Pressure Washing Contractors in Birmingham, Alabama
Pressure washing and power washing for homes and driveways..
Pressure washing removes dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and stains from driveways, sidewalks, decks, siding, and fences. Regular cleaning extends the life of exterior surfaces and is often required before painting or staining. Soft washing uses lower pressure with cleaning solutions for delicate surfaces like vinyl siding and roofing, while high-pressure washing tackles concrete and brick. A professional operator understands which surfaces require which PSI settings to avoid damage — too much pressure can gouge wood, etch concrete, or force water behind siding.

General Pressure Washing FAQs
How much does pressure washing cost?
Pressure washing costs $0.15–$0.75 per square foot depending on the surface and condition. A typical residential driveway (500–800 sq ft) costs $100–$300. House exterior washing: $200–$600. Deck or patio: $100–$250. Fence: $100–$300. Most companies quote flat rates by surface rather than hourly. Soft washing (lower pressure with cleaning chemicals) for vinyl siding or roofing may cost slightly more than standard pressure washing due to the chemicals involved.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (2,000–4,000 PSI) to remove dirt and stains from hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone. Soft washing uses lower pressure (under 1,000 PSI) combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, wood, painted surfaces, and roofing. Using high pressure on the wrong surface can cause damage — gouge wood, etch concrete, force water behind siding, or strip paint. A professional operator knows which technique is appropriate for each surface.
