How much does pressure washing cost?

The cost of pressure washing depends on the size of the area being cleaned, the type of surface, and how much buildup needs to be removed. Most homeowners request quotes for driveways, house siding, patios, and roofs. Gateway Power Washing provides clear, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Is pressure washing safe for my house?

Yes, when done correctly. Different surfaces require different cleaning methods. Our team uses the proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions to safely remove dirt, algae, and buildup without damaging siding, concrete, wood, or other exterior materials.

How often should I pressure wash my house?

Most homes benefit from professional pressure washing once a year. In areas with heavy pollen, algae, or moisture, cleaning may be recommended more often to keep surfaces looking clean and well maintained.

Can pressure washing remove oil stains from driveways?

Pressure washing can significantly reduce or remove many oil stains from concrete driveways. Some older or deeply set stains may lighten rather than disappear completely, but professional cleaning usually makes a noticeable improvement.

What surfaces can be pressure washed?

Pressure washing can safely clean many exterior surfaces, including siding, concrete driveways, patios, walkways, decks, fences, roofs, and commercial building exteriors when the correct cleaning method is used.

How long does pressure washing take?

Most residential pressure washing projects take between one and three hours depending on the size of the property and the services requested.

Do I need to be home during the service?

In many cases, you do not need to be home as long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and an outdoor water connection. We’ll confirm all details before the service begins.

Will pressure washing damage concrete or siding?

Improper pressure washing can cause damage. That’s why professional equipment and the correct pressure settings are important. Our team adjusts the cleaning method for each surface to avoid damage while still delivering great results.
