How professional pressure washing extends the life of your exterior
Moss, algae, and salt do more damage than weather. A yearly wash protects siding, decks, and concrete.
Vancouver weather is hard on exterior surfaces. We get 160 plus rain days a year, the air carries salt off the inlet, and shaded north facing walls grow moss in places you cannot see from the street. Left alone, that growth holds moisture against your siding, breaks down sealants, and creates the conditions for rot.
Professional pressure washing is not about blasting at maximum pressure. It is about choosing the correct PSI, nozzle, and detergent for each surface. Painted wood siding needs low pressure and a soft wash chemical to lift growth without driving water behind the boards. Concrete driveways and patios take 3000 PSI with a surface cleaner attachment. Vinyl tolerates more pressure but only at the right angle. Stucco is the most delicate of the common exteriors and needs experience to clean without etching.
"When others don't show up, we do."
We recommend an annual wash for most Metro Vancouver homes, timed for late spring once the rainy season has eased. North facing walls, anything under tree cover, and properties within five blocks of the water benefit from a second wash in the fall.
Annual washing extends the life of paint and sealants by years, not months. More importantly, it prevents slip hazards on walkways and entries. Algae on a concrete porch in November is a lawsuit waiting to happen if you rent the unit or run a small business out of the address.
Lastminute pressure washing crews bring hot water units for grease, soft wash chemistry for siding, and surface cleaners for flatwork. We can also bundle gutter clearing and window cleaning into the same visit so you only book once.
