Pressure Washing in Colorado Springs
Sometimes your home’s exterior doesn’t need a fresh coat of paint. It just needs a good cleaning. Colorado Springs properties accumulate pollen, dirt, dust, mildew, and other buildup over time, and that layer of grime can make even a well-maintained home look dull and neglected. A professional pressure washing from Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors can bring your home’s exterior back to life quickly and affordably, without a single drop of paint.
As a locally owned and operated company serving Colorado Springs and the surrounding Front Range communities for over 40 years, our pressure washing team uses top of the line equipment and proven techniques to deliver a thorough, safe clean that enhances your home’s curb appeal and protects your investment.
Why Professional Pressure Washing Matters
Renting a pressure washer and tackling the job yourself might seem like a straightforward weekend project, but it comes with real risks. Power washers live up to their name. The high-pressure stream of water they produce is powerful enough to strip paint, damage wood fibers, force water behind siding, and cause surface damage that ends up costing far more to fix than a professional cleaning would have cost in the first place.
Our experienced team knows exactly how to adjust pressure settings, choose the right cleaning solutions, and work efficiently around the specific surfaces and materials on your home. The result is a thorough, even clean that removes buildup without damaging the surfaces underneath. That’s a level of precision that’s very difficult to achieve with a rental machine and no experience.
What We Clean
Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors provides pressure washing services for a wide range of exterior surfaces on Colorado Springs residential and commercial properties, including:
- Home exteriors including siding, stucco, and painted surfaces
- Decks and wood surfaces
- Driveways and concrete flatwork
- Fences
- Patios and outdoor living areas
- Gutters and eaves
- Commercial building exteriors
Our Pressure Washing Solutions
Not every cleaning job requires the same approach, which is why we offer both water-only and detergent-based pressure washing solutions depending on the type and severity of the buildup on your surfaces.
Water-Only Pressure Washing
For general dirt, dust, pollen, and light surface buildup, a water-only pressure wash is often all that’s needed to restore your home’s exterior to a clean, fresh appearance. This is our most common approach for routine exterior cleanings and deck washing, and it’s gentle enough to use safely on painted and stained surfaces when applied correctly.
Detergent Pressure Washing
For heavier staining including smoke damage, carbon deposits, heavy mildew, and other stubborn buildup that water alone won’t tackle, our detergent solutions break down the staining at the surface level for a deeper, more thorough clean. Our team selects the appropriate cleaning solutions based on the specific surfaces being cleaned and the type of staining being addressed to ensure effective results without damaging your exterior finishes.
The Benefits of Regular Pressure Washing
Beyond the immediate improvement in curb appeal, regular pressure washing delivers some important long-term benefits for your Colorado Springs property:
Extends the Life of Your Paint and Stain
Dirt, mildew, pollen, and other organic buildup on your home’s exterior don’t just look bad. They actively work against the adhesion of paint and stain over time. A freshly pressure washed surface provides a clean, solid foundation that allows paint and stain to bond properly, which directly extends the life of your exterior finish. If you’re planning an exterior repaint or deck staining project, a thorough pressure wash beforehand is an important first step. Check out our exterior painting services to learn more about how we prepare surfaces for the best possible paint application.
Protects Your Home’s Surfaces
Mildew and organic buildup left on wood surfaces can accelerate deterioration over time. Regular cleaning removes these substances before they have a chance to work their way into the wood and cause damage that goes beyond the surface. For decks and fences in particular, where moisture and organic material tend to accumulate, regular pressure washing is one of the most cost-effective maintenance steps you can take.
Improves Curb Appeal
A clean home exterior simply looks better. Whether you’re preparing your home for sale, getting ready for a neighborhood event, or just want to enjoy coming home to a property that looks well-maintained, a professional pressure wash can make a dramatic difference in a short amount of time and at a fraction of the cost of a full repaint.
Prepares Surfaces for Other Projects
Pressure washing is an important preparatory step before many exterior improvement projects including painting, staining, deck maintenance, and fence treatment. Our team frequently incorporates pressure washing as the first step in larger exterior projects to ensure every surface is properly prepared before work begins.
Pressure Washing for Colorado Springs Decks
Colorado Springs decks take a real beating from the elements. Between the UV exposure, heavy snow loads, spring moisture, and summer heat, wood decks can accumulate significant buildup of dirt, mildew, and weathered wood fibers that dull the surface and make the deck look older than it is. A professional deck pressure washing removes that buildup and can dramatically improve the appearance of your deck before staining or sealing.
If your deck needs more than just a cleaning, our contracting team also handles deck repairs, maintenance, and staining to keep your outdoor living space looking and performing its best year after year.
Pressure Washing for Commercial Properties
A clean exterior matters just as much for commercial properties as it does for residential ones. Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors provides pressure washing services for commercial building exteriors, parking areas, entryways, and other surfaces throughout Colorado Springs. A freshly cleaned commercial exterior makes a strong first impression on customers and clients and reflects well on your business. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption to your operations.

Most Colorado Springs homeowners benefit from having their home's exterior pressure washed once a year, typically in the spring after pollen season or in the fall before winter sets in. Homes with significant tree coverage, north-facing surfaces that stay damp longer, or properties near unpaved roads may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Decks and fences generally benefit from annual washing as well to prevent mildew and buildup from taking hold.
Yes, when done correctly by an experienced professional. The key is using the right pressure settings and techniques for the specific surface being cleaned. Our team knows exactly how to adjust the equipment and approach to deliver a thorough clean without stripping paint or damaging wood fibers. DIY pressure washing with rental equipment is where damage most commonly occurs because the pressure is often set too high and the technique is inconsistent.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away surface buildup and is well-suited for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, brick, and stone. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with cleaning solutions to safely clean more delicate surfaces like painted siding, stucco, and wood. Our team uses the right approach for each surface type to ensure effective results without causing damage.
Yes. Pressure washing is one of the most effective ways to remove mildew from exterior surfaces. For heavier mildew buildup our detergent-based cleaning solutions break down the mildew at the surface level for a more thorough clean than water alone can achieve. Addressing mildew promptly is important because left untreated it can work its way into wood surfaces and cause deterioration that goes beyond the surface.
Absolutely, and we recommend it strongly. A freshly pressure washed surface provides a clean, solid foundation that allows paint to bond properly and last longer. Dirt, mildew, and other buildup on the surface can interfere with paint adhesion and lead to premature peeling or failure. If you're planning an exterior repaint, pressure washing is an important first step in the preparation process.
Yes. Greg Unseth Painting & Exteriors provides pressure washing services for commercial building exteriors, parking areas, entryways, and other exterior surfaces throughout Colorado Springs. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption to your business operations and deliver a clean, professional result that makes a strong impression on your customers and clients.
In the hands of an inexperienced operator, yes. High-pressure water applied incorrectly can strip paint, damage wood fibers, force water behind siding, and cause surface damage that's costly to repair. This is one of the most common risks of DIY pressure washing with rental equipment. Our experienced team uses professional grade equipment and the right techniques for each surface type to deliver a thorough, safe clean every time.
