Your driveway should be pressure washed at least once a year. For example, in areas like the Pacific Northwest that are subject to lots of rain and surrounded by many trees and plants, the need to pressure wash your driveway is increased as compared to other areas.

 

When is the best time to get my gutters cleaned?

Most professionals agree that spring and fall are the best times to clean your gutters. But most important is to clean your gutter before the heavy rains begin to clear out your gutter system of any debris that has accumulated to ensure they are in good working order as intended.

 

Can pressure washing be done in the rain?

It’s a really good time to pressure wash on days that are overcast and raining lightly. When it’s too hot and sunny, the heat can cause everything to dry quickly; but on overcast or rainy days, detergents and cleaning solutions have more time to do their job as they will not dry out as quickly.
