The right pressure for every surface.

Iowa weather is hard on exteriors. Humid summers grow mold and algae, and long winters leave grime, salt, and moss behind, especially on shaded, north-facing walls, decks, and concrete. A good wash strips all of it and instantly lifts your curb appeal.

The trick is matching the method to the material. We use higher-pressure power washing for tough surfaces like concrete and gentle, low-pressure soft washing for siding, brick, and delicate surfaces, so everything gets clean and nothing gets damaged.

  • Kills mold & algaeNot just rinsed, actually cleaned off the surface.
  • Protects your surfacesSoft washing where high pressure would do harm.
  • Instant curb appealThe fastest, cheapest way to refresh a tired exterior.
  • Preps for paint or stainA clean surface is where every good finish starts.

Something we didn't cover? Reach out and we'll answer it straight.

How much does power washing cost in Iowa?

Concrete surfaces run $0.40 per square foot, and decks, fences, and delicate surfaces run $0.65 per square foot. House soft washing is $350 for one-story and $450 for two-story. A $225 minimum applies, and heavy buildup or specialty stains may add to that. You always get a full quote first.

What's the difference between power washing and soft washing?

Power washing uses high pressure for tough surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution for siding, brick, and delicate surfaces, so they come clean without any damage. We use the right method for each surface.

What surfaces do you clean?

Driveways, sidewalks, patios, concrete, decks, fences, brick, and full house soft washing. We also handle specialty stain and graffiti removal as a custom-quoted job.

Do I need to provide water?

Yes, water must be available on-site. We bring the equipment and simply tap into your outdoor spigot.

Can you remove oil, rust, or graffiti?

Often, yes. Those are specialty stains, so we look at the surface first and give you a custom quote rather than a flat rate.
