Power Washing vs Pressure Washing

A lot of people use the terms “power washing” and “pressure washing” interchangeably. In most cases, they refer to the same general service: using professional equipment to clean exterior surfaces with pressurized water and the right technique.

Pressure Washing

If you’re looking for our main service page with full details, go here:

Pressure Washing

Power Washing

Either way, the goal is the same: restore exterior surfaces safely and remove buildup that makes them look worn or dirty.

What Power Washing Is Best For

Power washing is best for hard exterior surfaces that can handle higher-pressure cleaning and where buildup is visible.
Common power washing projects include:
Concrete driveways
Sidewalks and walkways
Patios and pavers
Steps and entryways
High-traffic paths and outdoor areas
Some decks and composite surfaces (depends on material)
If you’re unsure whether your surface should be power washed, we’ll recommend the safest approach based on the material and condition.

What Power Washing Removes

Outdoor surfaces take on a lot through the season: dirt, mud, pollen, algae, and staining from weather and runoff. Power washing is designed to lift that buildup and bring back a cleaner look.

Power washing is great for removing:

  • Ground-in dirt and grime
  • Green algae and slippery growth
  • Surface discoloration and weather staining
  • Buildup around steps and entry points
  • Heavy grime in high-traffic zones

If you have specific stains like oil spots or rust, results can vary. Let us know what you’re dealing with and send a photo so we can recommend the best plan.

When Soft Washing Is the Better Choice

Not everything should be cleaned with high pressure. For siding, painted surfaces, and more delicate areas, soft washing is often the safer and more effective option.

Soft washing is best for:

  • Siding and exterior walls
  • Painted trim and finishes
  • Areas where low pressure prevents damage
  • A full home exterior refresh

If your goal is to clean the exterior walls of the home, house washing may be the better fit

Bundle Power Washing With Other Exterior Services

Power washing makes a big difference on its own, but it looks even better when the rest of the exterior is cleaned too. Many customers bundle services to refresh everything in one visit.

Power Washing FAQs

Is power washing the same as pressure washing?

In most cases, yes. Many people use the terms interchangeably. Our main page is here: pressure-washing

Can you clean slippery algae on walkways?

Yes. That’s one of the most common reasons people book power washing.

Do you power wash decks?

Sometimes, depending on the material. Some decks are better cleaned with lower pressure methods.

Can you remove oil stains?

Oil stains can be difficult and results vary. Send a photo and we’ll tell you what’s realistic.

How often should I power wash my driveway?

Most homeowners book once per year or as needed, often in spring.

Do you clean pavers and stone patios?

Yes, but the approach depends on the material. Photos help for accurate quoting.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. We clean entryways, sidewalks, and customer-facing outdoor areas.

Do you offer other services?

Yes. Many customers bundle with house washing, soft washing, gutters, and detailing.

I think this is our 5th year in a row using Next Gen and this crew is just incredible. Professional and clean they get the job done and clean up after themselves like they weren’t even there. My windows are so clean I can’t even tell they are there right now. They also cleaned out our gutters/ power washed our siding and did a certified spider spray which is necessary this close to Lake Ontario. Thanks for all the hard work and we will definitely be calling you again next time!

Ben, Mike and the rest of the NXT GEN team just did an incredible job cleaning the windows both inside and out, screens(!!!) as well as washing the siding on our 2 storey house. I was blown away by their professionalism and attention to little details like cleaning screen troughs. Great pricing too. After using "Paradisus" for the past few years we now say farewell "P" and hello NXT GEN. Thanks again.

My gutters which are too high for my confort level on a ladder were blocked. After an attempt at using a power washer attachment with no success I put in a request on Next Gen's website. Andrew replied withing minutes. That was a Thursday about 4pm. He was there for a quote the next morning on his way to another job. That was Friday. I was booked for the following Monday. That's today. It's 1 pm and the job is done! PERFECTLY clean, not a pebble out of place. Top shelf service! Pricing was super reasonable so I also had them clean the entire outer shell of the house, all soffits and aluminum, power wash the driveway, clean all the windows and do some ant and spider pest control. 2 men showed up on time and ready to work, Andrew being one of them (all owner operators - no temp kids who know nothing). I can not give a higher recomendation. Nick & Julie Sebastian
