General Questions

1. What is pressure washing?
   It’s a cleaning service where we spray water at strong pressure to lift away dirt, algae, mildew, old stains, and even chewing gum from hard outdoor surfaces such as concrete, brick, and siding. The force of the water does the heavy work, so no harsh scrubbing is needed.
   
   

2. What is paver sealing?
   After pavers are cleaned and dry, we roll or spray on a clear protective coat. This layer locks out water, blocks sun damage, and keeps oil or food spills from soaking in. It also makes the colors look richer.
   
   

3. Why should I seal my pavers?
   Sealing keeps them from fading, stops weeds from sprouting between the joints, cuts down on mold, and makes routine cleaning quicker. In the long run it saves you money on repairs or full replacements.
   
   

4. How often should I pressure-wash my home?
   Once a year is a good rule. If your place is shaded, close to trees, or sees lots of foot traffic, twice a year is even better to prevent buildup.
   
   

5. What surfaces can be pressure-washed?
   Driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks, fences, screened enclosures, gutters, brick walls, stucco, vinyl siding—almost any hard outdoor surface.
   
   

6. Do you offer soft washing?
   Yes. For delicate areas (roofs, painted wood) we lower the water pressure and let gentle cleaners do the work so nothing gets damaged.
   
   

7. Is pressure washing safe for every surface?
   In trained hands, yes. We test a small spot first and dial the pressure down for softer materials so paint, grout, and wood are not harmed.
   
   

8. Do you handle commercial properties too?
   Absolutely—storefronts, restaurants, HOA sidewalks, dumpster pads, loading docks, and parking lots all benefit from routine cleaning.
   
   

9. Do I need to be home during the service?
   No. As long as we can reach the outdoor spigots and the work area is unlocked, you can be at work or running errands.
   
   

10. How long does a typical pressure-washing job take?
    Most homes fall between one and four hours. Larger drives, heavy stains, or multi-service visits (wash + seal) can take longer.
    
    

Preparation & Process

11. Do you clean pavers before sealing?
    Yes. We wash away dirt, algae, and any old sand so the new sealer bonds correctly.
    
    

12. Do you re-sand the joints?
    Definitely. Fresh joint sand keeps the pavers locked together and blocks weeds.
    
    

13. Do you ever use polymeric sand?
    We can. Regular joint sand is standard, but if you want polymeric (it hardens after watering), just let us know.
    
    

14. What type of sealer do you apply?
    We use top-tier, water-based products that let moisture escape, so the surface never peels. You can choose a natural matte or a glossy wet look.
    
    

15. How many coats do you apply?
    Two light coats give the best balance of protection and color depth.
    
    

16. Can you treat efflorescence (white salt spots)?
    Yes. We apply a special cleaner first to dissolve the salts, then rinse and seal.
    
    

17. Do you seal natural stone like travertine?
    Sure. We choose a breathable stone sealer that won’t darken or trap moisture.
    
    

18. Can you strip an old, failing sealer?
    Yes. We use an eco-friendly remover, rinse thoroughly, and start fresh.
    
    

19. Do you clean pool cages or screens?
    We do. A gentle rinse removes algae and insects without tearing the mesh.
    
    

20. Can you get rid of oil or rust stains?
    We pre-treat with spot removers. Deep stains may lighten rather than vanish, but we’ll always improve them as much as possible.
    
    

Pricing & Scheduling

21. What does pressure washing cost?
    Most jobs land between $0.25 and $0.45 per square foot. Heavy staining or tight spaces may cost a bit more.
    
    

22. What does paver sealing cost?
    On average, $1.20–$1.80 per square foot, which includes prep, sanding, and two coats of sealer.
    
    

23. Do you provide free estimates?
    Yes. We visit the site, measure, and send a written quote—no charge.
    
    

24. Any discount for bundling wash & seal?
    Yes. Booking both together saves on setup time, so we pass that savings to you. We also have neighborhood group rates.
    
