Pressure Washing in Raleigh, NC

Raleigh mixes older in-town lots under mature oaks and pines with newer infill homes.

Raleigh lots under oaks and pines collect leaf tannins and pollen, and shaded north sides go green first. We start with a test patch on older concrete, which is more porous.

What we watch for in Raleigh

Heavy tree cover drops pollen, leaves and needles onto concrete and keeps shaded surfaces damp, which grows algae. Red clay tracks in from yards and construction.

Red clay

Piedmont clay carries iron oxide. It tracks onto driveways and splashes up siding, and it can leave an orange tint that needs the right cleaner, not just more pressure.

Pollen season

Pine and oak pollen peaks in spring. Washing at the very start of the season means doing it twice, so we usually schedule after the heaviest weeks pass.

How a pressure washing job goes

Look and test. We check the surface, the stain and what is around it (plants, gaps in siding, window seals) before choosing pressure and detergent.
Pre-treat. Algae and mildew are killed at the root with a cleaning solution that dwells on the surface. Pressure alone only removes the top layer.
Wash. Concrete gets a rotary surface cleaner for even lines. Siding, fences and wood get lower pressure so the material is not damaged.
Rinse and walk it. We rinse runoff away from beds and drains, then walk the job with you before we leave.

Questions

Do you offer pressure washing in Raleigh?

Yes. We serve Raleigh and nearby towns. Older in-town streets, newer infill and everything around the Beltline. Send the form or call and we will book a time.

Will pressure washing damage my driveway or siding?

It can if pressure is too high or the nozzle is too close. Concrete tolerates strong pressure with a surface cleaner. Vinyl siding, wood, and older mortar need lower pressure and soft-wash chemistry. We pick the method per surface.

How often should a driveway be washed?

In the humid Triangle, shaded driveways often show algae within a year. Sunny ones may go longer. Sealing afterward slows the return.
