Pressure Washing in Caledon

Look for local Caledon companies with recent photo evidence of before/after work on your surface type, public liability insurance, and itemised quotes. Compare at least two or three quotes on the same scope. Be wary of door-knockers offering same-day deals — legitimate operators are usually booked days ahead in peak season.

Safe at high pressure: concrete, block paving, natural stone (with care), brick in good condition, metal fences and gutter exteriors. Needs low pressure or soft washing: painted surfaces, render, timber decking, vinyl or fibre-cement siding, roofs, and old or repointed brickwork. Never pressure wash: single-glazed windows at close range, electrical fittings, or asbestos-containing materials.

Light rain is usually fine — surfaces are already wet. Pros avoid freezing temperatures (ice risk on cleaned surfaces and damaged equipment) and heavy storms. In hot dry regions, local water restrictions can limit or ban high-volume outdoor cleaning during drought periods, so check the current rules before booking.

Most residential pros use your outdoor tap and, for electric machines, an outdoor socket. Petrol-powered machines only need water. Some companies carry water tanks for properties without an accessible tap — ask in advance, as tank supply can add to the price. Water usage for a typical driveway job is modest, roughly comparable to a few loads of laundry per hour of cleaning.

Roughly April to October in most provinces — pros stop when temperatures approach freezing because wet surfaces become ice hazards and equipment can freeze. That short season means spring slots book out weeks ahead; fall is often easier to schedule.

A typical single-storey house wash runs roughly $250-$500, and driveways $130-$400 depending on size and staining. Expect quotes 10-20% above US prices in dollar terms, with Toronto and Vancouver at the top of the range.
