Our Picks
Pressure Washing Order of Operations
Order matters. Roof first if needed (zinc strips beat pressure for asphalt shingle moss — never high-pressure shingles). Then exterior siding from top to bottom. Then driveway and walkways last so the runoff from siding doesn't restain the concrete.
For Fresno County concrete, we soft-wash first with sodium hypochlorite to kill any biological growth, then high-pressure rinse. This eliminates the racing-stripe look that comes from spraying high-pressure on concrete that has algae — every spray pattern leaves a permanent darker line where the algae remains untreated.
Gutter Cleaning + Inspection
Gutters in Fresno fill with pine needles (Pasadena, La Cañada), eucalyptus leaves (Westside), and palm fronds (everywhere). We clean by hand to inspect for separation, rust spots, and slope issues — pressure washing gutters from the top is what damages them. Bag the debris off-site and water-test every downspout to verify flow.
Gutter guards (LeafGuard or seamless mesh) reduce annual cleaning by 70-80% and pay back in 4-6 years vs twice-annual cleanings. We install during the same visit if you want them.
Wood Care for Fresno Decks and Fences
wells and septic are common in north Fresno County — affects plumbing scope California UV destroys unprotected wood within 18 months. Re-stain decks every 2 years, fences every 3-4 years. We use Thompson's WaterSeal Advanced (UV-resistant, single-coat) for fences, and Cabot Australian Timber Oil for decks needing premium finish.
For weathered fences that have already grayed, we sand or pressure-wash to restore the wood, then apply two coats of stain — single coat won't penetrate enough on weathered wood to actually protect it.
