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.

With that said, in a humid continental climate like Missouri’s, many St. Louis homeowners benefit from scheduling pressure washing services twice annually. Our region’s combination of hot, sticky summers and cold winters creates ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and stubborn stains to develop on exterior surfaces.

For optimal results in the St. Louis area, we recommend having your home pressure washed in early spring to remove winter salt residue and prep surfaces for outdoor entertaining season, and again in the fall to clear away summer’s accumulated grime and prevent ice-related hazards once winter arrives.

Why is pressure washing important in Missouri?

Missouri experiences all four seasons distinctly, with hot, humid summers and cold winters that can include significant snowfall and ice storms.

The dramatic temperature swings and moisture levels throughout the year create perfect conditions for algae, mold, and mildew to flourish on St. Louis homes, especially those with northern exposures or heavily shaded areas.

These growths don’t just look unsightly – they can deteriorate building materials, create dangerous slip hazards on walkways, and even trigger allergies for family members and guests. Regular pressure washing maintains both your home’s appearance and structural integrity.

How much does pressure washing in St. Louis 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 does pressure washing help protect St. Louis homes from brick deterioration?

St. Louis features thousands of beautiful brick homes, from century-old structures in Soulard to newer brick-faced properties throughout the county. Our region’s freeze-thaw cycles and humidity can cause serious damage to this masonry if not properly maintained.

Our specialized pressure washing techniques gently remove harmful contaminants that accelerate brick deterioration, including the white efflorescence deposits commonly seen on St. Louis brick homes. By cleaning these surfaces professionally, you’re preventing moisture retention that leads to cracking and spalling during winter freezes.

What’s the best time of year for pressure washing in St. Louis?

While we provide pressure washing services year-round, many St. Louis homeowners find early spring ideal for comprehensive exterior cleaning. This timing removes winter’s accumulated grime and salt residue while prepping your home for outdoor entertaining season.

For homes with extensive tree coverage – common in neighborhoods like Clayton, Webster Groves, and Ladue – a fall pressure washing service is also beneficial. This cleans away leaf stains, tree sap, and other debris before winter sets in. For commercial properties, regular quarterly services help maintain professional appearances despite our challenging Midwest weather patterns.
