Question 2

What is the difference between power washing and soft washing?

Accepted Answer

Power washing uses high-pressure water (2,500-4,000 PSI) and is best for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Soft washing uses low pressure (under 1,000 PSI) combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, wood, stucco, roof shingles, and painted surfaces. Tidemark Exteriors uses the appropriate technique for each surface to avoid damage.

Question 3

Is power washing safe for vinyl siding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when done correctly. Tidemark Exteriors uses a soft wash method for vinyl siding, which applies a cleaning solution at low pressure rather than blasting with high-pressure water. High pressure can crack vinyl, force water behind siding causing mold, and void manufacturer warranties. Soft washing removes mold, mildew, algae, and dirt safely.

Question 4

How often should I have my house power washed?

Accepted Answer

Most homes in Monmouth County benefit from exterior washing every 1 to 2 years. Homes on wooded lots, near the coast, or with north-facing walls that hold moisture may need annual washing. Driveways and patios in high-traffic areas often need annual cleaning. Regular washing prevents staining, protects paint and siding, and maintains curb appeal.
