Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions - Answered By Gleaming Gutters LLC

Yes, there is. Installing gutter guards or leaf guards on your drainage system will block leaves and other debris from your gutter; which will help you avoid possible buildup. Without that buildup clogging your gutters, you won't have to clean your gutters as often; which saves you both time and money.

The type of washing is going to depend on how your home is built, the materials used, and its surroundings. Softwash is a low-pressure washing method suitable for fragile materials like roof shingles; while regular pressure washing is mainly used on more durable and concrete surfaces. Typically, you'll be getting one or the other done to your home unless you're getting your entire home done top to bottom. In that case, you're going to want a soft wash for the roof, windows, and sidings and a pressure wash for your driveway, walkways, and patios. Overall, the job would need to be broken into two phases — the first phase would be pressure washing all the hard surfaces, and the second phase of soft washing for the rest of the home.
