Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing—What’s the Difference?

While many people use these terms interchangeably, there is a difference—and it matters.

Pressure washing uses cold water at high pressure to blast away dirt and debris.

Power washing uses heated water, which is better for removing grease, grime, algae, and mold.

Depending on your surface and the type of stains we’re tackling we are here to help. Not sure what you need? Don’t worry—that’s what we’re here for.

How Often Should You Power Wash Your Home?

We often get asked: "How often should I power wash my house?" A general recommendation is once a year, but it can vary depending on your surroundings.

If your home is surrounded by trees, near a dusty road, or exposed to high humidity, you might need to wash more frequently. Regular power washing not only keeps your home looking its best, it also helps protect your siding, paint, and foundation from long-term damage caused by mold, mildew, and dirt buildup.
