Pressure Washing FAQ: Your Questions Answered for the Fraser Valley

Pressure washing uses high PSI to blast away grime from hard, durable surfaces like concrete driveways, patios, and walkways. Soft washing uses a much lower PSI combined with cleaning solutions to safely treat delicate surfaces such as roofs, vinyl siding, stucco, and building exteriors. The key distinction is surface compatibility: high PSI on a roof or siding can cause real damage, while low-PSI soft washing cleans those surfaces thoroughly without the risk. At LTE Power Washing, the method used is always matched to the surface being cleaned.

Yes. Soft washing is specifically designed for surfaces that cannot handle the force of a standard pressure washer. Because it relies on low PSI rather than mechanical force, it removes moss, algae, and grime without lifting shingles, cracking siding, or forcing water behind cladding. LTE Power Washing uses soft washing as its primary method for all residential roofing, vinyl siding, stucco, and delicate building exteriors. The owner has a background in professional roofing, which means the structural considerations of each surface are understood before any cleaning begins.

For hard, high-durability surfaces like concrete driveways, patios, and walkways, high-PSI pressure washing is the most effective approach. The pressurized water stream cuts through built-up dirt, oil stains, mildew, and organic growth that has bonded to the surface over time. In the Fraser Valley, where heavy rainfall creates ideal conditions for moss and algae growth, regular pressure washing helps prevent surface degradation and keeps outdoor areas safe and presentable. The result is a noticeably cleaner surface without the use of abrasive tools.

LTE Power Washing works within a rate structure that starts at a minimum of $250 per job, with larger or more complex projects reaching up to $4,000 depending on scope. The minimum reflects the cost of operating professional-grade equipment and maintaining full liability coverage on every job, regardless of size. Pricing varies based on the surface type, area size, and service required. For an accurate figure, a custom estimate based on your specific property is the best way to get a clear number.

Yes. LTE Power Washing works with business owners on a recurring basis for exterior maintenance needs, including regular window cleaning and exterior washing for storefronts and commercial properties. Recurring maintenance is especially relevant for food-service businesses and retail locations where a clean exterior directly affects customer impressions. If your business requires scheduled upkeep on a monthly or regular basis, that kind of arrangement is something LTE Power Washing can accommodate.
