Power Washing in Colborne, ON
Years of grime, gone.
If your house faces Highway 2 through Colborne, the side toward the road probably collects more grime than the rest. For power washing in Colborne, we match the pressure to the surface: vinyl and painted wood get a gentle setting, while concrete walkways and patios can take more. Decks and fences are on the list too. Stubborn buildup gets a cleaning solution first, so it comes off without turning the pressure up.
Road Grime and Painted Wood on Colborne Homes
Traffic on Highway 2 kicks up fine dirt and exhaust film that settles on siding, windows and porch rails. On a house close to the road, the side facing it can look a shade darker than the others. Porch ceilings and soffits on that side usually need a pass too. We wash that side with a cleaner made for siding and a gentle setting, then rinse the whole house so every wall matches when we're done.
Painted wood is everywhere on an older Colborne house: porches, railings, trim and old board fences. Pressure washing at the wrong setting strips paint and furs up the grain, so wood gets a wide fan tip and a light touch. If paint comes off at low pressure, it was already failing, and we'll point that out instead of carrying on.
Washing siding on a typical home costs $250 to $500, and driveway washing usually runs $150 to $250 for two cars. The minimum charge is $150, so it's often worth adding the walkway, a patio or the deck to the same visit, and we'll price them together. Siding can usually wait 2 or 3 years between washes, though the road side of a house on Highway 2 may need it sooner.
Pedro handles power washing for driveways, decks, siding and patios. For how he approaches power washing in general, see our power washing page.
How power washing works
Assess the surface
Each material needs a different pressure. Concrete can take a lot; wood siding can't. We set the pressure for each surface.
Pre-treat if needed
Heavy mildew, algae or oil stains get a cleaning solution first, to loosen the buildup before we wash.
Wash
We work across the surface in steady, overlapping passes at a consistent distance, so you don't get zebra stripes. Plants and landscaping are protected from overspray.
Rinse and inspect
A final rinse, then a look over everything to make sure it's clean and nothing got damaged.

Power Washing in Colborne: FAQ
Do you offer power washing in Colborne?

We're repainting our older Colborne house next year. Should it be power washed first?
Yes, it's part of good prep. Washing takes off chalky old paint, dirt and mildew so the new coat can bond. We keep the pressure low enough not to drive water into old wood, and the house needs a couple of dry days afterward before any scraping or priming. Any paint that comes loose in the wash simply gets scraped as part of that prep.
Our walkway and back steps turn green and slippery every fall. Can you clean them?
Yes. Concrete can take more pressure than wood or siding, so we can clean it thoroughly, and heavy growth gets pre-treated first so it lets go. In shady, damp spots the green will come back over time, so a wash once a year keeps it from getting slippery again. If the steps are painted, we'll go lighter so the paint stays put.
