Pressure Washing in Chevy Chase, DC
Your home's exterior takes a beating from weather, dirt and growth. In Chevy Chase, we wash houses, roofs, driveways, decks, fences and patios, and clean storefronts, sidewalks and parking areas for businesses.

Exterior surfaces in District of Columbia get both kinds of weather. Humid summers feed mildew and green algae on shaded siding, decks and fences, spring brings a coat of pollen, and winters add road salt and freeze-thaw cycles that wear concrete. Most homes here do well with an annual wash in spring or early summer and a check of decks and concrete before winter.

Services
Pressure Washing Services in Chevy Chase, DC
House and roof soft washing, driveways, decks, fences, sealing and commercial cleaning. Here are some of the services we provide in Chevy Chase.
Commercial Pressure Washing for EIFS (Synthetic Stucco)
Soft wash. EIFS looks like stucco but is a foam insulation board with a thin acrylic finish coat.
Pre-Paint Washing
Washing siding and trim before painting or staining so new paint bonds to a clean surface.
Pre-Paint Washing for Aluminum Siding
Soft wash. Older aluminum siding often has a chalky, oxidized finish.
Gum Removal for Concrete
Pressure wash with a surface cleaner. Plain broom-finish concrete is the surface pressure washing is made for.
Paver Cleaning & Sealing for Brick
Low-pressure wash. Brick is tough, but the mortar joints are softer than the brick itself, and older soft-fired brick can pit.
Deck Cleaning for Pressure-Treated Wood
Low-pressure wash. Pressure-treated pine is the most common deck and fence wood.
Roof Cleaning
Soft wash roof cleaning that removes black streaks, moss and lichen without the granule damage pressure washing causes.
Pre-Paint Washing for Stucco
Soft wash. Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots.
Pool Deck Cleaning for Concrete
Pressure wash with a surface cleaner. Plain broom-finish concrete is the surface pressure washing is made for.
Restaurant & Drive-Thru Cleaning
Cleaning drive-thru lanes, restaurant entrances, patios and grease areas, usually overnight.
Graffiti Removal for Stone & Stone Veneer
Low-pressure wash. Natural stone and manufactured stone veneer vary a lot.
Soft Washing for Cedar Shake Roofs
Soft wash. Cedar shakes grow moss and lichen and turn gray as the wood weathers.

FAQ
Pressure Washing Questions in Chevy Chase
How much does pressure washing cost in Chevy Chase?
It depends on what's being cleaned and how big it is. Typical U.S. ranges: house washing about $300-$700, roof cleaning about $400-$1,000, a two-car driveway about $150-$400 and deck cleaning about $250-$600. You get a firm price before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean hard surfaces such as concrete and brick pavers. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills mold, mildew and algae, and it's the safe way to clean siding, stucco, roofs and other delicate surfaces. We choose the method for each surface on your property.
Is pressure washing safe for my roof?
Roofs should not be pressure washed. High pressure strips the protective granules from asphalt shingles and can crack tile. Roofs are cleaned with a soft wash: a solution applied at low pressure that kills the algae and moss causing the stains, then rinsed gently.
Will the cleaning solution hurt my plants, lawn or pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, rinse them again afterward and keep the solution diluted to what each surface needs, which protects landscaping. Keep pets and children inside during the wash and until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I have my house washed in Chevy Chase?
Most homes need a house wash every one to two years. Homes with a lot of shade, nearby trees or high humidity often need it every year, and homes in dry, sunny areas can go longer. Roofs typically need cleaning every three to five years, and driveways once a year.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Not usually. We need access to an outdoor water spigot and to every side of the house, windows and doors closed, and cars moved out of the driveway. We'll confirm the details when we book, and we walk the job with you or send photos when we finish.
Can you remove oil, rust and other tough stains?
Often, yes. Oil, rust, efflorescence and hard-water spots each need a specific cleaner, not just more pressure. Fresh stains usually come out completely; old oil stains that have soaked deep into concrete can lighten a lot but may not disappear. We'll tell you what to expect before we start.
What happens if it rains on the day of my appointment?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealing and staining need dry weather. If the weather isn't right, we'll call to reschedule at no charge.
Do you clean commercial properties in Chevy Chase?
Yes. We clean storefronts, sidewalks, parking areas, dumpster pads, restaurants and drive-thrus, fleets, and HOA and apartment buildings, and we can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to stay out of your customers' way.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we carry insurance, and where District of Columbia or your city requires a license for exterior cleaning work, the job is done under that license. You're welcome to ask for proof of insurance when you book. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
