Can you pressure wash a building facade?

In many cases, yes, depending on the material and condition of the facade. Some facades require a gentler method than standard pressure washing, which is assessed during project review.

How often should exterior surfaces be pressure washed?

It depends on exposure, material and location — some surfaces benefit from annual cleaning, others less often. This can be discussed based on your property.

No. Pressure and method are matched to the surface — concrete and masonry can generally handle more than painted wood, older siding or delicate materials. Surfaces are reviewed before any work starts.
