"The finished project turned out pretty well, the overall interior wall surfaces all looked good at the end and I’m not recommending against hiring Lance by any means. However, I would recommend they slow down on their prep work to really provide a high quality job. There ended up being quite a bit of paint splatter on three windows that weren’t covered. There was some paint over run on light fixtures that weren’t covered. We had to ask them to remove light plate covers before painting. They did not sand down any door jams and there were bits of wood sticking up at the end and small divets in those areas. So, again I would say it’s fine to use this company just keep a close eye on the prep work as they go, the large area finished walls all looked though so I don’t mean this to be a negative review at all, just an honest take on the overall quality."

"Very easy to work with. I'd used them before but this time I got estimates from other contractors and was amazed how much more reasonable Cal Preserving was. The difference may be that the others pointed to additional steps that could be taken. Did Cal Preserving "miss" these things or recognize they weren't necessary--I'm inclined to believe the latter."

FAQs for powerwashing projects in Aptos, CA

Different fence materials require specific pressure levels for safe, effective cleaning. Softwood fences need gentle treatment at 500 PSI maximum, while more durable materials like vinyl and steel can withstand up to 2,000 PSI. Wrought iron fences tolerate the highest pressure at approximately 2,300 PSI. Always begin with the lowest effective setting and maintain appropriate distance from the surface to prevent damage, gradually adjusting as needed based on cleaning results and material response.

The primary distinction between pressure washing and power washing lies in water temperature. Standard pressure washing equipment uses ambient temperature water, while power washing incorporates heated water for enhanced cleaning capability. The heat component makes power washing particularly effective for stubborn stains and organic growth, but it costs more than conventional pressure washing. For routine fence maintenance, standard pressure washing provides sufficient cleaning power without the additional expense.

The decision between professional service and DIY fence cleaning depends on several factors, including equipment access, technical knowledge, and fence characteristics. Equipment rental costs between $40 and $90 daily, making DIY viable for smaller projects. However, professionals bring expertise in appropriate pressure settings, efficient techniques, and proper cleaning solutions. For delicate materials like softwood or ornate fence designs, professional service significantly reduces the risk of damage while ensuring thorough cleaning results.

The duration of a fence pressure washing project varies based on multiple factors, including fence size, material, condition, and accessibility. A standard residential fence cleaning requires several hours to complete, with preparation, cleaning, and cleanup all factored into the timeline. Heavily soiled surfaces, intricate designs, or limited access points may extend the project duration. When planning your schedule, allow sufficient time for the fence to dry completely before applying any treatments or sealants.
