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 Victoria’s rainy winters and increasingly dry summers, your home may benefit from seasonal maintenance to prevent long-term damage and keep surfaces safe. The island’s unique microclimate creates perfect conditions for moss, algae, and lichen growth.

We recommend scheduling a pressure washing service in early spring to remove winter’s accumulated grime and moss growth, and again in fall to prepare surfaces for the rainy season and prevent the slippery buildup that can become hazardous during Victoria’s occasional freezing temperatures.

Why is pressure washing important in British Columbia?

British Columbia’s coastal climate creates unique challenges for homeowners in Victoria, with its combination of rain-soaked winters and increasingly dry, wildfire-smoke affected summers.

The frequent rainfall from October through April creates perfect conditions for moss, algae, and lichen to thrive on your home’s north-facing surfaces, while salt spray affects oceanfront properties in areas like Dallas Road and Cordova Bay.

These natural buildups don’t just affect your home’s appearance—they can damage surfaces over time, create dangerous slip hazards on walkways, and even impact your home’s energy efficiency when growing on siding and roofs. Regular pressure washing prevents these issues while maintaining your property’s value in Victoria’s competitive real estate market.

How much does pressure washing in Victoria 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 Victoria’s ocean proximity affect my home’s exterior surfaces?

Victoria’s coastal location means many homes face unique challenges that mainland properties don’t experience. The salt-laden air, especially in neighborhoods like James Bay, Fairfield, and Oak Bay, can leave a corrosive residue on driveways, decks, and siding.

This salt buildup not only creates unsightly white spots but can actually accelerate deterioration of concrete, metal fixtures, and painted surfaces. Our Victoria technicians use specific techniques and adjustable pressure levels to remove salt deposits without damaging your surfaces.

For waterfront homes directly exposed to ocean spray, we recommend quarterly maintenance to prevent long-term damage that can significantly reduce your property’s lifespan and value.

What specific pressure washing challenges do heritage homes in Victoria face?

Victoria boasts some of Canada’s most beautiful heritage architecture, particularly in neighborhoods like Rockland, Fairfield, and James Bay. These historic homes often feature delicate surfaces like decorative woodwork, heritage brick, and ornate stonework that require specialized care.

Our Victoria technicians are specifically trained in heritage building maintenance, using appropriate pressure levels and techniques for these sensitive materials. We understand the importance of preserving character features while still effectively removing biological growth and grime buildup that can damage these irreplaceable structures.

Many Victoria heritage home owners also appreciate our knowledge of municipal heritage guidelines and our ability to work within those parameters while still delivering exceptional cleaning results that protect your investment.
