Pressure washing in Vancouver

Vancouver has two completely different exterior cleaning problems depending on which side of Main Street you are on. The east side is largely stucco and vinyl on tight lots, and the west side is heritage brick, painted wood and mature tree cover.

What Vancouver properties actually need

The older west side housing stock is the trickier work. Painted wood siding on a 1920s house will not take the pressure that vinyl shrugs off, and heritage brick holds moisture in the mortar joints. Both need soft washing rather than a wand, and anyone quoting you a fast job on a heritage home is planning to blast it.

East of Main the problem is usually stucco, which has thousands of tiny pockets holding water in the texture. That is why the green film takes hold there faster than on a smooth surface, and why it comes back on a similar schedule.

Lot lines are tight almost everywhere in the city, so side walkways and the shaded strip between houses are usually the worst part of the property and the part nobody can reach with a garden hose.

Questions from Vancouver homeowners

Do you work on heritage homes on the west side?

Yes, and they get soft washed at low pressure without exception. Painted wood and old mortar are the two surfaces most easily damaged by a pressure washer, so the cleaning solution does the work and the water just rinses.

How quickly can you get out to Vancouver?

Usually within the same week, and often sooner in the shoulder seasons. Send a photo and your address and we will come back with a flat price and the next available date.

Is pricing different in Vancouver?

No. Every area we serve is on the same flat pricing with no travel surcharge. What changes a quote is the size and condition of the property, not the postcode.
