Pressure Washing: Your Questions, Answered

What Type of Service Do You Need?

10 Years Of Cleaning Excellence

In the last several years there has been a lot of new terms in our industry. You hear about Pressure Washing, House Soft Washing, Roof Soft Washing, Surface Cleaning and Hot Water Pressure Washing just to name a few.People also use the terms power washing and pressure washing which are both the same thing.

To decide on which service is needed it typically just comes down to what surface you are trying to clean. Hopefully this page will help clear up any confusion and give you the knowledge you need to schedule the proper service for your project.

House Soft Washing

House Soft washing is still performed with a pressure washer, we just make a few changes to get the pressure down into the range we need. Instead of using high pressure tips we use tips with a large orifice so that the pressure is lowered but the volume of water is at the max.

Our large commercial pressure washers are capable of spraying 10 gallons of water per minute. This large volume of water is how we are able to rinse all the dirt and debris off of your house so efficiently and without damage.

House Soft Washing starts with a detergent which applied at around 300 PSI. The water coming out of our spray guns is at such a low pressure you can even rinse your hands off with the stream without hurting yourself. So obviously it is not enough pressure to damage your home. You never want to have high pressure used on your home. High pressure can damage your home and windows, removing paint and blowing out window seals. House soft washing is the new industry standard.

Concrete & Driveway Cleaning

We have talked about the house and the roof. Now lets go over the last type of pressure washing we provide. Concrete and hardscape pressure washing covers a lot. Pool decks, driveways, patios, drive throughs, sidewalks and parking lot cleaning all fall under this category. Where a low pressure soft wash is used on siding and roofing, high pressure is used to clean these hard surfaces.

We use a walk behind surface cleaner which is powered by our commercial pressure washers to evenly clean concrete and other hard surfaces. A surface cleaner allows us clean at a safe distance from the surface at the exact pressure needed. For really dirty concrete like drive throughs and gas stations we go even further by using our hot water pressure washers to cut through grease, oil and road grime.

Pressure-washing of home was good & met our expectations. The cleaning of our windows was disappointing. Window frames paint was chipped on numerous windows. It looks like some chemical was used, Sunco says no chemicals, just water pressure. Wish we had known beforehand.

Joe contacted me less than 15 minutes after my initial call to the main office and let me know that he would arrive in about 15 minutes to look at the job. He explained how the cleaning would be done and what to expect. He set up an appointment for three days later. Austin and Gavin arrived on time and got right to work. About one hour later the job was done and now the house looks as good as new. Would definitely recommend and will use Sunco in the future. GOOD JOB!!

Andrea Ridenour

15:45 05 Jul 24

Great experience, highly recommend. Started with Joe the sales rep did a walk through and explained how they would perform the work I wanted done. I had the whole house soft wash, driveway cleaning, inside outside window cleaning, back porch screened in lanai and finally pavers around my pool power washed and refilled with sand and two coats of sealers. William and Spencer did the pavers and did a very thorough job covering all pavers especially those in tough areas. They did a great job. There were three more workers that I did not get the names of but they also helped on the pavers and did the windows too. They were all professional, courteous and very friendly. I attached a few pictures, I wish I had more as these don’t really show the great job they did. Again, highly recommend them for any of those jobs. A great team of professionals and the price was very fair also.

14:23 03 Jul 24

I have used Sunco Exterior Solutions for several years now, always getting good service. They literally use a scrubbing machine to clean the rock/cement driveway, something I've not discovered at other companies. My windows sparkle, and no paint was removed from the exterior of my wood home from the soft wash.

Patricia Fievet

20:31 01 Jul 24

Mike and his team came out to perform a wash of the full house and patio. They were on time and very attentive to the areas I asked for them to focus on. They worked quickly and thoroughly. They were so friendly and respectful and I will definitely book them for my next cleaning.

Sunco just completed a job at my home in Hampton Hall, Bluffton. The 2 gentlemen were very polite and thorough. They cleaned, filled in and sealed the stones on my patio. They also cleaned all of my windows and glass doors inside and out (2 stories). They handled my furniture and plants etc with care. I highly recommend them. The job was much larger than these photos show and I'm not a very good photographer.

Have utilized the services of Sunoco PowerWash for 2years. Been extremely pleased with their work. In addition to PowerWash the home, they scrub/clean the gutters (no more dark streaks). PowerWash the concrete driveway, clean windows in and out and PowerWash the screened porch. When they are done the home looks brand new. There are many PowerWash companies. Sunoco is the best.

My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Sunco. We just moved into our home with a need of a complete top to bottom power wash. Sunco arrived early (when does that ever happen) and by the time they were finished our roof, driveway, pool deck and outside windows were the cleanest they have been in years. We look forward to using Sunco each and every spring to maintain our beautiful home.

Sunco did an outstanding job on our house! From the roof wash (which made our roof look so much better) and the whole house wash and driveway and patio to the windows...the team of William and Spencer worked very hard on our house. We had some bad weather just after our service and Brian Sauls from Sunco had the team come back a few days after service to touch up some windows. First class service and follow up!

Soft wash

The Safest & Best Way to Clean

If your roof is starting to show dark black vertical streaks and darkening overall then a roof soft wash is the service you are looking for. This discoloration is caused by a type of bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma. Its ideal environment is the warm, humid climate that Hilton Head and Bluffton provides, so it’s a common issue on roofing.

Here’s the issue: Gloeocapsa Magma isn’t just ugly. It actually feeds on the limestone in your shingles. This means that you’re losing out on curb appeal, roofing longevity, and even energy efficiency.

The good news is that Sunco can take that dirty, ugly roof and turn back the clock making it look new again. A roof soft wash is the only safe and effective way to remove the staining without damaging the shingles. Never let a pressure washer be used on your roof! Roof soft washing is different because you have to have a dedicated low pressure pump to apply your solution. The specifications for roof washing are set out by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. Who better to tell you how to wash a shingle than the people who actually make them? Following ARMA’s guidelines for effective roof washing require a low pressure detergent application. This leaves the shingles looking as good as the day they were put on and also helps to preserve the integrity of the roof by eliminating the algae feeding on it which can cause granule loss.
