Pressure Washing
Vancouver
SOAP. NOT FORCE.
Concrete takes pressure. Siding takes a soft wash and a solution — because water forced behind cladding does not come back out. Pressure washing Vancouver, the North Shore and Burnaby.

"Absolutely amazing work. The roof looks brand new and they finished in one day. Couldn't be happier."
"Good communication, showed up on time and did a great job. Cleaned up all of the mess. Good value, will use them again."
"We had a lot of moss buildup on our roof and honestly didn't realize how bad it was until they showed us before and after. The crew was professional, fast and very respectful. Roof looks completely clean now. Highly recommend for anyone in Surrey needing roof cleaning."

What another season costs you
Waiting Is Not Free.
A dirty wall is the symptom. The cost is what the growth does to the coating underneath while you decide whether it can wait another year.
Your Paint Goes Early
Organic growth holds moisture against stucco and painted siding. That is what lifts and blisters paint years before it should have gone — and a repaint is not in the same price bracket as a wash.
It Does Not Stop On Its Own
Nothing about a Vancouver winter slows it down. What starts as a shadow on one wall spreads across the whole face of it, and a light film that would have come off easily in spring turns into a job that needs dwell time and a second pass.
Someone Slips
Algae on a north-facing driveway or a shaded set of stairs is a genuine slip hazard by November, not just something that looks bad from the street.
The other option is you, a rented machine and a ladder.
A rental wand at the wrong PSI aimed at vinyl or Hardie drives water up behind the laps and into the sheathing, where it does not come back out. That is the single most expensive mistake on a Vancouver house, and it is usually made on a Saturday by someone trying to save a few hundred dollars. Three-storey ladder work on a Vancouver lot is our risk, not yours — we are WorkSafe BC registered and carry $2M liability.

It Isn't Dirt.
It's Growing.
Vancouver averages 1,457 mm of rain a year and 161 rain days. North Vancouver gets closer to 2,500 mm. That green film down the north wall is algae colonizing the surface — and it does not rinse off, because it has roots in the coating.
The North Wall Goes First
The side that never sees direct sun stays damp for months. That is where algae starts, and it is why one wall looks years older than the rest of the house.
Pressure Forces Water In
A high-PSI tip aimed at vinyl or Hardie drives water up behind the laps and into the sheathing. It does not come back out. This is the single most expensive mistake on a Vancouver house.
Slippery Concrete
Algae on a north-facing driveway or a shaded set of stairs is a genuine slip hazard by November, not just a cosmetic one.
Stucco and Paint
Organic growth holds moisture against stucco and painted siding, which is what lifts and blisters paint years before it should have gone. The same thing happens overhead, which is why roof moss removal in Vancouver is usually the other half of this job.
What Vancouver siding is up against
Stucco, Shade and
Rain That Does Not Stop.
Vancouver and the North Shore give exterior growth more of what it wants than almost anywhere else in the country: shade, moisture, and months of it at a time.
Stucco and painted character homes
Older Vancouver housing stock is far more likely to be stucco or painted wood than vinyl. Stucco is porous, so growth gets a foothold in the surface rather than sitting on top of it, and painted wood will not forgive high pressure at all. Both are soft wash jobs, not pressure jobs.
Tree cover that never lets a wall dry
On the west side and across the North Shore the mature conifer that shades the garden also shades the house. A north wall under a Douglas fir can stay damp right through summer, and that is where the green starts.
Slopes, stairs and no driveway
A lot of North Shore and East Vancouver properties have the working area above or below the house rather than beside it. It changes how we set up and how long a job takes, which is why a same-size house can price differently here than it would in the valley.

