Pressure Washing FAQ

Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions

What is the difference between power washing and pressure washing?

The two terms are interchangeable. Power washing and pressure washing both simply mean using water at specific pressures and flow rates to deep-clean surfaces.

How often should I have exterior surfaces power washed?

For most surfaces, power washing once a year is sufficient. However, some surfaces accumulate build-up more quickly because of their composition or because they are near a tree, smokestack, or some other source of pollution like smoke or damaging substance like sap or pollen.

Why should I hire professionals to pressure wash surfaces on and around my home?

Pressure washing is best left to the professionals. If you set pressure too high or hold the nozzle too close to a surface, you can do permanent damage to the surface. Experienced pressure washing pros know what type of cleaning solutions and what level of pressure to use on different types of surfaces. This experience will not only prevent damage to your home, but it is also essential for getting the best cleaning results. K&M has the cleaning solutions, pressure washing equipment, insurance, and experience to guarantee you get what you pay for: pressure washing done right!

Can pressure washing damage my home?

Yes, high pressure and heat can damage your home’s exterior. It is important that you choose a company that has the knowledge and experience to clean different types of surfaces without damaging them. K&M can clean all surfaces around your home in a safe, effective manner.
