Pressure washing FAQs

Is there a difference between power washing and pressure washing?

While these two terms are often used interchangeably and are quite similar to one another, there is a slight difference between these two services. Both power and pressure washing use highly pressurized water to remove grime and other stains from outdoor surfaces, but power washing adds the benefit of heated water, which can often make cleaning these surfaces easier and more thorough.

How often should you pressure wash your house?

It’s up to you! At the bare minimum, we recommend washing the core surfaces of your home (driveway, deck, siding etc.) at least once a year.

In Coquitlam’s rainforest-like climate, with roughly 1700mm of annual rainfall, most homeowners benefit from scheduling maintenance twice annually to combat the persistent moisture that encourages rapid growth of moss, algae, and mildew.

For optimal results in Coquitlam’s unique environment, we recommend pressure washing in April to remove winter grime and address any moss growth after the rainy season, and again in September to clear summer dust and prepare surfaces before the heavy fall rains create slippery conditions when wet leaves begin to accumulate.

Why is pressure washing important in British Columbia?

British Columbia has a predominantly wet, moderate climate with significant rainfall, particularly during fall and winter months.

The constant moisture in Coquitlam, intensified by its position between the mountains and the Fraser River, creates perfect conditions for moss, algae, and mildew to thrive on exterior surfaces year-round.

These natural buildups quickly transform from minor eyesores to significant problems—creating dangerous slipping hazards on walkways, trapping moisture against siding that leads to premature deterioration, and dramatically dulling your home’s appearance in a neighborhood where property presentation matters.

How much does pressure washing in Coquitlam cost?

The cost of our pressure washing service will vary depending on the size of your home, how many surfaces need to be cleaned and if you need any other services from our crew during their visit to your home. If you’d like more pricing information, we’re always happy to come and provide you with a free, zero-obligation estimate for our pressure washing service.

How long does it take to power wash a house?

It all depends on the size of your home, but we promise to always get the job done in one detailed visit.

Can you power wash vinyl siding?

Yes! Our trained technicians are able to safely and efficiently wash softer surface areas, like vinyl siding.

Can you damage concrete by power washing?

When done improperly, it is possible to damage any surface with a power washer. That’s why it’s important to hire the trained professionals at Shack Shine to make sure the job is done right.

How do you handle pressure washing on Coquitlam’s sloped properties?

Many Coquitlam homes, especially in neighborhoods like Westwood Plateau, Burke Mountain, and Hockaday, feature challenging elevations and steep driveways that require specialized equipment and techniques.

Our technicians are specifically trained to handle these unique Coquitlam topographical challenges, using specialized pressure washing equipment with extended reach capabilities and secured positioning systems. We also implement careful water management practices to prevent runoff issues common on steeper properties, protecting both your landscaping and neighboring properties below.

What special considerations do you take for cedar siding common in Coquitlam homes?

Cedar siding, popular in many Coquitlam neighborhoods like Ranch Park and River Heights, requires a gentler approach to pressure washing to preserve its natural beauty and integrity.

For these distinctive West Coast homes, our technicians adjust pressure levels specifically for cedar surfaces, using wider spray patterns and maintaining proper distance to effectively clean without damaging the wood’s soft grain. We’re also mindful of Coquitlam’s older heritage homes in Maillardville and other established neighborhoods, where we take extra care with delicate architectural features while still providing thorough cleaning.