    

25. Do you require a deposit?
    A 50 % deposit secures your spot on our calendar and covers materials.
    
    

26. What payment methods can I use?
    Cash, check, Zelle, major credit or debit cards.
    
    

27. When do I pay the balance?
    Right after the job is finished and you’re happy with the result.
    
    

28. Is there a late-payment fee?
    Invoices past the due date may accrue modest interest—details are in the contract.
    
    

29. Can you quote over the phone?
    We prefer an on-site visit since every property is unique. That way your price is accurate and final.
    
    

30. Do you work on weekends?
    We try to keep weekends open, but if you need a Saturday slot, we’ll do our best.
    
    

After-Care & Drying Time

31. When can I walk on sealed pavers?
    After about three hours, light foot traffic is fine.
    
    

32. When can I replace my outdoor furniture?
    Give it a full day so the weight doesn’t leave marks.
    
    

33. How long before a car can drive on them?
    Forty-eight hours is ideal for full hardness.
    
    

34. When can I lay rugs or doormats back down?
    Two to three weeks. Trapped moisture under mats can cloud fresh sealer.
    
    

35. How should I care for sealed pavers?
    Sweep now and then, hose off spills quickly, and avoid strong cleaners like bleach.
    
    

36. Are sealed pavers slippery?
    A glossy finish can feel slick when wet. We can add grit for extra grip if needed.
    
    

37. How often should I reseal?
    Every two to three years, depending on sun, traffic, and pool chemicals.
    
    

38. Do you have maintenance plans?
    Yes. Annual checkups with light cleaning and a fresh coat keep everything easy.
    
    

39. What if it rains right after sealing?
    We track the forecast closely. If a pop-up shower spoils the finish, we’ll come back and touch it up free of charge.
    
    

40. Does sealing totally stop weeds?
    Not 100 %, but it makes it much harder for seeds to sprout and roots to spread.
    
    

Cleaning & Challenges

41. Do you remove moss and algae?
    Yes—our cleaners break down the growth, and the rinse washes it away.
    
    

42. Can you strip old paint?
    Usually, yes. Thick or oil-based paint may need extra passes.
    
    

43. Will you clean moldy fences or walls?
    Of course. We treat the mold first, then rinse safely.
    
    

44. Can you take off graffiti?
    Yes. We apply a remover suited to the surface and gently rinse.
    
    

45. Do you clean gutters and downspouts?
    By request, we flush debris so rainwater flows freely.
    
    

46. Can you fix rust marks from sprinkler water?
    Yes, we use a rust dissolver before the main wash.
    
    

47. Do you wash roofs?
    We use a very low-pressure method with safe cleaners to protect shingles and tiles.
    
    

48. Do you clean windows?
    We give them a final rinse, but full window detailing is a separate service.
    
    

49. Can I rent a washer and do it myself?
    You can, but using too much pressure or the wrong tip can etch concrete or tear screens. Many homeowners call us after DIY damage.
    
    

50. Can I seal pavers on my own?
    Yes, yet common mistakes—like cloudy finish or missed spots—often end up costing more to fix than hiring a pro from the start.
    
    

Safety & Responsibility

51. Could pressure washing damage paint or wood?
    If the spray is too strong, yes. We match the pressure to the surface and keep a safe distance.
    
    

52. Will you protect my plants and décor?
    We wet down greenery first and cover delicate items, but please move fragile decorations indoors.
    
    

53. Are your soaps safe?
    We choose biodegradable cleaners that break down quickly and won’t harm pets or grass.
    
    

54. Are you licensed and insured?
    Yes—fully licensed in Florida and covered by liability insurance for your peace of mind.
    
    

55. What if something is damaged?
    If our crew causes the damage and it’s not excluded by contract, we repair or compensate promptly.
    
    

56. Do you use bleach?
    Only when necessary, and always diluted, followed by a thorough rinse.
    
    

57. Is the equipment loud?
    It hums like a lawn mower. We work quickly to keep noise short-lived.
    
    

58. Do you need my water supply?
    Yes. We connect to your outdoor spigot; average use is similar to running a garden hose.
    
    

59. What happens if my city has water restrictions?
    We must follow local rules. If outdoor water use is banned, we’ll reschedule.
    
    

60. Can other contractors work at the same time?
    It’s better they don’t. Fresh dirt or foot traffic can undo our cleaning and sealing.

    Please move them beforehand. We can help with light items, but we’re not responsible for damage.
