Pressure washing FAQ in Franklin County
Power Washing FAQ — Franklin County
Real answers to the most common questions homeowners and businesses in Franklin County ask about pressure washing, soft washing, roof cleaning, and concrete cleaning.
Pressure washing uses high water pressure, which is great for concrete, brick, and other hard surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure with cleaning solutions that kill algae, mildew, and mold on more delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, painted wood, and asphalt shingle roofs. At Paul's Power Wash, we match the method to the surface so your Franklin County home looks great without damage.
Pricing in Franklin County depends on the size of your home, the surface, and the level of cleaning needed. A typical single-story house wash usually runs a few hundred dollars; full house plus driveway and roof packages cost more.

Yes — when it's done correctly. High pressure should never be used on asphalt shingle roofs or most siding. We use a low-pressure soft-wash treatment that kills the black streaks (gloeocapsa magma) and algae causing the staining without lifting shingles or stripping paint.
Most homes in Franklin County benefit from a soft-wash house cleaning every 1–2 years. Homes under tree cover, near water, or on the north side of a hill can need it more often as algae and mildew grow faster in shaded, damp conditions.

Spring through fall is ideal in Ohio — generally late March through November — when temperatures are above freezing. We book up fast in the spring, so if you want your Franklin County home washed for an event, schedule early.
