I.OVERVIEW
Right pressure. Right chemistry. No surface damage.
Pressure washing done wrong damages stucco, etches concrete, blows out mortar joints, and drives water into walls. Paragon uses commercial-grade hot-water and soft-wash equipment with the right surface cleaners and biodegradable detergents — we match the pressure and method to the surface. The result is a deeper clean than a rental wand can deliver, without the collateral damage.
II.WHY IT MATTERS
Pressure vs Soft-Wash vs Surface Cleaner
Soft-Wash for Delicate Surfaces
Stucco, painted siding, roof tiles, and old wood need a soft-wash approach: low pressure (under 500 PSI) plus a biodegradable cleaning agent that does the work chemically. High pressure on stucco blows out the color coat and forces water behind the lath. We default to soft-wash on every painted or porous surface.
Surface Cleaner for Flatwork
Concrete driveways, paver patios, and pool decks clean fastest and most evenly with a rotary surface cleaner — a flat enclosed disc that delivers consistent pressure across the surface. Wand-only cleaning leaves stripe patterns and takes 3x longer. We use a 20-inch surface cleaner on every flatwork job.
Hot Water for Oil and Grease
Cold water moves dirt; hot water dissolves oil. For driveways with vehicle drips, restaurant grease pads, or BBQ-area stains, hot-water pressure (180–200°F) with a degreaser pre-treatment gets results that cold-water rentals never will.
III.PROCESS
Our Pressure Washing Process
01Site walk-through — we identify surfaces, note damage to avoid (loose mortar, painted areas, windows), and confirm scope.
02Surface protection — windows, electrical fixtures, and landscaping are protected before any water hits the structure.
03Pre-treatment with appropriate detergent — biodegradable cleaning agents matched to the surface type.
04Cleaning pass — soft-wash for delicate surfaces, surface cleaner for flatwork, targeted wand work for stains and corners.
05Rinse and final pass — full rinse from top down, with attention to any remaining staining.
06Walkthrough — you inspect the work before we leave.

V.FAQ
Pressure Washing — Frequently Asked Questions
Will pressure washing damage my stucco or paint?
It can — and frequently does — when high pressure is used on the wrong surface. We soft-wash all stucco and painted surfaces under 500 PSI with biodegradable cleaning agents. The chemistry does the work; the water just rinses. Done correctly, soft-wash cleans deeper than high-pressure and leaves the substrate undamaged.
How often should I pressure-wash my driveway?
Most South Bay driveways benefit from a professional cleaning every 12–24 months. Properties under heavy tree canopy or near the beach (where salt residue and algae build up faster) often run on a 12-month cycle. After cleaning, sealing concrete or pavers extends the time between cleanings.
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
Most oil stains, yes. We pre-treat with a degreaser, dwell, and then pressure-wash with hot water. Stains that have been sitting for years and soaked deep into the concrete may not come out 100% — a final treatment with a poultice or a stain-blocking sealer evens the surface.
Do I need to be home for the work?
No. We need access to an outdoor water spigot and the area to be cleaned. Most projects complete in a single day — we send before/after photos and an invoice on completion.
VI.THE PARAGON DIFFERENCE
The Work
Driveway, patio, stucco, deck, and roof pressure washing — high-pressure and soft-wash methods.
The Paragon Difference
We match the pressure and chemistry to the surface — most pressure-washing services blast everything at 4,000 PSI and damage stucco, mortar joints, and wood.
