Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (1500-4000 PSI) for hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure (100-300 PSI) combined with specialized cleaning solutions for delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, roofs, and painted surfaces. Soft washing is often more effective for biological growth.
Costs vary by service: House washing ranges from $200-600, driveways $100-300, and roofs $300-800. Factors include home size, surface type, level of cleaning needed, and accessibility. We always provide free estimates to give you exact pricing.
