Get matched with top pressure washers in Fort Totten, ND

The amount of pressure required to wash your siding depends on the material. Vinyl siding, as well as brick and stone exteriors, can handle high pressure of 2,500 to 3,000 psi, especially if you’re not worried about damaging paint. Wood and aluminum siding needs a gentler approach and shouldn’t face more than 1,500 psi.

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.

As you can imagine, the difference between soft washing and pressure washing is the amount of pressure applied in the cleaning process. Soft washing is a gentler method that uses a low-pressure nozzle and is safe for fragile paint and masonry. Because it’s not as aggressive as pressure washing, you need to use a cleaning solution when soft washing.
