1. What surfaces can be safely pressure washed?
RLM washes concrete, brick, siding, storefronts, shopping centers, driveways, decks, fences, graffiti, windows, and other surfaces. We use the correct pressure and techniques to avoid surface damage.
2. Is soft washing better than traditional pressure washing?
Yes, for delicate surfaces like siding, stucco, and roofing, RLM uses soft washing, a low-pressure method that safely removes mold, mildew, and algae without harming the surface.
3. How often should I have my home pressure washed?
It’s recommended to pressure wash your home every 12–18 months to maintain curb appeal and prevent buildup of contaminants that can damage surfaces over time.
4. Do you offer commercial pressure washing services?
Yes, RLM provides commercial power washing for buildings, sidewalks, parking lots, and storefronts to help businesses look clean and professional.
5. Can pressure washing remove oil stains from concrete?
While not all oil stains are 100% removable, RLM uses industrial-grade cleaners and techniques that significantly reduce or eliminate oil and grease marks.
6. Is your cleaning process eco-friendly?
Yes, we use biodegradable cleaning solutions and follow environmentally responsible practices to protect your landscaping and surrounding areas for both residential & commercial projects.
7. Will pressure washing damage my siding or roof?
Not when done correctly. RLM uses soft washing for vinyl siding and roofs to prevent damage while achieving a thorough clean.
8. How long does a typical pressure washing job take?
Most jobs are completed within a few hours, but it depends on the size and scope of the project. We provide clear timelines during the quote process.
