Before Your Visit

How to Prepare Your Home for Pressure Washing

Veteran ownedBrunswick & the Golden IslesFree quotes

St. Brunswick needs some prep before we come out for pressure washing. Simons Island or anywhere in the Golden Isles takes about ten minutes. Doing this before we arrive keeps the job moving and protects nearby stuff that should not get wet or hit with water pressure. Here is the short list.

Clear the surface

Move your vehicles off the driveway and get everything off the concrete and pavers. Toys, planters, grills, hoses, and trash cans all have to go. Leave anything on the ground and either we have to shift it ourselves while working or you end up with a dirty ring around it. That slows things down. A clear surface is the main thing that speeds up a visit.

Close windows and doors nearby

Windows and doors on the side we are washing should stay shut so water does not get inside. This matters most for older homes. When it is windy, mist travels farther than expected.

Move or cover anything delicate near the work area

Pull your pots, cushions, and outdoor furniture back a few feet from the edge of the driveway. Decorations and electronics close to where we are working need to move as well. We are careful around everything. Giving fragile things space removes any risk entirely.

Let us know about pets

Mention your dog or other pets using the yard or driveway when you book so we know. They need to stay inside or on a leash while we are there. Cleaning solutions and running equipment are not things a pet needs to be near.

Point out anything fragile or already damaged

Cracked concrete, loose pavers, and chipped paint on a nearby wall should be pointed out before we start. Tell us about an older or weathered wood fence. We will adjust our approach around it. This means there is no confusion later about damage that was already there.

Note any sensitive landscaping

Pick out any specific plant, flower bed or new grass you are protective of near the driveway or patio. We wet down and protect landscaping along every wall and hard surface we clean as standard practice. Knowing what matters most to you lets us give it extra attention.

What you do not need to do

You do not need to pre-clean anything or move furniture from inside the house. Many customers are at work while we do a straightforward pressure washing visit. You do not even need to be present for a driveway or walkway job once access is clear. If the job includes the house itself, see our soft washing service for what that side of a combined visit involves. Siding work sometimes benefits from someone being reachable in case a question comes up.

After we finish

Drying time for concrete and pavers is within a few hours depending on sun and humidity. Keep cars off a freshly cleaned driveway until it looks dry to avoid tire marks in the wet surface. We will give you a specific wait time if we applied a sealer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be home when you pressure wash my driveway?

Clear access means you do not have to stay home for a walkway or driveway job. Tell us if we are cleaning the house or if anything inside worries you so we can plan the timing.

Should I move my car before you arrive?

Yes. Clearing cars, planters and anything else off the surface before we get there is the single biggest thing that speeds up the visit.

Will pressure washing hurt my grass or plants?

Landscaping along the work area gets soaked with water and protected as a rule. Point out any specific flower or bush you care about beforehand and we will watch out for it.

How soon can I park on my driveway after it is cleaned?

Wait until it looks dry. This usually takes a few hours depending on the sun and humidity. Parking on it while still wet can leave tire marks in the surface.
