Pressure washing FAQs

Q: Is there a difference between power washing and pressure washing?

A: 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.

Q: How often should you pressure wash your house?

A: 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 Toronto’s diverse four-season climate, many homeowners benefit from seasonal maintenance to prevent long-term damage. Spring and fall are particularly important transition points when exterior surfaces need attention.

For optimal results in our Greater Toronto Area weather conditions, we recommend scheduling pressure washing in early spring to remove winter’s salt residue and grime, plus a fall cleaning to prevent leaf stains and prepare surfaces for winter’s freeze-thaw cycles.

Q: Why is pressure washing important in Ontario?

A: Ontario experiences dramatic seasonal shifts throughout the year, from snowy winters to hot, humid summers.

The freeze-thaw cycles combined with Toronto’s use of road salt create a perfect environment for concrete deterioration, while summer humidity encourages algae and mold growth on north-facing surfaces.

These environmental factors accelerate wear on exterior surfaces and create potential safety hazards when wet. Regular pressure washing removes these damaging elements while restoring your property’s visual appeal and structural integrity.

Q: How much does pressure washing in Toronto cost?

A: 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.

Q: How long does it take to power wash a house?

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

Q: Can you power wash vinyl siding?

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

Q: Can you damage concrete by power washing?

A: 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.

Q: How do you protect interlocking stone driveways common in Toronto neighborhoods?

A: Interlocking stone driveways, popular in many Toronto neighborhoods like Leaside and Forest Hill, require special attention during pressure washing.

Our technicians use precise pressure settings and specialized nozzles that effectively clean without disturbing the polymeric sand between pavers. We also reseal joints when necessary to prevent weed growth and maintain the structural integrity that makes these driveways such an attractive feature of Toronto homes.

Q: What solutions do you offer for Toronto’s century homes with heritage materials?

A: Toronto’s historic neighborhoods feature many century homes with delicate brick, limestone, and other heritage materials that demand careful handling.

Our team uses adjustable pressure settings and specialized cleaning techniques for these sensitive surfaces. We’re familiar with the unique challenges of Annex Victorian homes, Cabbagetown heritage properties, and other historic Toronto architecture. Our gentle approach removes pollutants and biological growth while preserving the character and integrity of these irreplaceable materials.
