Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions - Answered By ADs House Washing
What’s The Difference Between Pressure Washing And Soft Washing?
The type of washing is going to depend on how your home is built, the materials used, and its surroundings. Typically, you'll be getting one or the other done to your home unless you're getting your entire home done top to bottom. In that case, you're going to want a soft wash for the roof, windows, and sidings and a pressure wash for your driveway, walkways and patios. Overall, the job would need to be broken into two phases — the first phase would be pressure washing all the hard surfaces, and the second phase of soft washing for the rest of the home.
How Often Should I Get My House Washed?
It can be challenging to know precisely how often to wash the outside of your home. Most of the time, simply looking at your house will tell you when the time for a good scrub down is needed. Run your finger along with the siding. If a lot of dirt is present, or your house just looks dirty, set up an appointment with your professional pressure washer cleaner.
Is It Safe To Use High Pressure Washing On My Deck?
Not all surfaces need to be pressure washed. More complex surfaces such as decks, sidewalks, and driveways can pressure the wash, whereas you should not clean softer surfaces like roofs with high pressure to avoid knocking the shingles loose. Other surfaces like vinyl siding can also handle good pressure washing, while aluminum siding can dent from high-pressure washing. A high-pressure wash can effectively wash wood clapboard siding, too. Still, if contractors built the house before 1978, you might want to have the exterior paint tested first by an EPA-licensed lead remediation specialist. If you knock old lead paint loose, it will settle in your soil and never break down because lead is heavy.
