Pressure washing

Pressure Washing Services in Kitchener-Waterloo

Driveways, patios, decks and house siding cleaned with the right method for each surface. Pressure washing and soft washing for homes and businesses in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph.

Exterior cleaning

Pressure washing in Kitchener-Waterloo for homes and businesses

Ontario weather is hard on outdoor surfaces. Winter salt, spring mud, summer algae and fall leaves leave concrete grey, patios slippery and siding streaked. A proper exterior wash lifts that buildup and makes a property look cared for. Easy Janitorial Solutions cleans driveways, walkways, patios, decks, fences and house exteriors, plus business entrances and service areas. Every job starts with a look at the surface, because the wrong pressure can damage what it is meant to clean. We pick the method first, then we agree the price.
Two methods

Pressure washing and soft washing, and when we use each

They are not the same job. Pressure washing suits hard, durable surfaces. Soft washing is gentler and suits surfaces that high pressure could harm.

Pressure washing services

Controlled high-pressure water lifts dirt, grime, algae and stains from durable surfaces such as concrete driveways, walkways, patios, pavers and steps. We do not run the pressure at maximum by default. We match it to the surface.
Heavy staining or oil may need a pre-treatment or degreaser first.

House soft washing services

Soft washing uses low pressure with a cleaning solution suited to the surface, and gives it time to work. It is the safer choice for house siding, painted surfaces, some wood and certain fences, where high pressure can force water behind boards or strip finishes.
The result is a clean, even finish without gouging or damage.

The right pressure for the right surface

How we match the method to the surface

What we clean

Pressure washing services for driveways, patios, decks and house exteriors

Driveways

Concrete driveways collect oil drips, tire marks, algae and winter salt. We pressure wash the whole surface evenly, and pre-treat oil or heavy staining first. Oil stains may improve without fully disappearing, and we tell you what to expect.

Walkways, sidewalks and steps

Front walks, sidewalks, steps and entrances see the most foot traffic. Cleaning them removes the slippery film that builds up and brightens the first thing visitors walk on.

Patios, pavers and interlocking stone

Patios and interlock hold dirt, moss and weed growth in the joints. We clean them at a controlled pressure suited to the stone, so the surface is not eroded or the joints washed out.

Decks

Some decks can be pressure washed, depending on the material and condition. Weathered or deteriorated wood needs a gentler approach, so we assess it before we start.

House siding

We soft wash siding to remove dirt, algae and streaking without forcing water behind it. For other exterior work around the house, see window cleaning.

Fences, garage pads and masonry

Fences, garage pads and some brick and masonry can be cleaned too. Loose mortar, cracked masonry and fragile finishes are not suited to high pressure, so we check first.

A typical two-car driveway of 400 to 600 sq ft is about $180 to $320. A driveway with a walkway and front steps is about $250 to $400. The final price depends on size, condition, staining and access.

About $0.40 to $0.65 per square foot, so a 300 sq ft deck is roughly $120 to $195. Deck material and condition affect the method and the price.

A single-storey house is typically $220 to $380, and a two-storey house $300 to $550, depending on size, siding, condition and access.

Pressure washing uses higher pressure on durable surfaces such as concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure with a cleaning solution on surfaces such as siding that high pressure can damage.

High pressure can force water behind siding and damage it, so we use soft washing for house siding. Damaged or loose siding is not suited to pressure washing at all.

Usually about 1 to 3 hours, depending on the siding, condition, height and access.

Many homeowners wash the house exterior about once a year. Driveways depend on traffic, trees, staining and how clean you want them to look.

Spring through fall is the most practical season. We may postpone for freezing temperatures, severe wind or thunderstorms.

We can pre-treat oil and heavy staining, which often improves it. Oil stains may not disappear completely, and we tell you what to expect.

It can if the pressure is wrong for the surface. That is why we match the method to the material and avoid forcing water behind siding, into electrical components or into openings.

Yes. We clean entrances, walkways, exterior steps, loading and service areas, patios and building-adjacent hardscape for restaurants, offices, retail and managed buildings.

For commercial sites, we offer after-hours scheduling where practical, depending on site access.
