What We Clean: Pressure Washing Services in Fort Worth
Nine things we do often enough to have written a page about, plus a few more we do regularly. Standard Power Washing runs all of them from Aledo, for homes and businesses around Fort Worth. If your surface is not named here, it is still worth asking — the method matters more than the label.
Residential
- House Washing — soft wash for siding, brick, stucco and fiber cement. Low pressure and a solution that kills the growth at the root, because the green is living, not dirt.
- Roof Cleaning — algae streaking removed at low pressure. Roofs must never be pressure washed; it strips the granules and takes years off the roof.
- Driveway & Concrete Cleaning — driveways, walkways, patios and pool surrounds. A surface cleaner and heat, not a wand, which is what avoids the striped result.
- Fence & Deck Cleaning — cedar and pine pickets, boards and decking, cleaned at low pressure with a wood-safe solution because soft wood scars when the pressure is too high. Mention any staining plans, since drying time matters.
- Gutter Exterior Cleaning — the dark vertical tiger striping that runoff leaves on the face of a gutter. It is its own treatment and survives an ordinary house wash.
Commercial
- Storefront Cleaning — entryways, walkways and frontage for strip centers and multi-tenant retail. Scheduled around your trading hours.
- Restaurant Pressure Washing — patios, drive-thru lanes and the grease-loaded concrete under a kitchen exhaust. A degreaser pre-treat first, then hot water.
- Dumpster Pad Cleaning — leachate soaks into the pores of the concrete, so it needs heat and dwell time rather than rinsing. Enclosure walls and gates at the same time.
- Parking Lot Striping — restriping, ADA stalls and fire lanes. Cleaning tends to reveal how worn the markings actually were, so the two are worth quoting together.
Also regular work
These do not have their own page, but they are ordinary jobs for us and they are quoted the same way:
- Rust and irrigation staining — the orange arcs that sprinklers leave on concrete and stone. A mineral deposit, not soil, so it needs a dedicated remover.
- Graffiti removal — matched to the substrate, because what lifts paint off block will damage brick.
- Heavy equipment, fleet and shop floors — hot water and degreasers. Quoted on condition and access rather than by area.
How often should it be cleaned?
| Surface | Typical interval | What sets the schedule |
|---|---|---|
| House exterior | Every 12 to 24 months | Shaded, north-facing walls |
| Roof | Streaks usually return in 2–4 years | Shade and nearby mature trees |
| Driveways, patios, walkways | About once a year | Shade, tree cover, foot traffic |
| Restaurant exteriors | Monthly where busy; quarterly at least | Grease and gum on patios, drive-thrus |
| Storefronts | Monthly near restaurants; otherwise quarterly | Entries and concrete under awnings |
| Dumpster pads | Monthly for food service; quarterly otherwise | Odor reaching the parking lot |
Treat these as starting points. Once we have seen the property, we will suggest a frequency that fits it.
Which method for which surface?
| Surface | Method | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Siding, brick, stucco, fiber cement | Soft wash | Kills living growth at the root |
| Roofs | Soft wash only | Pressure strips shingle granules |
| Older brick, stone and mortar | Low pressure, solution, dwell time | High pressure blows out soft mortar |
| Driveways, patios, pool decks | Surface cleaner with heat | Even coverage, no wand stripes |
| Restaurant concrete, dumpster pads | Degreaser pre-treat, then hot water | Grease and leachate sit in the pores |
| Wood fences and decks | Low pressure, wood-safe solution | Cedar and pine scar under pressure |
| Gutter exteriors | Dedicated striping treatment | A house wash does not lift them |
| Rust and irrigation stains | Dedicated rust remover | Mineral deposit, not soil |
How it is quoted
Estimates are free and most go out the same day. Standard residential work does not need a site visit first — an address and a couple of photos are usually enough. Commercial work is quoted on condition, access and area, and scheduled around your hours rather than ours.
We are based in Aledo and work across Parker and west Tarrant County. See where we work for the towns with their own page.
