One family in Cloverleaf had mold streaks on their stucco walls and a driveway slick from algae. They called D&I Painting Services after trying to scrub it themselves with little success. We came by the next day and used power washing and pressure washing to clean the home top to bottom. In a few hours, the green was gone, the driveway was dry, and the house looked years younger. That’s the value of using both power and pressure washing methods correctly.
What Is Power Washing and Pressure Washing?
Both methods use high-pressure water to clean surfaces. Power washing uses hot water, while pressure washing uses cold water. Each works best on different surfaces. At D&I Painting Services, we use both methods based on what your home or building needs.
Why Power Washing and Pressure Washing Matter in Houston
Houston’s heat, rain, and humidity grow mold fast. Concrete stains. Siding gets dirty. Walkways turn slick. Power washing and pressure washing help stop long-term damage, remove stains, and make properties look fresh and safe again.
Surfaces We Clean with Power Washing and Pressure Washing
- Driveways and sidewalks
- Exterior walls and siding
- Stucco and brick
- Wood decks and fences
- Garage floors
- Patios and porches
Our Cleaning Process
At D&I Painting Services, we clean surfaces in five basic steps:
- Walk the property and check surfaces
- Cover plants and protect doors or windows
- Apply cleaner if needed
- Use power or pressure washers at proper settings
- Rinse and check every area before leaving
How We Choose Between Power and Pressure Washing
For grease, oil, or deep stains, we use power washing with heated water. For siding, fences, and painted areas, we use pressure washing with cold water and gentle nozzles. Using the right one keeps surfaces clean without damage.
Is Power or Pressure Washing Safe?
Yes—if done the right way. D&I Painting Services uses safe pressures and spray tips for every job. We don’t blast paint off siding or force water into cracks. We test settings on-site and adjust based on surface type and condition.
How Often Should You Schedule a Wash?
Most homes in Houston need power washing and pressure washing once a year. Shaded homes or homes near trees may need two cleanings a year to stop mold and algae. Driveways may need extra attention if they get a lot of traffic.
Benefits of Regular Power and Pressure Washing
- Keeps your home or business clean
- Removes mold, mildew, and algae buildup
- Stops stains from setting into concrete
- Makes outdoor areas safer to walk on
- Helps prep for painting or sealing
Home Exterior Washing
Stucco, vinyl siding, and wood walls build up dust and mold. We use low-pressure water and safe angles to clean without stripping paint. In neighborhoods like Pasadena, Jacinto City, and Spring, many homeowners use us for yearly siding washes.
Deck and Fence Cleaning
Wood holds water and mold. That makes decks and fences look gray or green. We use light pressure to clean without splintering wood. After a wash, you can stain or seal the surface for better protection.
Concrete Cleaning for Driveways and Patios
Concrete is strong but stains fast. Oil, tire marks, and mildew sink into the surface. Power washing pulls these out. We use special tips and high heat to clean deeply without chipping the concrete.
Power and Pressure Washing for Businesses
D&I Painting Services also serves offices, storefronts, and rental properties. We clean walkways, building facades, dumpsters, and entry areas. In Missouri City and West University Place, property managers call us before inspections and tenant changes.
How Much Does Power Washing and Pressure Washing Cost?
Prices start at $100 for small jobs. Home exteriors often range from $250 to $400. Cost depends on square footage, surface type, and how dirty it is. We give quotes in person so you know the full price before we begin.
How Long Does It Take?
Small driveways or patios take 1 to 2 hours. Full homes take 4 to 6 hours. Businesses and large properties may take a full day. We work carefully and keep your yard and driveway clean as we go.
