With powerful, eco-friendly equipment and a skilled team of technicians, we help homeowners across Southern Ontario maintain pristine exteriors that protect their investment and boost curb appeal.

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

It’s easy to confuse these two terms, but they’re not interchangeable.

Power washing uses heated, high-pressure water – typically between 130–190°F – to blast away grease, mold, algae, and tough stains. The heat breaks down stubborn contaminants, making it the go-to choice for deep cleans.

Pressure washing, on the other hand, relies on unheated water and is best suited for lighter tasks, like dirt or pollen removal from more delicate surfaces.

Not sure which method is right for your home? Our experts will assess your needs and recommend the safest, most effective solution.

When Power Washing Is the Right Choice

Power washing is ideal for:

  • Mold and mildew buildup on siding

  • Grease stains on driveways or patios

  • Algae on roofs or brick

  • Heavily soiled walkways

When Pressure Washing Works Best

Use pressure washing for:

  • Painted or stained wood siding

  • Window cleaning

  • Light dirt on fences or decks

  • Routine maintenance

The Big Benefits of Residential Power Washing

More than a cosmetic boost, power washing delivers long-term value:

Boost Curb Appeal and Property Value

A clean exterior can significantly raise your home’s perceived value – especially important if you’re selling.

Prevent Damage Before It Starts

Dirt, mold, and mildew break down exterior materials over time. Regular cleaning prevents costly repairs.

Healthier Living Environment

Power washing removes allergens like mold and pollen, creating a safer space for your family and guests.

How Often Should You Power Wash?

Frequency depends on location, material, and weather, but here are some general guidelines:

Seasonal Best Practices

  • Spring: Remove winter residue and prep for summer.

  • Fall: Clear debris before freezing temps hit.

Signs It’s Time

  • Discoloration or staining on siding

  • Moss or algae buildup on the roof
