Pressure Washing Services
Pressure washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove dirt, mold, algae, and buildup from exterior surfaces like decks, driveways, and home siding. GlassWing window cleaning provides pressure washing services throughout Ottawa and the surrounding area, helping homeowners and business owners restore their properties to like-new condition without the time and effort of doing it yourself.
The Problem: Your Deck Looks Nothing Like It Did Five Years Ago
You step outside on a summer evening and notice it. The deck that once gleamed in the sunlight now looks grey and weathered. Black streaks run across the boards-mold or algae, you're not quite sure which. The siding around your home's foundation has a film of grime that makes the whole house look older than it is. A pressure washer sits in your garage, but the thought of spending your weekend wrestling with it, figuring out the right pressure setting, and risking damage to your landscaping or trim feels like more work than the problem is worth.
In Ottawa, where our climate brings wet springs, humid summers, and freeze-thaw cycles that invite mold and algae growth, this buildup happens faster than homeowners expect. The longer it sits, the more it stains-and the harder it becomes to remove. Many people in Ottawa put it off year after year, telling themselves they'll get to it eventually.
Our Approach: Pressure Washing Services Done Right
GlassWing Window Cleaning brings equipment, expertise, and respect for your property to every job. Rather than blast away indiscriminately, the team assesses each surface-deck wood, composite materials, vinyl siding, concrete, or brick-and applies the right pressure and technique to clean without causing damage.
What sets this work apart is the commitment to eco-friendly practices. GlassWing uses biodegradable cleaning solutions and water-conservation techniques, so your property gets cleaned thoroughly without harming your garden, your neighbors' yards, or local waterways. For Ottawa homeowners who care about their environmental footprint, this matters.
The process typically begins with an on-site assessment. Jennifer Haynes or her team walks the property, identifies what needs cleaning, discusses your concerns about specific areas, and explains the approach before any work begins. This personalized attention-not a phone quote from a call center-builds confidence that your home is in capable hands.
Comparing Surface Types and What Each Needs
| Surface Type | Common Issues | Pressure Level & Method |
|---|---|---|
| Wood Decks | Algae, mold, weathering discoloration | Lower pressure (1200-1500 PSI) with biodegradable cleaner to preserve wood integrity |
| Composite Decking | Surface staining, mildew | Moderate pressure (1500-2000 PSI) with gentle technique to avoid groove damage |
| Vinyl or Fiber Cement Siding | Dirt film, mold streaks, oxidation | Medium pressure (2000-2500 PSI) with angled spray to avoid water infiltration behind panels |
| Concrete Driveways | Oil stains, algae, general grime | Higher pressure (2500-3000 PSI) with targeted application to lift embedded stains |
The Results: A Home That Feels New Again
When the work is done, the transformation is immediate and visible. Decks regain their natural color and texture. Siding brightens noticeably. Driveways look clean enough to park on without feeling self-conscious. For many homeowners in Ottawa, the psychological lift of seeing their property restored is as valuable as the cleaning itself.
One common outcome: homeowners realize how much they were overlooking. A deck that looked "okay" suddenly becomes a pleasant outdoor living space again. Curb appeal improves noticeably-something real estate agents and business owners understand well. A clean exterior signals maintenance and care, even if the surfaces themselves haven't changed.
"Because pressure washing removes years of accumulated grime and biological growth, your property not only looks better-it lasts longer. Mold and algae accelerate deterioration of wood and siding materials. Regular cleaning extends the life of those surfaces by years."
Who Chooses This Service in Ottawa
GlassWing serves three distinct groups. Homeowners aged 35 to 65 who want their properties maintained but lack the time or inclination to DIY. Real estate agents and realtors preparing properties for open houses and showings-a clean exterior makes homes show better and helps properties move faster. And commercial property managers and business owners who need regular maintenance on storefronts, office building exteriors, and parking areas.
Environmentally conscious customers throughout Ottawa form another core group. They specifically choose this service because GlassWing's approach aligns with their values: biodegradable products, water conservation, and genuine care for the surrounding community.
If your home's exterior surfaces need attention-or if you're preparing a property for sale or showing-GlassWing Window Cleaning is ready to help. Reach out to discuss your needs and get a clear picture of what this service can do for your property.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have pressure washing done in Ottawa?
Ottawa's climate-with moisture, mold, and algae growth-typically calls for pressure washing every 1-2 years for most homes. Decks and shaded areas may need it more frequently, while well-maintained siding might go longer. GlassWing can assess your property and recommend a schedule that keeps surfaces clean without over-washing.
Can pressure washing damage my deck or siding?
Yes, if done incorrectly-but no, if done right. Using excessive pressure or the wrong technique on wood, vinyl, or composite materials can cause damage. GlassWing adjusts pressure and method based on each surface type, using lower PSI for delicate materials and biodegradable cleaners to protect finishes while removing buildup effectively.
Is professional pressure washing worth the cost in Ottawa?
It saves time, prevents damage risk, and extends the life of your exterior surfaces. A DIY pressure washer rental plus your weekend labor, plus the risk of accidentally stripping finish or forcing water behind siding, often costs more in the long run. Professional service in Ottawa is typically a worthwhile investment for homeowners and businesses.

SERVICES
ECO-FRIENDLY
We’re doing everything we can to be positive contributors to our beautiful city and the environment.
Biodegradable Cleaners
We use an orange-peel based pressure wash cleaning fluid that we use to clean your siding or walls with first before breaking out the pressure washer. The orange peel cleaner is biodegradable and 100% eco-friendly (and does an amazing job breaking down dirt).
Low Water Usage
We have adopted the process of cleaning exterior walls with our orange-peel soap and a mop before power washing. This creates a much cleaner surface than pressure washing alone, it allows us to not have to use the full power of a pressure washer (which can damage your siding), and we use much less water, which is great for the environment and the city’s water usage.All our soaps and cleaning materials we use for windows are biodegradable and include zero phosphates.
Soy Based Inks
All of our printed materials, business cards, brochures, receipts, etc are printed on recycled papers using soy based inks (no oil based inks).
Sensible Vehicle
We need a truck to transport our equipment from job to job, but that doesn’t mean we need to drive a huge gas-guzzling monster truck. Our vehicles are compact pick-ups. They’re great on gas.
