Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions homeowners ask about Bird Dog Pro Wash and our exterior cleaning services.

What is the difference between power washing and soft washing?

Power washing uses higher pressure to remove tough buildup from hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean more delicate surfaces such as siding, roofs, and decks. At Bird Dog Pro Wash, we inspect each surface and choose the safest, most effective method to protect your home.

Is power washing safe for my siding and paint?

Yes—when it is done correctly. We never blast high pressure directly at your siding or trim. Instead, we typically use a soft wash process for painted and vinyl surfaces, which relies on gentle pressure and biodegradable detergents to lift dirt, algae, and mildew without damaging paint, caulking, or seals.

How often should I have my home or driveway washed?

Most homeowners schedule exterior cleaning once a year to keep algae, mildew, and dirt from building up. High-traffic or shaded areas, like driveways and north-facing sides of the home, may benefit from cleaning every 6–12 months. During your estimate, we can recommend a schedule based on your specific property and local conditions.

Will your cleaning solutions harm my plants or landscaping?

We take plant and property protection very seriously. Our technicians pre-wet surrounding vegetation, use controlled application techniques, and rinse thoroughly after treatment. Solutions are carefully mixed to be effective on organic growth while remaining safe for your home, pets, and landscape when used as directed.

Do I need to be home during the service?

You do not have to be home as long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and an outdoor water source. Many customers book while they are at work. We will text or email you before we arrive and after we finish, and you can pay securely online once the job is complete.

What should I do to prepare before Bird Dog Pro Wash arrives?

Please move vehicles away from the cleaning area, close all windows and doors, and remove delicate items from porches and patios when possible. If you have outdoor electrical outlets or fixtures that do not seal well, let us know so we can take extra precautions. We handle the rest, including taping or covering anything that needs additional protection.

Are you insured and do you guarantee your work?

Yes. Bird Dog Pro Wash is fully insured and we stand behind our work. If you notice any areas of concern after your cleaning, contact us within a reasonable time frame and we will return to address it. Our goal is a spotless property and a 5-star experience every time.

How much does power washing typically cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, the level of buildup, and the type of surface. We offer transparent, upfront estimates for house washing, driveways, patios, roofs, and more—often with bundled savings when you schedule multiple services. Request a quote and we will provide clear pricing before any work is scheduled.
