Pressure Washing in Chapel Hill, NC
Licensed and insured, about 40 minutes from our base, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
Chapel Hill has the most interesting mid century stock in the Triangle. Coker Hills and the neighborhoods around campus are full of 1950s to 1970s houses with flat roof sections, exposed beams and original single pane glass, and homeowners here usually want to keep that language rather than erase it.
That is the ground every pressure washing project in Chapel Hill starts from. Soft washing for siding and roofs, controlled pressure for concrete and pavers, so the green film comes off and the surface underneath does not.
What the price covers
- Plant and landscape protection. Beds and shrubs near the work area get wet down and covered where needed, and we choose cleaning solutions that will not scorch grass or damage what is planted along the foundation.
- Soft washing for siding and roofs. Low pressure application of a cleaning solution that breaks down algae, mildew and moss at the surface, followed by a gentle rinse rather than a direct blast.
- Surface cleaning for concrete and pavers. A rotating surface cleaner attachment covers driveways, patios and walkways in even passes, which is what removes the striping left behind by a hand held wand.
Pressure Washing in Chapel Hill, in practice
On a concrete driveway in Chapel Hill, the tool matters as much as the pressure setting. A wand held by hand leaves overlapping stripes because no one can maintain a perfectly even pass by eye, and those stripes stay visible once the concrete dries. A rotating surface cleaner covers the slab in even rings and removes that pattern entirely. Around the edges of the driveway, beds and foundation plantings common in Orange County yards get a pre soak with clean water and, where the plan calls for it, a physical cover, since cleaning solution left sitting on leaves can scorch them. Wash water gets directed away from storm drains and planting beds wherever the grading allows it, rather than left to run wherever gravity takes it.
Shaded lots are common across Chapel Hill, and shade is exactly where the green film shows up first. Algae and mold need moisture and low light to spread, so a north facing roof slope or a driveway shaded by mature oaks in Orange County will grow a visible bloom well before a sun exposed surface does. The fix is not more pressure. A soft wash application, low pressure combined with a cleaning solution that kills the organism rather than just knocking it loose, gets into the surface of the growth so it does not return within a matter of weeks. Blasting the same spot with a pressure washer wand only strips the visible layer and leaves the roots behind in the pores of the material.

Everything we do in Chapel Hill
How a Chapel Hill project runs
Four stages, each finished before the next begins. Typical duration is half a day to 2 days.
Walk the property
We identify every surface, note what is painted, what is bare wood, what is vinyl and what is masonry, and flag anything already damaged so it does not get blamed on the wash.
Protect what should not get wet
Outdoor outlets get covered, windows and door seals get checked, and plants near the foundation get a pre soak so cleaning chemical does not sit on the leaves.
Wash by surface, not by default
Siding and roofing get soft washed at low pressure with a cleaning solution. Concrete, pavers and sealed brick get the surface cleaner or wand at a pressure matched to that material.
Rinse and inspect
A clean water rinse removes the cleaning solution and loosened residue, then we walk the job with you to confirm every surface came out even, not just the parts easiest to reach.
Questions from Chapel Hill homeowners
Do you soft wash or pressure wash homes in Chapel Hill?
Both, depending on the surface. Siding and roofs in Chapel Hill get a soft wash at low pressure with a cleaning solution. Driveways, walkways and most concrete get a surface cleaner at higher pressure, since concrete can take it and siding cannot.
When is the best time to schedule pressure washing in Chapel Hill?
Late spring, once pollen season has passed, is the busiest and most requested window in Chapel Hill. Shaded yards in Orange County with heavy algae growth often benefit from a second wash in early fall as well.
Will you protect my landscaping during a wash in Chapel Hill?
Yes. Beds and shrubs near the work area get a pre soak and covered where needed, and we choose cleaning solutions and rinse practices that keep runoff away from planting beds and storm drains around your Chapel Hill property.
Will pressure washing damage my siding?
Not the way we do it. Vinyl siding gets soft washed at low pressure with a cleaning solution rather than blasted, which is what prevents water from being forced behind the panels or the material cracking outright.
