Calgary Pressure Washing — Winter Grime, Gone
After six months under Calgary snow, your concrete looks like it aged ten years. Driveway oil stains darken, de-icer salt leaves crusty haze on the walkways, algae and mildew bloom in the shady spots along the house, and bird droppings set into the siding like cement. Every spring, Calgary homeowners look out at their property and think the same thing: where do I even start?
Start with a pressure wash. We’ve been blasting Calgary grime off concrete, siding, decks, and fences for 6 years, and we do it the right way — the right pressure for the right material, every time.
What We Pressure Wash
- Driveways & walkways — oil stains, de-icer residue, black spotting, algae
- Patios & decks — with pressure tuned low enough to not damage wood fibers
- Fences — restore that sun-bleached cedar look to its original grain
- Siding & stucco — soft-wash technique that cleans without forcing water behind siding
- Garage floors — break down years of winter salt and oil buildup
- Commercial storefronts, parking lots, strata walkways — we run the right equipment for large-scale jobs
Calgary-Specific Grime We See All the Time
- De-icer staining — white crusty calcium/magnesium chloride residue. Needs a specific alkaline cleaner, not just pressure.
- Mildew stripes under soffits where winter humidity accumulates
- Black algae on north-facing concrete and stone that never gets direct sun
- Chinook grime — salt + dust + moisture cycles create a unique crud our climate specializes in
- Soot staining from nearby fireplaces and outdoor fire pits
The Right Pressure for Every Material
Too much pressure etches concrete, strips paint, damages mortar, and splinters wood. We use variable-pressure, hot-water commercial rigs and match the tip, pressure, and detergent to each surface:
- Concrete & pavers — high pressure, surface cleaner attachment for even results
- Wood decks & fences — lower pressure, wider fan, wood-safe cleaner
- Vinyl siding & stucco — soft-wash technique with cleaning solution and gentle rinse
- Brick — careful pressure + masonry-safe detergent to avoid mortar damage
Why Our Pressure Washing Stands Out
- Hot water pressure washing — dramatically better for oil, grease, and de-icer stains than cold water
- Eco-conscious detergents — we protect your lawn, plants, and pets
- Surface cleaners for large flat areas — much more even than wand work (no “stripe marks”)
- 6 years of Calgary-specific experience — we know what our climate throws at your property
- Fully insured — including incidental property coverage
When to Book
Spring is the heaviest pressure washing season in Calgary — everyone wants the winter crud gone. Early fall is the second-best window, ideal for prepping surfaces before the next freeze. Book early; our spring schedule fills up by late March.
