Pressure washing in Columbus

Measurable rain or snow falls on about 141 days in a normal year at the Columbus airport, adding up to roughly 41.6 inches. Spring alone accounts for about 40 of those wet days, across March, April and May. A house wash needs a dry stretch behind it, so pick your day by the forecast, not the calendar.

If your house is brick and sits in German Village, read the city's historic Staff Approval List before the wash. It's linked from the German Village Commission's page, and it draws a line on paint, which matters once the dirt is off. Masonry that was never painted isn't to be painted. Brick that has carried paint for a long time is left as it is, or painted to match the brick's original color as closely as possible.

Staying inside those lines keeps the paperwork simple. You still file an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, but staff can generally approve work that fits the list and the guidelines, with no hearing.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on the surface and how dirty it is, but a pro who sees the whole property will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is pressure washing priced?
Mostly by the square footage and the surface — a concrete driveway is cheaper per foot than siding or a wood deck, which need a gentler soft-wash. Heavy algae, mildew, or oil stains add to it because they take detergent and a second pass.
Will pressure washing damage my siding or deck?
It can if it’s done at full pressure on the wrong surface — that’s why good pros soft-wash siding and wood. Our ballpark factors in the gentler method for delicate surfaces.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot showing the full surface you want cleaned — the whole driveway or the side of the house — gives the best read on the size and how dirty it is.
