Pressure Washing FAQ for San Francisco Homeowners

How often should San Francisco homeowners get pressure washing?
Given San Francisco's karl the fog: persistent summer fog from the pacific keeps temperatures at 55–65°f on the west side, most homeowners benefit from pressure washing at least once a year. Year-round fog moisture causing wood rot and paint peeling on west-facing Victorians often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in San Francisco most need pressure washing?
Victorian Painted Ladies and Edwardian flats (most common exterior) and Spanish colonial and stucco in the Sunset and Richmond districts are the most common home types in San Francisco 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.
