Expert Home Pressure Washing

Washing and cleaning the exterior of your home or commercial building is vital to maintaining it. Painted areas collect mold and mildew every 8 to 18 months. Wet brick and concrete will also accumulate moss and algae. Additionally, shady and humid areas are the most prone to outdoor organic growth.

Removing debris from outdoor surfaces helps them last longer. Due to Raleigh’s high humidity, we recommend this annually. If you see black spots or green growth, it’s time to have it removed with a low-pressure (soft-wash) that includes a cleaning agent.

Our services improve curb appeal, including renewal, repair, and painting. Start with a comprehensive service that never leaves you wondering who to hire. We take care of it all!

Service Process & Details to Consider

Most companies’ annual services focus on removing dirt. Contaminant removal for painting requires removing all organic growth. All substrates must be rinsed with a solution that kills all visible and invisible growth.

• Protect
• Wash
• Rinse

The solution is usually stronger. So, areas must be protected to prevent killing plants and staining floors, carpets, and other surroundings. Here are a few tips and things to consider based on each service.

Covering Exposed Outdoor Receptacles:

• Please check that all outdoor outlets are weatherproofed, sealed, and working before the work begins.
• If an electrical outlet is exposed to excess moisture, it will burn out the outlet, which requires replacement.

Plant Protection:

• We pre-rinse all fragile plants and shrubs, especially during the hotter seasons.
• Cover extra-sensitive flowers and shrubs to prevent burning the leaves or killing the plants.
• We recommend covering or removing all vines and Japanese maples near washed areas. This will prevent exposure to airborne spray or runoff.

Window Protection:

• Close and lock all windows to prevent water entry.
• Removing the screens beforehand allows for a more thorough rinse of the windows.
• Windows on the sunny sides are subject to water spots.

Window Cleaning:

• Achieving spotless windows is an extra service, separate from house washing.
• Window sills on upper windows may have residual dirt.

Note: We do not apply high pressure to window sills to prevent water entry and potential floor damage. If you have hired us for your coatings, the painters will dust and remove any missed debris from the sills once they arrive.

Door Protection:

• Cover mahogany, pine, and other natural wood doors with plastic. This prevents water damage to faded or degraded finishes.
• Place a towel behind the doors to prevent hardwood and carpets from getting wet or stained.

Stained Ceilings:

• Discoloration and water spots occur on older stained ceilings if they get too wet.
• If we are not finishing the ceiling, it’s best to avoid washing it.

Asphalt Roof Spot and Stain Removal

Roofs on homes and buildings are large and need surface restoration every so often. This process ensures all areas look presentable, especially the front facade. However, if roof stains have been there for a long time, they may not come off. Restoring new or lightly stained roofs is achievable with light solutions and rinsing.

Wood Materials

Applying high pressure to wood causes it to fray and become rough. Wood restoration involves dedicated wood chemicals and combines medium to low-pressure.

• Decks
• Pergolas
• Fences

More complex wood restorations and areas with heavy mold, mildew, or moss require more pressure, also called blasting.

Concrete, Brick, & Masonry

Professional machines range from 3,500 to 5,500 PSI and put out 3 to 8 gallons of water per minute. Higher pressure shoots water farther. This helps clean higher spots from the ground. Larger machines also blast concrete faster and better with more pressure.

• Driveways
• Walks
• Patios
• Foundations

We use surface cleaners for large driveways, which makes the process faster and reduces our water usage.

Metal Gutter Stain Removal

Water runoff from an asphalt shingle roof can stain aluminum gutters. Tar, acid rain, and other elements leave unsightly stains. These blemishes show up most on white gutters. Unfortunately, the only way to remove discolorations from gutters that are not moss, mold, or mildew is to scrub them by hand with Purple Power.

If you see dark lines on your gutters after we have used traditional soap and bleach, those stains are not organic growth.
