Pressure Washing FAQ

Common Questions

Can pressure washing damage my home's siding?
Yes, if done improperly. High pressure can force water behind siding, strip paint, and damage vinyl or wood. That’s why soft washing with appropriate detergents is recommended for house exteriors. Hard surfaces like concrete and brick can handle full pressure.
Will pressure washing remove oil stains from my driveway?
Pressure washing can lighten oil stains but may not remove them completely. For stubborn oil stains, a degreaser pre-treatment is applied before washing. Fresh stains come out more easily than old, set-in ones.
Is pressure washing safe for my concrete patio pavers?
Yes, but the pressure should be adjusted for the material. Too much pressure can erode the joint sand between pavers. A professional will use the right pressure setting and may need to re-sand joints afterward.
What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt and grime from hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure with cleaning solutions and is safer for siding, roofs, and painted surfaces. Most house exteriors in North Texas should be soft washed to avoid damage.

Process & Timeline

How often should I pressure wash my driveway?
In North Texas, once a year is typically sufficient. The combination of heat, dust, and occasional algae growth means driveways accumulate grime quickly. Spring is a popular time to clean before the intense summer heat.
How long does it take to pressure wash a driveway?
A standard 2-car driveway takes about 1-2 hours depending on the level of buildup and staining. Heavily soiled driveways may need pre-treatment that adds to the time.
