SERVICE-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

  • What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

    Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (2,000+ PSI) to blast away dirt and grime, which is effective for hard surfaces like concrete but can damage siding, roofs, and wood. Soft washing uses low-pressure water (under 200 PSI) combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, stucco, and roofs without causing damage.

  • Is pressure washing safe for my home's siding?

    When done correctly by professionals, yes. We use soft washing techniques for most siding types (vinyl, stucco, wood, brick) to prevent damage. High-pressure washing can force water behind siding, damage seals, or strip paint if not done properly.

  • Can you clean my roof?

    Yes! We specialize in soft wash roof cleaning that safely removes black streaks, moss, algae, and lichen without damaging shingles. Regular roof cleaning can extend your roof's lifespan and improve your home's appearance.

  • What surfaces can you clean?

    We clean a wide variety of surfaces including vinyl, stucco, brick, and wood siding asphalt shingle and tile roofs concrete and paver driveways wood and composite decks fences gutters

    and commercial building exteriors.

  • Will pressure washing remove paint?

    High-pressure washing can remove loose or peeling paint. If your goal is to prepare a surface for painting, we can adjust our techniques accordingly. For general cleaning, we use appropriate pressure to clean without stripping paint.

  • Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?

    Yes, we have specialized treatments for oil, rust, and other tough stains on concrete and paver surfaces. While not all stains can be completely eliminated, we can significantly improve their appearance.

  • Do you clean windows too?

    Yes, we offer professional window cleaning services for both interior and exterior windows, including screen cleaning and track detailing.

  • Can you clean my deck before I stain it?

    Absolutely! We recommend professional deck cleaning before staining to remove dirt, mildew, and old stain residue. This ensures better adhesion and longer-lasting results for your new stain.

SAFETY & PREPARATION QUESTIONS

  • Is your cleaning process safe for my plants and landscaping?

    Yes, we use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions and take precautions to protect your landscaping. We pre-wet plants before cleaning and rinse them afterward. Our solutions are also pet-safe once dry.

  • Do I need to be home during the service?

    No, you don't need to be home as long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and any water spigots we may need. We'll coordinate with you beforehand about access.

  • How should I prepare for pressure washing service?

    Please:

    • Close all windows and doors tightly
    • Remove or secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and potted plants
    • Move vehicles away from the cleaning area
    • Ensure outdoor electrical outlets are covered
    • Notify us of any delicate plants or areas of concern
  • Will pressure washing damage my windows?

    When performed by professionals using proper techniques, pressure washing won't damage windows. We use appropriate pressure and avoid spraying directly at window seals. Soft washing is even safer for areas near windows.

  • Is it safe to pressure wash in cold weather?

    We typically work when temperatures are above 40°F to ensure effective cleaning and prevent freezing. Hudson Valley weather is generally suitable for pressure washing from March through November.

PRICING & SCHEDULING QUESTIONS

  • How much does pressure washing cost?

    Pricing depends on the size of the area, type of surface, level of soiling, and specific services needed. House washing typically starts at $250, driveway cleaning at $150, and roof cleaning at $400. Contact us for a free, personalized estimate.

  • How long does the service take?

    Most residential jobs take 2-4 hours depending on the scope. A typical house wash takes 2-3 hours, while a full property cleaning (house, driveway, deck) may take 4-6 hours. We'll provide a time estimate when you schedule.

  • How often should I have my home pressure washed?

    We recommend:

    • House washing: Once per year
    • Roof cleaning: Every 2-3 years
    • Driveway cleaning: Every 1-2 years
    • Deck cleaning: Annually or before staining
    • However, this can vary based on your home's exposure to trees, moisture, and weather conditions.
  • What happens if it rains on my scheduled day?

    Light rain doesn't affect most services, but heavy rain or storms may require rescheduling. We'll contact you if weather conditions prevent us from working safely. Your safety and quality results are our priority.

    Our cleaning solutions are pet-safe once dry. We recommend keeping pets indoors during the cleaning process and for a few hours afterward until surfaces are completely dry.

  • How long do the results last?

    Results typically last 1-2 years for house washing and 2-3 years for roof cleaning, depending on your home's environment. Homes in heavily wooded areas or with high humidity may need more frequent cleaning.

  • Can pressure washing increase my home's value?

    Yes! Professional pressure washing significantly improves curb appeal, which can increase property value and help homes sell faster. It's one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make before listing your home.
