Silver Stag Exteriors provides pressure washing throughout Colorado Springs and the surrounding El Paso County area. Pressure washing causes a lot of avoidable damage because the pressure that cleans a driveway will destroy siding, shingles, and mortar. Siding and roofs need soft washing, which is low pressure plus the right cleaning solution and dwell time. Concrete and masonry can take real pressure. Matching the method to the surface is most of the job.

Why Colorado Springs homeowners call us
Soft wash on anything that can be damaged
Siding, stucco, painted surfaces, and roofs are cleaned with low pressure and appropriate solution. High pressure on siding drives water behind the panel, which is a moisture problem you will not see for a year.
Roof cleaning without shortening the roof
Black streaking on shingles is algae, and it comes off with soft washing. Pressure washing a shingle roof strips granules and takes years off it.
Landscaping protected
Plants pre-wet and rinsed, and solutions selected to be safe around landscaping. This is routine and it still gets skipped constantly.
Realistic expectations set upfront
Some staining on concrete is permanent. We will tell you what will lift and what will not before you pay, rather than after.

Pressure Washing questions from Colorado Springs homeowners
Will pressure washing damage my siding?
It can, which is exactly why siding should be soft washed rather than pressure washed. High pressure can crack vinyl, strip paint, and force water behind the siding and into the wall assembly. Low pressure with the correct solution cleans better and does not risk the wall.
What are the black streaks on my roof?
Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It is cosmetic rather than structural in the short term, and it comes off with a proper soft wash. It should never be pressure washed, since that removes the granules protecting the shingle.
How often should I wash my house?
Every one to two years for most homes. North-facing walls and shaded elevations grow organic buildup faster and may need it more often.
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
Fresh oil usually lifts well with degreaser and hot water. Old oil that has penetrated deep into the concrete often lightens substantially but does not disappear entirely. We will set that expectation before starting.
