Questions and Answers About
New Jersey Powerwashing:

How often should I power wash house walls?

We recommended pressure washing your house every other year - that is usually enough for general home maintenance purposes.

But in some situations (for example, when the house is located in a shady, humid area or near a highway) power washing should be done more often, because those locations encourage the growth of unattractive mold/mildew, moss and algae, or pollution and fuel emission residue on the buildings.

If you see any of the above eyesores on the exterior of your house, it's time for power cleaning - remember that the longer you allow the stains to remain on the surface, the harder (if not impossible) it becomes to remove them.

How long will the effect of powerwashing last?

The answer to your question will depend on 3 things:

1. The location of your house (see the question above).

2. The surface in question - walkways, driveways and decks get dirty faster than walls, because of the foot/paw/car traffic they get. Also, porous surfaces like untreated wood, concrete and brick absorb stains and get soiled easier.

3. The process used - some situations require bleaches and surface cleaners to kill mold and mildew spores and inhibit their growth for a period of time. Also it's important to finish the power washing process by sealing wood, concrete and brick surfaces to protect them from stains and keep them looking clean, longer.

Can surfaces be damaged by pressure washing?

Absolutely! That's why it's vital that you use a professional New Jersey powerwashing contractor to do the work. A high pressure water cleaning machine is a dangerous thing in the hands of a homeowner or unskilled worker. It can not only damage the surfaces, but also cause serious injury. In the hands of a professional, it becomes a powerful tool for deep cleaning a lot of surfaces safely and effectively.

Do you use chemicals for pressure cleaning?

Where possible, and for general maintenance, we try to do without any chemical additives. Some New Jersey powerwashing projects, however, require extra cleaning power (mold, excessive mildew, grease/oil stains, etc.). In those cases we use environmentally friendly cleaners that are also safe to use around plants, pools and pets.

Will my flowers and plants be safe during powerwashing?

We take extra care not to damage your plants and flowers while doing the work. If we find that some of your greenery obstructs the access, we will let you know right away. And in the future, try to foresee potential access challenges when planning your landscape design. As far as the cleaners and bleaches go (if we have to use them) we use products that are gentle and safe for your plants.

Do I need to be present during pressure washing?

The short answer is no. We do a lot of New Jersey powerwashing projects for out of state homeowners and everyone is happy with the process and results. The only thing we need is access to water.

How much does pressure cleaning cost?

Every power washing project is different - it's impossible to give an estimate based on size only. Type of surface, its condition, ease/difficulty of access and other criteria must be taken into account, and for that we need to see the job. With simple projects however, we can often give a rough quote over the phone - all estimates are fast, free and non-binding.
