Power wash questions
Common power wash questions.
Will pressure washing damage my siding?
Not the way we do it. Vinyl, fiber-cement, and aluminum get the soft-wash nozzle at 25 degrees with a chemical mildewcide — no high-pressure blasting. We only run the 0–15 degree tips on concrete and brick where the substrate can take it.
Do I need to be home?
No. Leave a hose hookup accessible (we'll find it) and tell us at booking which side gates open or where the back patio is. We text photos when we're done. Pay after via Square or Venmo if you want.
How long until I can walk on the driveway / use the deck?
Driveway: dry to walk in 30 minutes, dry to drive on in 2 hours. Deck: 24 hours before staining, 4 hours before walking. Wood swells slightly when wet — give it the night to relax before reapplying any sealer.
What about my plants and grass next to the driveway?
We pre-rinse adjacent plant beds with clean water, throttle pressure near root zones, and post-rinse to dilute any detergent overspray. Hydrangeas, hostas, and azaleas get the most attention — they're pH-sensitive.
