Nanaimo Pressure Washing Done With Precision

Wet Island winters leave moss on your roof, a green film down your siding and algae along the middle of your driveway. We take it all off carefully, using the right pressure for each surface, and leave your place looking like it did the day you moved in.

Exterior Cleaning for Homes Across Central Vancouver Island

Nanaimo sits in one of the wettest, greenest corners of the country, and your house knows it. Between October and April the rain rarely stops long enough for anything to dry out, and by spring there is moss creeping up the north slope of the roof, black streaking across the shingles, a grey-green film on the siding and a slick strip of algae down the walkway.

None of that is neglect. It is just what happens to a building that sits under fir trees on a coastal island.

We clean it off properly. Nanaimo Pressure Washing is a small, locally owned business covering Nanaimo and the communities around it, from Cedar and Ladysmith in the south to Parksville, Qualicum Beach and Coombs in the north. Roofs, siding, gutters, driveways, patios, decks, fences, walkways, windows and oil-stained garage floors: eleven services, one phone call, one local number.

You talk to someone local, not a call centre. You get a straight conversation about what your property actually needs, from people who know what this climate does to a house. Quotes are free, and there is no pressure attached to them. More about how we work.

Why Homeowners Choose Nanaimo Pressure Washing

Locally Owned & Operated

This stretch of the Island is the whole service area, and a wet coastal winter is hard on a north-facing roof. A local business covering local communities, not a national franchise.

Local, Not a Call Centre

You get a straight conversation about your property with someone who knows the area, not a scripted intake form routed to another province.

Careful, Detail-Focused Work

We work in overlapping passes and finish the edges, corners and the bits behind the downspout that are easy to skip. Detail is the whole job.

Fast Turnaround

Small operation, short chain of command. When you call, you get an answer, and most residential work is booked and finished without a long wait.

Straightforward & Trustworthy

Clear pricing up front, honest advice about what a surface needs, and respect for the fact that we are working around your home, your plants and your family.

Free, No-Pressure Quotes

Quotes cost nothing and carry no obligation. You get a price before anything starts, so there is no invoice afterwards with a number on it you did not agree to.

Eleven Services, One Local Number

From a moss-covered roof to a stained garage floor, we handle the outside of your property. Pick the one that is bothering you most and start there.

Frequently Asked Questions

We work across the mid-Island: Nanaimo, Lantzville, Nanoose Bay, Cedar, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Ladysmith, Chemainus, Errington and Coombs, plus the smaller pockets in between. If you are close to that corridor and not sure whether you are in range, just ask.

No. Quotes are free, and you get a price before any work starts, not an invoice afterwards with surprises on it. Call 250-896-9742 or send the contact form and we will get back to you.

Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We are closed weekends, and we do not run an after-hours emergency service. Messages left outside those hours get picked up the next business day.

No, and that matters. Roofs, siding, cedar fences and older decks get a low-pressure soft wash where the cleaning solution does the work. Concrete, driveways and walkways can take real pressure, so that is where we use it.

Not usually. As long as we can reach an outdoor tap and a power outlet and get to the areas being cleaned, you are welcome to be out. We will walk you through anything we need beforehand.

Move vehicles off the driveway, bring in anything light that could get wet, close the windows on the side of the house we are cleaning, and keep pets indoors while we are on site. We handle the rest.
