Pressure washing doesn’t require much prep on your end, but a little goes a long way toward a smoother visit and protecting anything close to the work area.

Before We Arrive

01Clear The AreaMove furniture, planters, toys, and vehicles off the surface being cleaned
02Close Nearby WindowsEspecially important for house washing to keep overspray out
03Note Any DamageCracked concrete or loose siding is worth flagging beforehand
04Confirm Water AccessLet us know if there’s anything unusual about your outdoor water access

Do You Need To Be Home?

Not usually. As long as we have access to the area being cleaned and confirmed water access, most jobs can be completed without you present. If access requires a gate code or something similar, just let us know ahead of time.

After The Visit

Surfaces will be wet, so give concrete and wood a few hours to dry before moving furniture back or walking on it heavily. If you’re planning to stain or seal a deck afterward, it’s worth waiting a full day or two to make sure it’s completely dry first.
