Pressure washing in Cedar Park is for hard surfaces: driveways, walks, patios, and hardscape, and it is deliberately not for everything. Siding, painted surfaces, and anything with a seam get soft washing instead, because high pressure drives water behind the surface and forces it into places it does not dry out of.
Quick answer
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (~3,000 PSI) to remove dirt, mildew, and stains from durable hard surfaces.
The checklist is the same everywhere. What is on your glass is not. These are the conditions that actually shape this job in Cedar Park. Each one is true here and false in plenty of other towns we serve.
Parts of Cedar Park have been building continuously for years, and cement, gypsum, and stucco fines from nearby work settle on finished homes well beyond the property line. Once those fines get damp they cure into a haze that behaves like a thin mineral film rather than loose dust. Ordinary cleaner does not lift it, and the instinct to wipe it dry is exactly wrong. The particles are abrasive and dragging them across a pane leaves permanent fine scratching. It needs a wet pass with real dwell time before anything with an edge touches the glass.
Hard-surface pressure washing: concrete driveways, sidewalks, brick or stone patios, stamped concrete, paver walkways. ~3,000 PSI hot-water pressure removes oil stains, ground-in dirt, and biological growth.
Soft-wash service, for siding, stucco, painted wood, and any surface that won't survive high pressure. ~500 PSI with a biocidal cleaning solution.
Composite/wood deck cleaning, different solution and pressure for each material; we won't blast away the protective finish.
Fence cleaning: wood, vinyl, or composite. Pre-paint prep is a common request.
Garage floor degreasing, hot-water pressure plus an oil-cutting detergent.
Enter your address. Our autoquoter sizes the property and returns a pressure-wash price. We'll confirm the surfaces and any add-ons when scheduling.
Lead tech identifies what's pressure vs. soft-wash, flags any surfaces we won't touch (brick mortar in poor condition, peeling paint), and sets up appropriate plant/landscaping protection.
Surface-appropriate biocide for soft-wash; degreaser for hard-surface oil stains. Dwell time per the chemistry. We don't rush.
Hot-water pressure for hard surfaces. Soft-wash applicator for siding/stucco. Always work top-down to prevent streak lines.
Final low-pressure rinse to remove any remaining solution. Plants/lawn rinsed clean. Photos emailed showing before/after.

Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles work biological growth (algae, mildew) deep into porous surfaces like concrete and brick. Annual pressure washing is the practical maintenance interval; longer than that and you start losing surface integrity.
Front Range water hardness leaves mineral deposits on hardscape that look like permanent staining. Hot-water pressure with a mild acidic surfactant clears these where cold-water blasting won't.
Hail country (Boulder, Fort Collins, Loveland), after major hail, dimpled siding and damaged shingles drop debris on patios that's easier to remove pressure-washed than left to weather.
We will clean it with a soft wash rather than high pressure. Pressure forces water behind siding and into seams, and that water does not dry out. Soft washing uses low pressure and the right solution to do the same job without the moisture intrusion. Driveways, walks, and patios are where pressure belongs.
Spring is the highest-value time in Cedar Park, once overnight temperatures stay above freezing. It clears the winter's accumulated road chemicals and grime before the freeze-thaw season finishes working on the concrete.
Pressure washing and soft-wash jobs are priced per property from the surface area, material, and access. A driveway costs less than a full house soft-wash, and whole-property bundles are quoted as one line-item price.

Pressure washing is high-pressure water (~3,000 PSI) for durable hard surfaces: concrete, brick, stone. Soft washing is low-pressure (~500 PSI) plus a biocidal cleaning solution for softer surfaces: siding, stucco, painted wood. Soft-wash kills algae, mildew, and bacteria; pressure-wash mostly removes dirt mechanically. The right tool for the surface. Both are necessary.
It can. That's why we soft-wash siding (vinyl, fiber-cement, stucco, painted wood) instead. Soft-wash uses much lower pressure plus a biocidal cleaning solution that does the work chemically rather than mechanically.
Yes, pre-paint prep is one of our most common requests. We'll wash, dry, and (optionally) lightly scuff the surface so primer and paint adhere properly.
