What pressure washing actually does—and when soft wash is better

Pressure washing uses controlled water pressure to lift embedded grime, road film, algae, and stains from tough materials like concrete driveways, sidewalks, and many pavers. It’s ideal after winter when salt haze dulls your approach to the garage or when oil and tire marks make your driveway look older than it is. But not every surface loves high pressure. Delicate or painted materials—vinyl and aluminum siding, wood trim, and especially asphalt shingles—benefit from soft washing, which relies on low pressure and targeted solutions to safely dissolve organic growth. We use both methods daily and choose the right approach per surface so you get a dramatic clean without etching, feathering, or water intrusion.

The biggest “near me” wins in Canton homes

Most Canton homeowners see the fastest curb-appeal upgrade with a driveway clean, because concrete and pavers soak up everything: oil drips, rust from planters, leaf tannins, and that white salt film that lingers after Michigan winters. Next up is a house wash to remove green algae and soot staining on shaded elevations. If your siding has started to dull or streak, see our House & Siding Cleaning guide for timing and care tips. Patios and decks are close behind—especially when you’re prepping for outdoor season or a fresh stain. If you’d like to stack services in one visit (say, driveway + house wash), our Canton page makes it easy to bundle and schedule.

Local conditions that shape the right cleaning plan

Canton’s tree canopy, spring pollen, and humid summers create prime conditions for organic growth. North-facing elevations stay damp and green longer, patios can develop slippery films, and concrete absorbs winter salts that leave a hazy, dusty look. Our process matches those realities: pre-treating organic stains, using heated water when heavy grease is involved, and rinsing thoroughly to protect landscaping. We bring that same local know-how to Livonia, Westland, Northville, Novi, Plymouth, and other nearby towns listed on our Reviews/Service Areas page, so results are consistent across the neighborhoods we serve.

Pressure vs. power vs. soft wash—what’s the difference?

It’s easy to mix up the terms:

Pressure washing is unheated water at controlled pressure—perfect for durable hardscape like concrete and many pavers. Power washing adds heat, which helps break down oil, grease, and gum on tough surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure and tailored solutions for siding, roofs, and trim—places where brute force can cause costly damage.

On a typical job we might soft wash your siding, power wash an oily garage slab, and pressure wash the driveway—all in one visit. That blended approach lets you book once and get the right technique for every surface in the same appointment. See everything we offer under Our Services and pick the combo that fits your home.

Surfaces you should—and shouldn’t—pressure wash

Concrete driveways, sidewalks, and many pavers respond beautifully to pressure when the operator controls distance, flow, and tips for an even, “no-tiger-stripe” finish. Brick usually cleans up well, though we’ll check mortar condition first. Wood decks demand a lighter hand to avoid feathering; we typically follow with a brightener so stain takes evenly. Painted wood, oxidized aluminum siding, EIFS, and asphalt shingles should be soft washed to avoid forcing water where it doesn’t belong. For roofs, we never blast shingles; we soft wash to remove black streaks and moss while protecting the roof system. If you’re unsure what your home needs, we’ll recommend the safest approach and explain why before we start. Explore siding-specific timing on House & Siding Cleaning.

How often should you schedule exterior cleaning?

Exposure and shading drive frequency. A north-facing wall under trees might want a house wash every year, while sunnier sides go 18–24 months between visits. Driveways benefit from a spring clean after de-icer season; patios and decks often need a mid-summer refresh if they’re high-traffic or used for grilling. Roof soft washing is less frequent—do it at the first sign of streaks or moss so growth doesn’t shorten shingle life. When you reach out, we’ll suggest a realistic cadence that keeps things looking fresh without over-servicing. If you’re ready to plan, jump to Canton or Livonia to get on the calendar.

What a professional visit looks like

We start with a walkthrough to confirm scope and flag delicate areas—oxidized siding, hairline driveway cracks, or soft mortar. We pre-wet plants and protect outlets and fixtures, stage hoses to avoid trip hazards, then pre-treat stains. Concrete gets cleaned with a rotary surface tool for that uniform “like-new” look, followed by detail edging along joints. For house washes, we apply a soft-wash solution from the ground, allow dwell time, then rinse completely so trim and windows dry clean. Before we wrap, we walk with you to make sure the results meet your expectations. Want to see what neighbors say? Check our customer reviews.

What affects pricing—and how to save

Pricing reflects square footage, material, staining severity, and access. Wide driveways, long sidewalks, and heavy oil remediation take longer than a light spring rinse. House-wash pricing depends on stories, architectural details, and how much organic growth is present. You can often save by bundling—for example, booking driveway cleaning with a house soft wash during the same visit. Tell us your goals and we’ll tailor a package; the fastest way to start is through Canton or Livonia. For a broader menu, compare options on Our Services.

DIY vs. hiring a pro near Canton

DIY rentals seem cheap—until you factor in time, risk, and the learning curve. Too much pressure too close can etch concrete, scar wood, or drive water behind siding. Generic detergents may leave organic staining behind and can spot windows or trim. A professional setup pairs the right nozzles, flow, heat, and chemistry with trained hands, so surfaces clean fast and safely. Because we handle siding, concrete, decks, roof & gutter cleaning, and window cleaning, you can consolidate your to-do list under one insured team instead of juggling multiple vendors. Skim our About page for how we approach training, safety, and eco-friendly methods.

The best seasons to schedule in Michigan

Spring is ideal for flushing salt and de-icer residue off concrete and clearing gutters after winter winds. Summer offers long dry windows—great for house washing and deck prep. Fall is the time to knock out driveway cleaning before freeze-thaw cycles and to clear gutters after leaf drop. If you’re listing your home, book two to three weeks before photography so landscaping can be tidied after cleaning. Current openings and lead times are posted right on our Canton and Livonia pages.
