Steps to a Successful Power Washing
-
Surface Material & Condition: Different materials (wood, vinyl, concrete, brick) require specific, tailored pressure settings to avoid damage.
-
Water Temperature: Power washing uses pressured water to break down stubborn grease and oil, whereas cold water is used for general, less-intensive cleaning.
-
Safety & Insurance: It is crucial to hire fully insured, licensed, and trained professionals to prevent property damage or personal injury.
-
Environmental Impact: Opt for companies that use biodegradable detergents and manage water run-off safely.
-
Job Scope & Accessibility: The size of the area and the difficulty of reaching high or complex spots (e.g., roofs) directly impact the time and cost.
Every service is performed with attention to detail to ensure long-lasting results.
Key Factors for Paving Power Washing
-
Pressure (PSI) and Flow (GPM):
-
-
Pavers: 1,000–1,500 PSI is generally recommended to avoid damaging the pavers or washing away too much joint sand.
-
Concrete: 2,500–3,000 PSI is suitable for tougher, more durable concrete surfaces.
-
Flow Rate (GPM): A higher flow rate (over 2.5 GPM) speeds up the cleaning process.
-
-
Equipment and Technique:
-
Surface Cleaner: A 14–15 inch surface cleaner attachment is recommended to ensure even, consistent cleaning and prevent streaks.
-
Nozzle Selection: A 25-degree (green) or 40-degree (white) fan nozzle is preferred to avoid etching or damaging the surface.
-
Distance and Angle: Maintain a 6–12 inch distance, holding the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the surface.
-
-
Surface Preparation:
-
Debris Removal: Thoroughly sweep or use a leaf blower to remove all loose leaves, dirt, and twigs.
-
Pre-treatment: For stubborn stains, oil, or mold, apply a suitable detergent or degreaser, allowing it to sit for 10–15 minutes before washing.
-
Plant Protection: Cover nearby plants, grass, and delicate areas with plastic sheeting or tarps to protect them from high-pressure water and cleaning chemicals
-
-
Post-Cleaning Maintenance:
-
-
Re-sanding: Replace joint sand that may have been washed away to prevent shifting, especially for interlocking pavers.
-
Sealing: Apply a high-quality sealant 24–48 hours after the pavers have dried to protect against future stains, UV rays, and moisture.
-
Service Factors:
-
Frequency: Annual cleaning is recommended to prevent heavy grime, mold, and algae buildup.
-
Surface Type: Adjust techniques for different materials (e.g., natural stone requires gentler care than concrete).
Our Safety and Best Practices:
-
Wear Safety Gear: Always wear goggles and gloves to protect against debris.
-
Test Area: Start with a lower pressure on an inconspicuous spot to ensure no damage occurs.
-
Avoid Over-wetting: Prevent water from saturating the base layer, which can cause instability.
-
Check Integrity: Look for cracks or loose pavers before beginning, as high pressure can worsen existing damage

Frequently Asked Questions
Difference between Power and Pressure Washing: Power washing uses heated water, making it more effective for cleaning heavy grease and oil, whereas pressure washing typically uses cold water.
What is Soft Washing? This is a cleaning method that relies on specialized detergents rather than high pressure, designed for surfaces that could be damaged by intense force, such as siding, roofs, or older wood.
Frequency of Cleaning: It is generally recommended to power wash your home’s exterior at least once per year. Roofs often only need cleaning every 3 years, though they should be checked annually for regrowth.
Surface Safety & Damages: When done incorrectly, high pressure can damage wood, strip paint, and damage windows. Professionals typically use 2–3 feet of distance from the surface for safety.
What surfaces are safe to power wash and clean? Our skilled team tailors water pressure and cleaning solutions to suit the condition and sensitivity of each surface we clean. Whether it’s power washing or soft washing, we’re equipped to handle a wide range of surfaces, including siding, roofs, decks, walkways, driveways, mailboxes, awnings, patios, windows, fences, parking lots, parking structures, dumpster corrals , sports courts, and so much more!
What Areas Are More Prone To Dirt On My Home? The most common areas of the home that are prone to dirt are the walkway and deck. These areas are commonly used as more foot traffic occurs each day. The roof and foundations of your home are also prone to dirt and debris over time as weather patterns and pollutants change year-round.
What not to do when power washing a house? High pressure can cause significant damage to wooden decks, painted surfaces, windows, and other soft materials. It can strip paint, dent metal, and even damage concrete surfaces if not used properly. Always adjust the pressure to the specific material you're cleaning.
Can I run Dawn dish soap through my pressure washer? Yes, you can use Dawn dish soap in a pressure washer, especially for cars and decks, but it must be heavily diluted, used sparingly, and you should avoid mixing it with bleach or using it on delicate finishes, as it can cause excessive foam, strip wax, or damage surfaces if misused, according to this Reddit thread and this Facebook thread. While it's effective for removing wax and grease, using too much can lead to foamy messes or potentially affect finishes, so many professionals prefer dedicated pressure washer soaps
Can you pressure wash granite? Avoid High-Pressure Washers While tempting, a pressure washer can dislodge jointing sand and damage the stone's surface. Opt for a low-pressure hose and a soft brush for exterior cleaning. For stubborn grime, use a stone-safe outdoor cleaner diluted with water
Can gravestones be pressure washed? First, it's worth noting that you should never use a power washer to clean a headstone. This would do irreparable damage. Instead, use a pump sprayer set on a mist setting. Gently wet the stone with clean water and watch as it dries.
