Pressure Washing FAQ for Chicago Homeowners

How often should Chicago homeowners get pressure washing?
Given Chicago's arctic winters with wind chills below -20°f, most homeowners benefit from pressure washing at least once a year. Ice dam formation on roofs (December–February) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Chicago most need pressure washing?
Chicago-style greystones and brick two-flats and Victorian and Craftsman-style homes are the most common home types in Chicago and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should I have my home pressure washed?
Most homes benefit from pressure washing once a year. Homes in humid climates or under heavy tree cover may need cleaning every 6–12 months to stay ahead of mold and algae growth.
Will pressure washing damage my siding or paint?
When done correctly, pressure washing is safe for virtually all exterior surfaces. Our technicians adjust pressure settings for each surface type — using softer settings on painted wood and vinyl, and higher pressure on concrete and brick.
What surfaces can you pressure wash?
We clean driveways, sidewalks, patios, fences, decks, siding, brick, stucco, vinyl, and more. We'll let you know if a surface requires soft washing instead of high-pressure cleaning.
How long does a pressure washing job take?
A typical home exterior takes 2–4 hours depending on size and level of soiling. Driveways and walkways alone usually take 1–2 hours.
Do I need to be home during the service?
Not necessarily, but we recommend being available at the start to discuss any specific concerns and at the end for a walkthrough inspection.
