Power Washing That Doesn't Damage Your Property
Most power washing damage we see — splintered deck boards, etched concrete, lifted siding, killed grass — comes from one mistake: using too much pressure for the surface. We use professional equipment with pressure adjustable from gentle soft-wash up to industrial-grade, and we match the pressure to what the surface can handle. The result: clean surfaces, no damage, no regret.
Surfaces we power wash
- Wood decks — pressure-washed at the right setting to remove grime without splintering. Optional brightener and sealer prep.
- Composite decking — softer pressure to protect the embossed grain finish.
- Concrete driveways & walkways — surface cleaner attachment for streak-free finish, no zebra-striping.
- Interlocking stone & pavers — proper pressure to clean without dislodging joint sand. We can re-sand if needed.
- Vinyl, aluminum, and stucco siding — soft-wash technique with detergent. No water forced under panels.
- Brick and stone façades — gentle approach that respects mortar and historic surfaces.
- Garage floors & commercial parking areas — degreasing and full pressure clean for oil-stained concrete.
Why surface-matched pressure matters
Concrete can take 3000+ PSI. Cedar decking will splinter at 1500. Composite decking will lose its grain at 2000. Vinyl siding can be forced under the panel and trap water at the wrong angle. Knowing what each surface needs is what separates a professional power wash from a destructive one. We've been doing this for a decade and we don't guess.
Pre-sale power washing
One of our most-requested services. Before listing, we can do a full exterior package — windows, gutters, and power wash of driveway/walkways/siding — typically in one day. Listings photograph dramatically better with a freshly cleaned exterior, and buyers form their first impression in the first 30 seconds in the driveway.
Commercial power washing
Storefront sidewalks, gas station forecourts, restaurant patios, condo balconies, parking areas — all on the menu. We work after-hours or before opening to avoid disrupting your business. Recurring contracts available.
Deck restoration: wash, brighten, ready to seal.
A stain job is only as good as the surface under it. We run decks through a proper restoration sequence: a low-pressure soft wash to lift dirt, algae and failing finish, then a wood brightener to open the grain and restore the timber’s natural tone. What you get back is a clean, even, seal-ready surface — not a fuzzed-up board blasted raw by too much pressure.
Booking matters here. Wood needs to dry fully before stain or sealer goes on, so schedule your wash ahead of your staining weekend, not the morning of. Tell us your timeline and we will slot the wash so the deck has time to dry properly.
- Soft wash — lifts grime and failing finish without tearing wood fibre
- Brightener — opens the grain and evens the tone for uniform stain uptake
- Seal-ready handoff — you or your painter stain onto a clean, dry surface
Selling? Start at the curb.
Buyers judge a house before they reach the front door. A driveway striped with tire marks, a walkway green with algae, siding dulled by a season of grime — that all reads as deferred maintenance, whether it is or not. A pressure wash is one of the cheapest, fastest ways to make a listing photograph well and show well.
We match the surface every time: interlock and concrete get the pressure they can handle, siding and brick get a gentler wash. Pair it with window cleaning and the whole front of the house reads sharp.
Beyond the driveway: garages and parkades.
The same surface-matched approach scales up. For condo corporations, property managers and commercial buildings we clean full parking structures — power sweeping, machine floor scrubbing, overhead pipe cleaning, wall and pillar washing, and drain clearing. We just completed a full condo parkade in downtown Collingwood.
