General Questions

Q: What is power washing?
A: Power washing (also known as pressure washing) is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove dirt, mold, grime, algae, and other contaminants from surfaces like siding, driveways, decks, fences, and roofs.

Q: What is soft washing?
A: Soft washing is a technique commonly used on fragile surfaces such as siding, blue stone rock and many other types of decks and patios. When soft washing, we pre soak every surface with water, then we apply a mixture of our chemical and water onto the surface, let it sit and rinse it off. Soft washing effectively cleans mold and dirt off of surfaces without the use of high pressure.

Q: Are your services safe for all surfaces?
A: Yes. We use the appropriate pressure level and cleaning solutions for each surface to ensure thorough cleaning without damage.

Q: Do you offer other services besides pressure washing and soft washing?

A: Yes! We offer a wide range of services outside of pressure washing, such as window cleaning, landscaping, spring and fall clean-ups, Christmas light installation, and so much more! See our full list of services here!

Q: Will the cleaning affect my landscaping or plants?
A: We take precautions to protect your landscaping by soaking the plants and greenery in water before we begin the service, to prevent the chemical from soaking into the plants and drying up, and then we make sure to thoroughly rinse the plants off after to ensure that they remain unharmed.
