Why Columbia Homes Need More Than a Rented Washer
Right Pressure, Right Surface
Too much pressure can etch concrete, fuzz wood, and push water behind siding. We match the method to the material.
Safer Than Ladders
We handle the wand kickback, wet footing and second-story work so you do not have to.
Local Stain Knowledge
We know how red clay, pollen and shade algae behave on Midlands surfaces and treat them first.

Residential House Cleaning FAQ, Columbia, SC
How much does pressure washing cost in Columbia, SC?
Driveway washing starts at $129, house soft washing at $249, and full exterior packages at $399. Price depends on surface size, buildup, stories and access. Many Columbia jobs fall between about $164 and $323.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water on hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaner to remove mildew and algae from siding without damage.
Is pressure washing safe for vinyl siding?
Yes, when done with low pressure and the right angle. High pressure can push water behind panels and cause damage, so we soft wash vinyl.
How often should I pressure wash my house in Columbia?
Most homes need a house wash about once a year. Shaded, tree-covered or damp areas may need it every 6 to 12 months.
What is the best time to pressure wash in Columbia?
Late spring, after the heaviest pollen, and early fall are ideal. Avoid freezing days. Dry, mild weather helps surfaces dry evenly.
Can you remove red clay stains?
Usually yes, with pre-treatment on siding and concrete. Deep stains in porous concrete may lighten but not disappear completely.
Can you remove oil and rust stains from a driveway?
Fresh stains often lift well. Old oil and rust may fade rather than vanish. We tell you what to expect before we begin.
Is pressure washing safe for plants, pets and kids?
We pre-wet and rinse plants, choose cleaners suited to each surface, and ask pets and kids to stay inside during the job. Surfaces are safe once dry.
Do I need to be home during the service?
Not always. We need access to the exterior and a working outdoor water spigot. Tell us if there is no spigot.
How long does pressure washing take?
A driveway often takes 1 to 2 hours. A house wash usually takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on size and buildup.
