Question 1

How is soft-wash different from pressure wash?

Accepted Answer

Pressure wash = 2,500-4,000 PSI water. Soft-wash = 150-300 PSI plus cleaning solution. Pressure wash for concrete, brick, hard surfaces. Soft-wash for siding, stucco, roof, paver joints. Using the wrong one damages the surface.

Question 2

Will pressure washing damage my house?

Accepted Answer

Only if done wrong. We use 4,000 PSI hot water for concrete driveways. Low-pressure soft-wash for everything else. No paint damage, no window seal failures, no paver joint blowout. Written guarantee.

Question 3

How often should I have my driveway washed?

Accepted Answer

Most San Diego driveways every 12-18 months. More frequent for high-traffic homes or those with heavy oil staining.

Question 4

Do you offer eco-friendly options?

Accepted Answer

Yes — biodegradable cleaning solutions available. Tell us in advance. Slightly more expensive but safe for landscaping + ocean runoff.

Question 5

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes — $2M general liability plus full workers comp. Critical for any work involving high pressure water on someone else's property.
