Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing

Not all surfaces can handle high-pressure cleaning. We use soft washing — a low-pressure method with specialized cleaning solutions — for delicate surfaces like roofing, painted siding, and older wood. For hard surfaces like concrete and brick, we use higher pressures for deep cleaning.

Pre-Paint Prep

Pressure washing is an essential first step before any exterior painting project. It removes all contaminants that can prevent paint adhesion. When you hire us for exterior painting, thorough pressure washing is always included in our prep process.
