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 four-season climate like British Columbia’s, your home might benefit from more frequent cleanings to keep those outdoor spaces looking their best year-round.

We suggest scheduling pressure washing in the spring to remove winter’s salt residue, pine needles, and grime that accumulated during Kelowna’s snowy months, and again in the fall to clear away pollen, tree sap, and moss growth that can create dangerously slippery surfaces once the wet weather returns.

Why is pressure washing important in British Columbia?

British Columbia features a diverse climate, and Kelowna in particular experiences hot, dry summers followed by cold winters with significant snowfall.

The seasonal transitions between Kelowna’s sunny summers and snowy winters can lead to buildup of organic materials, road salt, moss, and algae on your home’s exterior surfaces in addition to the usual debris.

These accumulations don’t just look unsightly – they can damage concrete, pavers, and wood surfaces over time and create dangerous slip-and-fall conditions, especially during the freeze-thaw cycles common in Kelowna winters. Not to mention, these surfaces will look much less than their best.

How much does pressure washing in Kelowna 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.

What should Kelowna homeowners know about protecting their driveways from freeze-thaw damage?

Kelowna’s winter cycle of freezing nights and occasional daytime thaws can wreak havoc on driveways and walkways. When water seeps into tiny cracks then freezes and expands, it can create larger cracks and deterioration over time.

Regular pressure washing removes the dirt, grime, and organic material that holds moisture against these surfaces. By keeping your concrete or paver surfaces clean, you’re preventing water penetration and extending the life of your driveway. After pressure washing, we recommend applying a quality sealant to provide an extra layer of protection against Okanagan’s winter conditions.

How does professional pressure washing help protect lakefront properties in Kelowna?

Lakefront properties along Okanagan Lake face unique challenges with higher humidity levels, lake spray, and more rapid moss and algae growth.

The proximity to water means these homes tend to develop stubborn green and black staining much faster than properties elsewhere in Kelowna. Our specialized pressure washing techniques are designed to safely remove these persistent stains without damaging your home’s exterior. For lakefront homeowners, we typically recommend bi-annual service to keep those stunning lake-facing patios, decks, and walkways pristine and safe year-round.
