Pressure Washing Contractors In Your Area


Power washing (or pressure washing) is a great way to clean off stubborn debris on concrete patios and steps, wood decks, siding, and driveways. Not only will cleaning off dirt, grime, and moss help make your home's exterior look like new, but it'll also prevent build-up from breaking through various materials' protective seals.

Home washing companies offer two different services: power washing and pressure washing. Power washing contractors remove organic stains, including mold, fungus, and soil, with heated water. Pressure washing companies use pressurized water to push drier stains, like dust and layered dirt, away from your home's exterior. Depending on the surface, high pressure (about 3500-4000 PSI) or lower pressure may be used. High pressure can also be used to remove old paint, leaving the surface ready for primer.

While home pressure washing units are available, a professional power washer near you has the right high-powered equipment as well as biodegradeable cleaning solutions to really get the grime out.
