time may decrease or increase depending on the size of your home, so always budget a little more than expected to ensure you don’t end up rushing to get it done.

A pressure washer with 3,000 PSI is enough for most residential projects, such as cleaning patios, outdoor furniture, exterior siding, and fences. Add an extendable wand to make pressure washing easier and more ergonomic. Choose a nozzle that’s best for your surface, such as a 15-degree nozzle for cleaning siding and a surface cleaner attachment for driveways. 

Yes, you can use a pressure washer to help with deck paint removal. One of the benefits of pressure washing is its speed. However, a pressure washer is best used with a paint stripper. A paint stripper helps the paint lift from the wood, and then you can use the pressure washer to remove the paint effectively. To increase the longevity of the wood, you want to avoid using more than 1000 PSI on your pressure washer, as too much moisture will penetrate the wood and may cause mildew or rot.

Yes, technically, you can pressure wash the paint off of brick. However, you run a much greater risk of damaging the brick and causing serious problems. If you go this route, you’ll still need to carefully choose and apply a chemical paint stripper before washing, following all instructions on the product packaging. Set your power washer to a low pressure to avoid damage.
