Pressure Washing in Lakewood, CO

Concrete is where high pressure belongs. Driveways, sidewalks, and patios take years of oil drips, tire marks, ice-melt residue, and the general gray film the front range settles on everything — and a surface cleaner attachment takes it off evenly, without the stripey wand-mark look of a rushed job. Oil and rust spots get pre-treated with the right chemistry rather than blasted deeper. The before-and-after on a twenty-year-old driveway is the most satisfying photo in this whole catalog.

Wood is where restraint earns its money. High pressure on a deck or cedar fence raises the grain, gouges soft spring-wood, and leaves fuzz that has to be sanded off before any stain can go on — I wash wood at low pressure with a cleaner doing the actual work, which gets it cleaner and leaves it smooth. This is also the mandatory first step before staining or sealing, and as the person who does both, I time the wash so the wood is properly dry when the finish goes on.

Houses themselves mostly want soft washing: low pressure and the right solution for siding, stucco, and painted surfaces. Forced water has a talent for finding its way behind lap siding, into soffit vents, and through window seals — so the house wash that's safe is the one driven by chemistry and rinsed gently. It's the correct prep before exterior painting, it's how north-side mildew comes off stucco, and it's the version that never turns a cleaning into a repair.
