Power Washing in Lindsay, ON

Pressure Settings for Every Era of Lindsay House

In the newer subdivisions, concrete walkways and paver patios collect tire marks, oil drips and a film of dirt that dulls the surface. Concrete can take high pressure, which is what lifts those stains, and heavy oil spots get a pre-treatment first. Paver patios get a gentler pass than poured concrete, since too much pressure can wash out the joint sand. Driveway washing on a standard two-car driveway usually costs $150 to $250.

Vinyl siding on one of Lindsay's mid-century bungalows, or painted wood on an older home near downtown, needs much gentler treatment. Too much pressure drives water behind vinyl or strips paint off old wood. We turn it down, use a cleaner to loosen algae and mildew, and rinse from the top down. Brick and stone around older homes can take moderate pressure, but soft old mortar needs care. Siding on a typical home runs $250 to $500.

For a cottage, spring is the time to wash the deck and siding before the season gets going, so the place looks cared for when you open it up. A clean deck also tells you whether it needs restaining before summer. And if you run a small business near Kent Street, ask about walkways or a storefront, since we look at commercial requests one at a time. There's a $150 minimum on any power washing job.
