Pressure Washing

Clean That Doesn't Damage the Surface

Columbia summers grow mildew and algae on every shaded wall, and red clay works its way into concrete. We soft-wash siding, brick, stucco and vinyl at a pressure the surface can take, and step the pressure up for driveways, walkways, patios and sidewalks where the grime is ground in.

Decks and fences get the gentlest setting of all — enough to lift the grey weathered layer and open the grain for stain, not enough to fuzz the wood. We plan around your plants, cover what needs covering, and rinse everything down when we're finished.

  • Pressure Matched to the SurfaceSoft-wash for siding and wood, higher pressure for concrete. The setting is chosen for the material, never for speed.
  • Fully Licensed & InsuredFull liability and workers' comp coverage protect you and your property.
  • The Right Prep Before PaintA washed, dried surface is what paint and stain actually bond to — so washing is the first step of every exterior job we quote.

How It Works

Our Simple 5-Step Process

We've refined our process over 15 years to make your project stress-free from start to finish.

  1. Free Estimate

    We walk the property, measure the surfaces, and give you a detailed written estimate — no surprises.

  2. Surface Assessment

    We identify each material — vinyl, brick, stucco, wood, concrete — and set the pressure and detergent each one can take.

  3. Protect & Pre-Treat

    Plants, fixtures, outlets and furniture get covered, then a cleaning solution goes on to loosen mildew and algae before any water pressure.

  4. Wash & Rinse

    We work top to bottom in even passes, then rinse the whole surface clean so nothing dries in streaks.

  5. Final Walk-Through

    You inspect every surface. We don't leave until you're completely satisfied — and if paint or stain is next, we let everything dry fully first.
