Pyramid Power Washing
How often should I have my home power / pressure washed? We recommend (not always needed based on your area) having your house washed at least once per year. This provides consistent protection from harmful algae, mold, and other contaminants. On many surfaces, doing a annual cleaning will suffice. Having your home cleaned more frequently may be due to the area surrounding your home. Such as trees, shrubs, wooded areas & major roadways or just traffic in general.
What is the difference between power washing & soft washing? They all fall under exterior cleaning services. Power washing & soft washing are similar, but there are a few differences. Power washing is just that, “power” a strong stream of water @ high pressure. Which is used to clean extremely hard surfaces such as sidewalks, stone, brick walls, parking garages, building exteriors & concrete.
Pressure washing Can lead to water wastage and potential surface damage, while soft washing is more sustainable and reduces the risk of surface erosion. Power Washing & Soft Washing is always the best two processes.
Soft Washing Employs low-pressure water combined with specialized detergents to remove dirt and contaminants gently. Soft washing focuses on treating surfaces delicately while effectively eliminating contaminants.
Are our power washing services safe for plants, animals, and the environment? Yes, we have ECO Friendly cleansers & chemicals that are 100% safe and biodegradable and our process is 100% safe for plants and animals. Not to leave out we always rise your home or property and plants with fresh water once the chemicals has cleaned the contaminates 100%. Rising with water must be done after cleaning your property.
Do I need to move my plants and or furniture before cleaning? Yes, we prefer customers to move all plants & furniture. Covering furniture is also ok to do if the covers do not blow off while we are rising with water. We can move them, but we do charge to move and or replace all items.

Our process will not clean the front or bottom of your gutters 100% if oxidation has already started. If you see what we call “tiger strips” on the outside of your gutters. What that means is the dirt from years of not cleaning them has oxidized causing it to penetrate the paint as the water drips down. Some dirt will be cleaned but not always 100%
Can we clean oil, grime & rust stains? Yes. But, depending on how long the stain has penetrated the concrete, brick or pavers or any porous material, we cannot guarantee 100% cleanliness. But the stains will be much lighter in color and less visible.
