Pressure washing in Lansing

Around Lansing, power washing has a brochure of its own. The Greater Lansing Regional Committee for Stormwater Management, whose 17 members include the City of Lansing, East Lansing, Meridian Township and Michigan State University, pairs it with car washing. It names your deck, your driveway and your siding.

The brochure lists what the runoff carries and why it matters. Phosphates in soap can feed too much algae and lower the oxygen in the water. Soap surfactants damage fish gills and kill their eggs. Heavy metals affect how water life grows and reproduces, and oil can keep oxygen from reaching plants and animals.

For power washing, the committee's tip is to try plain water first. You may find you don't need a cleaner. If you do, the committee says to skip engine cleaners and degreasers. It also asks that soapy water from a power wash not flow down a storm drain.

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.
