Science of Clean
What is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing is more than just water—it is a precise orchestration of technology and technique designed to restore your property’s original beauty. At Neighborhood Exterior Co., our student-led approach combines high-grade equipment with a deep understanding of surface integrity. We don’t just spray; we evaluate. By using controlled pressure and specialized cleaning agents, we safely strip away years of organic growth, atmospheric pollutants, and grime without risking the delicate materials of your home. It’s an essential part of property care that enhances curb appeal while preventing long-term structural damage.
Our Meticulous Process
We follow a deliberate, professional approach to ensure your property is treated with the highest level of care from start to finish.
01
Inspection & Surface Evaluation
We begin by walking the property to identify specific surface types, areas of heavy buildup, and any delicate masonry that requires adjusted pressure levels.
03
Pre-Treatment
A specialized cleaning solution is applied to break up organic growth, mildew, and stubborn stains at their source, preparing the surface for a deeper clean.
05
Controlled Pressure Washing
Our team uses professional equipment to rinse away grime using surface-specific pressure settings that prioritize the integrity of your home's materials.
07
Final Rinse & Inspection
We perform a comprehensive final rinse and a joint walkthrough to confirm every detail meets our meticulous standards for cleanliness and safety.
02
Protection & Preparation
Before we start, we secure all outdoor furniture, protect sensitive plants with covers, and ensure all electrical outlets and light fixtures are properly sealed.
04
Dwell Time
We allow our treatments to sit for the precise amount of time needed to maximize effectiveness without letting the solution dry on your property's exterior.
06
Spot Treatment
If any persistent marks remain, we perform a second pass with targeted solutions to ensure an even, high-quality finish across all treated areas.
Surface-Specific Cleaning Care
Our student-led team carefully selects pressure levels and cleaning agents for every material to guarantee a deep refresh while protecting your property.
House Siding
We use a gentle soft-wash approach on vinyl and brick to clear away dust and organic buildup without risking any damage to your home’s structural facade.
Decks & Wood
Utilizing specialized wood cleaners and low pressure, we remove years of weathering to let the natural grain and warmth of your timber deck shine through.
Driveways & Concrete
From driveways to parking pads, our professional equipment lifts tough oil stains and grime, leaving a uniform, streak-free finish on all heavy-traffic zones.
Driveways
Concrete can handle higher pressure, so we use a stronger wash combined with pre-treatment to remove oil stains, tire marks, and deep-set grime.
Fencing
Extend the life of your perimeter with our custom washing techniques that safely eliminate the mold and pollutants causing your fence to age before its time.
Outdoor Furniture
We refresh your outdoor sets by carefully cleaning patio furniture and similar pieces with lower pressure and safe cleaners to ensure deep results without harming delicate materials.
Common Questions
Can you pressure wash most furniture, decks, and patios?
Absolutely. We take an industry-standard, meticulous approach that adjusts pressure levels based on the specific surface. For delicate areas like house siding, we often utilize soft-washing techniques to ensure caution while achieving deep-clean results.
What should I do to prepare for the service?
We handle the heavy lifting of preparation, as outlined in our process. We simply ask that you ensure all doors and windows are tightly closed and that any sensitive items or potted plants are moved from the immediate work area for total property protection.
How long does a typical service visit take?
Timing depends entirely on the size of your property and the types of surfaces we are cleaning. We typically complete medium-sized decks, patios, and driveways in around 2-4 hours. Following our initial inspection and evaluation, we can provide you with a clearer timeline tailored to your specific project needs.
