Washing Questions, Answered
The questions we get asked most often in Sherman. If yours is not here, call (903) 228-3197.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses force and is for hard surfaces — concrete, stone, pavers. Soft washing uses low pressure plus the right cleaning solution and is for everything force would damage: siding, stucco, painted surfaces, roofs. Most properties need both, on different surfaces, in the same visit — and every quote we write maps which is which.
Can you work while my business is closed?
That is the normal way, not the exception. Storefronts, restaurants and drive-thrus get washed overnight or before open so no customer ever steps over a hose. Tell us your hours and the schedule comes back built around them.
How often should a commercial property be washed?
Sidewalks and entries at busy retail: quarterly is the standard, monthly for food-heavy frontage. Building facades: once or twice a year. Drive-thrus: quarterly at minimum — grease does not take holidays. Recurring routes price below one-off visits and remove the remembering.
Will pressure washing damage my siding or paint?
High pressure on the wrong surface absolutely will — stripped paint, forced-in water and etched stucco are the classic amateur signatures. That is exactly why buildings and houses get soft washing from us, never raw pressure. Concrete gets the force; everything delicate gets chemistry and patience.
Do you use the property's water?
Usually yes — a standard spigot is all we need, and the water cost for a typical job is a few dollars. For sites without access, the rig carries tank water; just tell us when you book so we arrive plumbed for it.
What does a house wash cost?
Most single-story homes around Sherman and Denison run $250 to $450 for a full soft wash, with driveways $120 to $250 — and packaged together they price better than separately. Two-story and larger homes quote from a quick look; there is no charge for the look.
Can you handle a whole apartment community or a portfolio of properties?
That is the work we schedule best. Communities are washed building by building with resident notices; portfolios get one contract, per-site pricing, and a route calendar. Property managers also get the before-and-after photo set for every visit, ready for the owner report.
Do you do post-construction cleanup washes for builders?
Yes — final exterior washes coordinated with the punch-list schedule: construction dust, splatter and mortar haze off buildings, flatwork and glass surrounds before handover. Builders with active pipelines in the county can put their delivery calendar on ours with one call.
