How often should I have my house, deck, fence, or driveway washed?

General: If your house is surrounded by trees, it may need cleaning annually. Houses with direct sunlight and no shade may require washing every 1–2 years. Cleaning once a year won’t hurt and helps maintain appearance.

Driveways: We recommend cleaning yearly or every two years to remove slippery mold buildup, especially on steep inclines.

Decks: Wash when mold, mildew, and fungus appear. Cleaning 1–2 times a year prevents wood rot and extends its lifespan.

Fences: Clean at least every other year or when you see signs of algae, mildew, or mold. This ensures a long lifespan when paired with sealing and staining.

Pool Decks: Clean before summer use to prevent slippery surfaces.

How much does it cost to clean a house?

Our prices vary based on square footage, surface type, and service needs (pressure washing, power washing, or soft washing). Factors include:

• Vinyl siding, brick, stucco – each requires a different approach.
• Level of soiling – red clay, rust stains, and black streaks impact pricing.
• Driveway cleaning – steep driveways, stains, and cracks require more effort.

Do I need to be home when you pressure wash?

It’s recommended but not required. Many homeowners forget to close all windows, so having someone available to check for leaks is ideal. If you can’t be home:

• Ensure all windows and doors are locked to prevent leaks.
• Leave gates unlocked.
• Lay towels inside near doors and windows to absorb any stray water.
• Remove lawn furniture and items from the work area.

What’s the difference between pressure washing, power washing, and soft washing?

• Pressure Washing: Uses high-pressure water to remove dirt but isn’t as effective against mold and algae.
• Power Washing: Uses hot water to clean grease stains and stubborn grime.
• Soft Washing: Uses low-pressure, high-volume water to safely clean delicate surfaces.

Will you move my furniture before cleaning?

No, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to move furniture and belongings. We can clean most outdoor furniture if requested.

How long does the washing process take?

The time varies depending on the surface size and level of buildup.

How soon can I schedule an appointment?

It typically takes 3–7 business days. The sooner you approve the estimate, the sooner you get scheduled. Expedited services are available for special occasions or emergencies.

What is your minimum service charge?

Our minimum service charge is $250 before tax. This charge can include any combination of our services.

How quickly can I get a quote?

We provide residential quotes within 24–48 hours (Monday–Friday). Large commercial properties may take 1–3 days.

Will you use my water?

Yes, we require access to an outdoor spigot. If you don’t have running water, we offer a water service depending on the job size.

What are the dark streaks on my roof?

These black streaks are caused by algae (Gloeocapsa Magma) that eat away at shingles. Our roof treatment removes the infestation at the roots.

How do I pay?

We require a credit or debit card on file when scheduling. You won’t be billed until the job is complete. You’ll receive an invoice to pay online.

Do you accept other payment options?

Yes! We offer Payment at Closing for real estate clients and also accept Square’s Afterpay for flexible financing.

Why should I have my property cleaned?

Regular cleaning:

• Improves curb appeal.
• Prevents costly repairs by maintaining surfaces.
• Reduces the risk of slips and falls caused by algae and mildew buildup.

Will roof cleaning damage my shingles?

No. We use soft washing, which applies cleaning detergents at low pressure (similar to a garden hose) to safely remove algae and mold.