How to Tell Your House
Needs Washing.
Most people in Vancouver book a pressure wash once the house already looks bad from the street. These are the signs that show up first — and three of them get harder to remove the longer they sit.
- A green or black film on the north wall while the sunny side still looks fine
- Dark streaks running down from the gutter line across siding or stucco — often a sign the gutters need clearing too
- Moss in the mortar joints or between the paving stones on a patio or walkway
- Paint lifting or blistering on a shaded wall, years before it should have gone
- Slippery patches on the driveway, steps or a north-facing path by autumn
- It has been over two years, or over a year on the North Shore and anywhere under tree cover

Pressure Where It Belongs.
Soft Wash Where It Doesn't.
The Right PSI Per Surface
Siding gets soft wash under 500 PSI with a cleaning solution. Concrete gets real pressure. Cedar gets something in between. One setting for the whole house is how sidings get wrecked.
A Solution, Not Just Water
Algae has to be killed, not knocked off. We apply a biodegradable soap, give it dwell time, then rinse — which is why the green does not reappear in six weeks.
Plants Covered and Rinsed
Beds tarped before we start, and everything soaked down before and after. Your hydrangeas do not pay for the clean siding.
Surface Cleaner on Flat Work
Driveways and patios are done with a flat surface cleaner, not a wand. Even finish, no zebra stripes to look at for the next five years.
Fully Insured & WCB
$2M liability and WorkSafe BC coverage. Three-storey ladder work on a Vancouver lot is our risk, not yours.

Where we work
Pressure Washing Vancouver,
North Shore and Burnaby.
Power washing and pressure washing are the same job under two names — people search both, so we answer to both. Here is where we do it.
Pressure washing Vancouver
Kitsilano, Dunbar, Point Grey, Kerrisdale, Marpole, Mount Pleasant, Hastings-Sunrise, Renfrew, Killarney and Shaughnessy. Stucco, vinyl, Hardie and painted wood all get a soft wash, not a blast.
Power washing North Vancouver
Lynn Valley, Deep Cove, Lonsdale, Edgemont, Capilano and Seymour. Wetter than the city side, heavier growth, and usually a bigger job for the same size of house.
Pressure washing Burnaby & New West
Burnaby Heights, Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, Sperling and the Uptown and Queens Park streets in New Westminster.
Driveway pressure washing
Concrete, exposed aggregate and paving stones cleaned with a flat surface cleaner rather than a wand, so you get an even finish instead of stripes.
Common questions
Pressure Washing FAQ
Vancouver BC
Every two years is realistic for most of Vancouver, and every year is not unreasonable on the North Shore or anywhere the house sits under mature conifer. The limiting factor here is not dirt, it is how long the wall stays wet — and on a shaded north elevation that can be most of the year.
In everyday use, yes — people searching power washing Vancouver and pressure washing Vancouver want the same job done. Strictly speaking a power washer heats the water and a pressure washer does not, and hot water helps on grease and oil. What actually matters for your house is not the name but the pressure and the solution used on each surface.
It can, and this is the part worth reading. High pressure aimed at vinyl or fibre cement forces water up behind the laps and into the sheathing, where it has no way out. It also strips paint and chews soft cedar. We soft wash siding — low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills the algae — and save real pressure for concrete.
Soft washing is cleaning with a biodegradable solution and low pressure instead of force. The solution kills the algae, mould and mildew at the surface, gets a few minutes of dwell time, then gets rinsed off. It is slower than blasting and the result lasts considerably longer, because you have killed the growth rather than knocked the top off it.
Every one to two years for most homes. North-facing walls, shaded lots and anything under a big tree canopy are on the shorter end — on the North Shore, annually is realistic. Somewhere dry and sunny might stretch to three years. If you can see green on the siding, it is due.
Yes, and they are usually booked with the house. Driveway pressure washing is done with a flat surface cleaner rather than a wand so the finish is even instead of striped. Paving stone patios can be re-sanded afterwards if the joints have washed out. Fences get a gentler setting, since cedar furs up under too much pressure.
We use your outdoor tap, which adds a few dollars to a water bill at most. Our equipment runs on its own power. If you are on a strata or a commercial site with no accessible tap, tell us when you call and we will bring a tank.
Not if it is done properly. Beds get tarped, and everything nearby gets soaked with plain water before we start and again after we rinse — dilution is what protects plants. Most damage people hear about comes from strong solution left sitting on dry foliage, which is avoidable.
Yes, and it saves a visit. If the roof is being cleaned, that goes first, because washing a roof sends moss and grit straight down into the gutters and onto the siding. Order matters: roof, then gutters, then siding, then flat work.
