1. How much does driveway pressure washing cost?

2. Is pressure washing safe for my home?
Yes — when done professionally.
At Pole Initiative, we use the correct pressure settings and soft washing techniques to safely clean:
• Concrete
• Brick
• Vinyl siding
• Stucco
• Wood decks
• Roof shingles
Improper pressure washing can cause damage, which is why hiring a trained professional matters.
3. What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method used for homes, siding, and roofs. Instead of relying on high pressure, we use professional cleaning solutions to safely remove:
• Mold
• Mildew
• Algae
• Dirt buildup
This method protects your home while delivering long-lasting results.
4. How often should I have my driveway cleaned?
Most homeowners in Georgia should schedule driveway cleaning once per year due to humidity and mold growth.
Homes in heavily shaded areas may require cleaning every 6–12 months.
Regular cleaning prevents:
✔ Slippery surfaces
✔ Permanent staining
✔ Surface deterioration
5. Do I need to be home during the service?
Not necessarily.
As long as we have access to the cleaning area and a working water source, you do not need to be present. Many clients schedule service while they are at work.
