Pressure Washing in Tustin, CA

Most calls we get for pressure washing in Tustin trace back to trees. The city has a large number of street trees, and native sycamores and oaks are common. Shade keeps houses cooler, but fallen leaves, seed pods and sap leave brown tannin marks on concrete, green film on north-facing walls and debris packed into roof valleys. Our job is to lift those stains without scarring the surface underneath.

Leaf and tannin stains on concrete

Wet leaves sitting on a driveway or patio release tannins, the same compounds that color tea. Left long enough, they print a shadow of the leaf into the concrete. Hot water and a plain blast often do little. We pre-treat with a cleaner made for organic stains, let it dwell, and then rinse with a surface cleaner so the finish stays even instead of showing wand stripes.

Roofs under a canopy

Tile and shingle roofs that stay shaded dry slowly after winter rains, and that dampness lets dark streaks and growth take hold. We do not walk a pressure wand across a roof. Roof soft washing uses a low-pressure spray and a cleaning solution that kills growth at the root, then a gentle rinse. That approach protects tile glaze and keeps shingle granules on the roof instead of in your gutters.

Three Tustins, three kinds of homes

Tustin was incorporated on September 21, 1927, when it had roughly 900 residents. Old Town Tustin still holds older buildings, and three local properties, including the David Hewes House and the Sherman Stevens House, are on the National Register of Historic Places. Tustin Meadows, Peppertree and Laurelwood form one of the city's oldest planned neighborhoods. Farther out, Tustin Ranch wraps around a golf course, and Tustin Legacy is a newer neighborhood near the former Marine Corps air station, which closed in 1997. Each area calls for different settings:

• Older homes near Old Town get low-pressure washing on painted wood and plaster
• Planned-tract homes usually need stucco washing, driveway cleaning and gutter-line rinse
• Newer Tustin Legacy and Tustin Ranch homes often have pavers, large patios and solar arrays

Services we offer here

• House washing for stucco, siding and trim
• Driveway and concrete cleaning, including tannin and rust marks
• Roof soft washing for tile and asphalt shingle
• Paver and patio cleaning, with re-sanding advice if joints wash out

• Commercial pressure washing for shopping center walks, medical offices and HOA common areas

Timing around the rainy season

Tustin averages 13.87 inches of rain a year, most of it in January, February and March, and summers are dry with August highs near 87 degrees. Late spring is a good time for a full exterior clean, after the rain has stopped and before summer dust sets in. Fall works well for roofs and gutters once most leaves are down.

How we handle rinse water

We protect curb inlets near your driveway, steer rinse water into landscaped areas and keep cleaning products out of the gutter. Storm drains are meant for rain, not soap and grime, so we treat them as off limits.
