Pressure Washing FAQ for Des Moines Homeowners

How often should Des Moines homeowners get pressure washing?
Given Des Moines's extreme temperature range: -20°f winter wind chills to 100°f+ summer days, most homeowners benefit from pressure washing at least once a year. Post-hail storm roof and siding inspection (May–July) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Des Moines most need pressure washing?
Brick ranch and Cape Cod homes throughout Polk County and Victorian and Craftsman homes in Sherman Hill and Ingersoll Park are the most common home types in Des Moines 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.
