Residential pressure washing

A safer clean for your home.

The right method

Very little pressure is often the point.

High pressure in inexperienced hands can strip paint, damage shingles, mark siding, and force water where it does not belong. High volumes of water can also cause significant damage when directed into areas that are not designed to handle it. A professional house wash starts by assessing the material and choosing the appropriate pressure and cleaning solution.

Bare Bones uses the proper cleaning solutions, along with soft washing where appropriate, to clean your home’s exterior while treating each surface with care.

Why experience matters

Vinyl siding
Trim and fascia
Soffits
Exterior walls
Walkways
Patios and hardscape
Windows and screens
And more

Your plants matter, too.

Cleaning the house should not come at the expense of the garden. Before work begins, Peter thoroughly rinses nearby plants, shrubs, grass, and garden beds. He carefully manages cleaning solutions throughout the job and gives surrounding greenery another generous rinse when the work is complete.

He also plans where hoses will travel and moves them carefully, rather than dragging them across delicate plants or garden beds. Peter understands how much time and care landscaping can represent—his wife has a garden she loves and works very hard on—so he treats your plants with the same attention and respect he would expect at home.

That care goes beyond plants. Garden statues, solar lights, planters, ornaments, and other items around the landscape are carefully moved, protected, or worked around as needed.

The details matter

Thoughtful extras, noticed along the way.

Peter notices the small details around a property. When the opportunity is there, he may take care of an overlooked feature—like a garden bench, decorative stonework, or an entrance pillar—as a small gesture of appreciation. It is part of the Bare Bones mindset: respect the property, pay attention, and leave the space better than he found it.
