Professional Power Washing Business
Power washing, aka pressure washing, how it works precisely, why I need it, how to find professional power washing in Chicago, and why I should hire a power washing company at all? We hear these, and many similar questions asked every day. So let's clear the air and get right into answering some of the most common questions about power washing services.
Power washing is a process of cleaning an exterior surface using a highly pressurized water stream. Detergents sometimes added to the water or applied to the surface before power washing to loosen up or dissolve stubborn stains and soils.
As the name implies, power or pressure washing is a process that uses pressure(power) and detergents(chemicals) to clean. If done by an untrained individual, it can damage your property, hurt vegetation, or void your home's warranties. That is why it is crucial to find a professional power washing business.
Now the question is how to locate a reputable power washing service company you can trust. Well, if you are reading this, it means you already found one. Property Refresh is a power washing company with extensive expertise and knowledge about power washing and safe detergent use. We guarantee you'll be satisfied with the results and glad you called your local power washing experts.

More ReviewsPower Washing - Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my house power washed?
For most homes in the Chicagoland area, we recommend professional power washing at least once a year — ideally in spring or early summer. Homes surrounded by trees or in shaded areas may accumulate mildew and algae faster, so bi-annual cleaning may be necessary. Regular power washing prevents long-term damage to vinyl siding, brick, and stucco, and keeps your home's curb appeal at its best. If you're also noticing debris buildup around your roofline, consider pairing power washing with our gutter cleaning service for a complete exterior refresh.
Will power washing damage my siding or paint?
Not when it's done by trained professionals. At Property Refresh, our technicians adjust water pressure and nozzle settings based on the surface material — whether it's delicate painted wood, vinyl siding, brick, or concrete. We also use soft-wash techniques with eco-friendly detergents where high pressure isn't appropriate. DIY power washing with rental equipment is where most damage occurs, which is why hiring an experienced power washing company is the safest choice for protecting your investment.
What's the difference between power washing and pressure washing?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but technically power washing uses heated water while pressure washing uses unheated water at high pressure. Both methods are highly effective for removing dirt, grime, mold, and mildew from exterior surfaces. At Property Refresh, we select the best method based on the job — heated water is especially effective for grease stains on driveways and patios, while standard pressure washing works perfectly for house cleaning tasks like siding and decks. Either way, our team delivers spotless results.
Can you power wash my driveway and patio?
Absolutely! Driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches, and decks are some of the most popular surfaces we clean. Over time, these horizontal surfaces collect dirt, oil stains, algae, and weather damage that regular hosing can't remove. Our professional power washing restores concrete, pavers, bluestone, and composite decking to a like-new appearance. We also power wash outdoor furniture and playsets. Check our pricing table above for deck and patio rates, or contact us for a free estimate on your specific project.
Do you offer power washing as part of a bundle with other services?
Yes! Many of our Chicago-area customers combine power washing with window washing and gutter cleaning for a complete exterior makeover — and bundling services often saves you money. Whether you're prepping your home for sale, hosting an event, or just want it looking its best for the season, we can customize a package that fits your needs and budget.
