Pressure Washing
Decks, Fences & Wash · answering 24/7
Quick answer
Pressure washing in Naperville, IL cleans siding, decks, fences, driveways and patios, and each surface needs its own method: siding is soft-washed at low pressure, wood is cleaned gently before stain, and concrete takes higher pressure. Most homes benefit from a wash every year or two.
The job
Clean the surface without damaging it
Dirt, pollen, mildew and algae build up fastest on shaded walls and wood that stays damp. Left alone, mildew stains siding, makes decks slippery and stops new paint or stain from bonding.
We match the method to the surface and protect the rest: plants are wetted and covered, and windows, outlets and lights are shielded before any water goes on.
What this job covers
A
House and siding wash
Vinyl, aluminum, fiber cement and painted wood siding are cleaned with a soft wash: a cleaning solution applied at low pressure, left to work, then rinsed. High pressure can drive water behind siding, lift old paint and etch soft surfaces, so we do not blast walls. The wash removes the green and black growth on north and shaded sides, pollen and webs under the eaves, and the chalk that builds up on faded siding before a repaint. Gutters are rinsed from the outside at the same time, and windows are rinsed clean at the end.
B
Deck and fence wash
Wood is soft, and too much pressure raises the grain into fuzz that has to be sanded before any stain will look right. We clean decks and fences with a wood cleaner and a wide fan tip at low pressure, then apply a brightener that brings back the color of weathered wood. This is the step before staining, and the wood then needs to dry, usually for a couple of days, before a new coat goes on. Railings, stairs and the underside edges are cleaned as well, since mildew hides there first.
C
Driveway and patio cleaning
Concrete driveways, walks and paver patios take higher pressure, applied with a flat surface cleaner so the result is even rather than striped. Oil spots and rust stains are pretreated first, and moss between pavers is cleared. Pavers can lose joint sand when washed, so we refill the joints afterward if needed. Clean concrete looks newer, and it is also the right starting point for a sealer or a garage floor coating. Runoff is directed away from beds and lawn where the slope allows.
What to look for
Signs it is time for a wash
Green film on north walls
Algae grows where siding stays shaded and damp.
Black specks under the eaves
Mildew spreads from soffits and shaded corners.
Chalky residue on siding
Faded paint and vinyl leave a powder that dulls the color.
Gray, slippery deck boards
Weathered wood and mildew make boards slick when wet.
Dark streaks on the driveway
Tire marks, oil and dirt settle into the concrete.
Moss between patio pavers
Shaded joints hold moisture and let growth take root.
Paint or stain on the schedule
Any repaint or restain should start with a wash.
Around Naperville
Naperville's humid summers, with regular thunderstorms and most of the year's roughly 36 inches of precipitation, keep shaded siding and decks damp long enough for algae and mildew to grow. Winters bring about 102 days below freezing, so washing is a warm-season job, since water left in wood or concrete joints before a hard frost can do damage. We book washing from spring into early fall and often pair it with painting or staining.

Tight side yards, landscaping and water access affect set-up.
- 06Follow-on work
Washing before paint or stain is often priced with that job.
Compare the options
Renting a pressure washer, or having us wash
Rental washers are powerful, and that is exactly the risk.
| Item | Doing it yourself | Having us do it |
|---|---|---|
| Siding | High pressure can force water behind siding and strip paint | Soft wash at low pressure with a cleaning solution |
| Wood | A narrow tip gouges and fuzzes deck boards | Wide fan tip, wood cleaner and brightener |
| Concrete | Hand wands leave stripes and uneven patches | A flat surface cleaner for an even result |
| Safety | A ladder plus a pressure wand is a bad combination | Extension wands used from the ground where possible |
Every year or two for most homes, and more often on shaded sides where algae returns quickly.
Not when it is done right. We soft wash siding at low pressure rather than blasting it.
Yes. Cleaning and brightening the wood first is what lets new stain soak in evenly.
We wet plants before and rinse them after, and cover delicate beds, so they come through fine.
Always. Every exterior paint job we do starts with a wash so the new paint bonds.
