Remove Years of Buildup From Driveways and Siding

Residential pressure washing services for driveways, sidewalks, decks, and siding in Martinsville, Virginia.

You stop noticing how much dirt, algae, and mildew has built up on your driveway, siding, or deck until you see someone else's clean property in Martinsville and realize yours looks gray and streaked. That buildup is not just cosmetic—mold and algae hold moisture against surfaces and speed up deterioration, especially on wood decks and painted siding.

Perkins Painting and Pressure Washing Inc. uses pressure washing equipment to remove dirt, mold, algae, and grime from driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, fences, siding, and other exterior surfaces around your home in Martinsville. The crew adjusts water pressure and nozzle settings based on the material being cleaned so you get effective results without damaging wood, paint, or masonry. Pressure washing works as a standalone service to improve curb appeal and extend surface life, or as prep work before painting exterior siding and trim.

What Pressure Washing Actually Removes and Restores

The crew arrives in Martinsville with commercial pressure washers, surface cleaners for flat areas, and extension wands to reach high siding and gutters. They pre-treat areas with heavy mold or algae growth, then rinse surfaces with controlled pressure to lift dirt and organic buildup without gouging wood or stripping paint.

After pressure washing is complete, your driveway, sidewalks, and patio show their original color instead of the gray or green tint from years of buildup. Siding looks brighter and cleaner, wood decks reveal natural grain again, and fences lose the dark streaks that made them look older than they are.

Perkins Painting and Pressure Washing Inc. uses techniques that protect your surfaces while removing buildup common in the Martinsville region, where humidity and shade encourage mold and algae growth. The crew does not use excessive pressure that splinters wood or forces water under siding, and they avoid spraying near windows, vents, or electrical fixtures. This service works well as regular maintenance to prevent long-term damage or as prep before painting to ensure coatings bond properly to clean surfaces.

Typical Questions Homeowners Have About This Service

Homeowners in Martinsville often ask about safety, timing, and how pressure washing fits into other maintenance or painting projects.

Will pressure washing damage my siding or deck?
The crew adjusts water pressure and nozzle type based on the surface being cleaned. Wood decks and painted siding receive lower pressure to avoid splintering or stripping paint, while concrete driveways and sidewalks handle higher pressure without damage.
How often should I pressure wash my home?
You should pressure wash driveways, sidewalks, and siding every one to two years in Martinsville to prevent buildup from becoming permanent. Homes in shaded areas or near trees may need more frequent cleaning because mold and algae grow faster in those conditions.
What surfaces can you pressure wash?
The service covers concrete driveways and sidewalks, brick or stone patios, wood and composite decks, vinyl or fiber cement siding, fences, garage doors, and outdoor furniture. Delicate surfaces such as windows or soft wood require different cleaning methods.
Why does pressure washing matter before painting?
Paint does not adhere properly to dirty or moldy surfaces because the coating bonds to the layer of grime instead of the surface underneath. Pressure washing removes that barrier so primer and paint stick directly to clean siding or trim, which makes the finish last longer.
When is the best time to schedule pressure washing?
Spring and summer work well for residential pressure washing in Martinsville because warmer temperatures help surfaces dry quickly after cleaning. You can schedule pressure washing as a standalone service or as the first step before exterior painting begins.
