Pressure Washing
Exterior cleaning that restores surfaces without damaging them.
Pressure washing sounds simple until the wrong nozzle or PSI strips paint, gouges soft wood, or drives water behind siding. We match pressure and technique to the surface — soft-washing for vinyl siding and roofing, higher pressure for concrete driveways and sidewalks, and controlled cleaning for wood decks that shouldn't be blasted like a parking lot.
Central Kentucky's humidity means algae, mildew, and green staining build up fast on north-facing siding, shaded decks, and concrete that doesn't get direct sun — we treat those surfaces with appropriate cleaning solutions, not just water pressure, so growth doesn't come right back in a few weeks.
Why Choose Us?
- Pressure and technique are matched to the surface — siding, wood decking, and concrete are not treated the same way.
- Pre-treatment targets algae and mildew at the source, so growth is slower to return.
- We know which surfaces in this climate need soft-washing to avoid damage — vinyl siding and roofing shingles chief among them.
- Concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios get the higher pressure they can safely handle for a deeper clean.
Our Pressure Washing Process
Surface Assessment
We identify the surface material and condition to determine safe pressure levels and whether pre-treatment is needed.
Pre-Treatment
Algae, mildew, or heavy staining is treated with an appropriate cleaning solution before washing.
Washing
Surfaces are cleaned with pressure and technique matched to the material — soft wash for siding, higher pressure for concrete.
Rinse & Inspect
Surfaces are rinsed clean and inspected for any spots needing a second pass.
Common Questions About Pressure Washing
Is pressure washing safe for vinyl siding?+
At the wrong pressure, no — it can force water behind panels or strip the finish. We soft-wash siding using lower pressure and a cleaning solution instead of blasting it at driveway-level PSI.
How often should a driveway or deck be pressure washed?+
Once a year is typical for most Central Kentucky homes, though shaded or north-facing surfaces prone to algae growth often benefit from a cleaning every 6-9 months.
Can pressure washing remove oil stains from a driveway?+
Fresh to moderate oil staining responds well to pre-treatment and pressure washing. Long-set, deep stains may lighten significantly but aren't always fully removable without concrete resurfacing.
