FAQ – San Mateo Home Maintenance

Q: Can pressure washing damage concrete driveways or walkways?

When done correctly, pressure washing is completely safe for concrete surfaces. Our San Mateo pressure washing services use calibrated pressure levels and professional nozzles to remove dirt, algae, and oil stains without etching or chipping the surface. This is especially important for older Bay Area properties where concrete may already have surface wear.

Q: Is solar panel cleaning really necessary in San Mateo’s mild climate?

Yes. Even with mild weather, airborne salt from the Bay, tree pollen, and fine construction dust can settle on panels year-round. Without regular solar panel cleaning, energy output can drop by 15–25%. Clean panels absorb more sunlight, making your investment work more efficiently.

Q: How does soft washing differ from traditional pressure washing for Bay Area homes?

Soft washing relies on gentle water pressure and biodegradable cleaners to remove mold, algae, and stains from delicate surfaces like stucco, tile roofs, and painted siding. This approach is ideal for San Mateo homes where architectural details and older finishes can be easily damaged by high pressure.

Q: Can clogged dryer vents really affect indoor air quality?

Yes. Beyond being a fire hazard, dryer vent cleaning is important for keeping lint and dust out of your home’s air. When vents are clogged, moisture and particles can back up into laundry areas, contributing to humidity and airborne allergens—something many coastal California homes contend with.

Q: How often should homeowners schedule full-property maintenance in San Mateo?

For most properties, twice a year - spring and fall - is ideal. A spring visit addresses pollen, dust, and solar panel buildup, while a fall visit clears gutters and prepares your home for winter rains. Many clients also add a quick summer window washing or pressure washing service to maintain curb appeal year-round.
