What the service includes
Clean surfaces last longer.
Michigan weather leaves its mark: algae on shaded siding, mildew on decks, oil and salt on concrete. We wash house siding, decks and fences, and driveways and walkways with the pressure matched to the material — full pressure where concrete can take it, and a soft wash where siding, roofing-adjacent surfaces and older wood need a gentler hand.
Walkthrough
We look at what is being washed, the material and its condition, and what should not see full pressure.
Protection
Plants, landscaping, fixtures, outlets and adjacent surfaces are covered or avoided before the wand comes out.
Washing
Pressure and detergents are matched to the surface — concrete gets muscle, siding and wood get a controlled soft wash.
Rinse & review
Everything is rinsed down, protection is removed, and we walk the work with you before we leave.
Soft wash vs. pressure — we use both
Not every surface should take full pressure. Vinyl and fiber-cement siding, older wood and anything near roofing get a low-pressure soft wash with detergents that do the cleaning work chemically. High pressure is reserved for concrete and other hard surfaces that can take it. If a company only owns one setting, your siding is at risk.
What washing can and cannot fix
Washing removes dirt, algae, mildew, cobwebs and surface staining — it does not fix failing paint, deep oil stains, efflorescence or rotted wood. If the wash reveals coating failure or damage, we will tell you plainly and quote the repair or repaint separately. No surprises.
Before a paint or stain project
Proper prep starts with a clean surface. Pressure washing is the first step of our exterior painting and deck and fence coating work — coatings bond to clean, sound surfaces, not to a season of grime.
Common questions
Pressure washing FAQs
Will pressure washing damage my siding or deck?
Not when the method matches the material. Siding, older wood, and anything near roofing get a low-pressure soft wash with detergents that do the cleaning work chemically; full pressure is reserved for concrete and other hard surfaces that can take it.
How much does pressure washing cost?
Every project is quoted on its own after a walkthrough or photos — size, material, and condition drive the number. Request a free estimate and we will scope it properly.
Do I need to be home during the wash?
No. As long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot and the areas being washed, we can work while you are out and walk you through the result after.
