Pressure Washing in Bennett, CO

Pressure Washing in Bennett deals with a different kind of dirt than the close-in suburbs. The town sits on open prairie where State Highways 36 and 79 meet, just north of Interstate 70, and the 2020 census counted every Bennett resident as living in a rural area. Wind crossing open fields carries fine soil onto siding, windows, porches and garage doors, and unpaved roads nearby add mud and dust to driveways and walks.

Bennett is also growing fast for a small town. Census counts went from 2,021 people in 2000 to 2,308 in 2010 and 2,862 in 2020, a gain of about 24% in the last decade. New houses bring fresh concrete, new vinyl or fiber cement siding and new fences. Starting those materials off with the right, gentle cleaning method helps them keep their finish instead of wearing it down. On streets that are still filling in, construction traffic, builder dust and mud from neighboring lots can coat a new home within months of move-in.

Matching the method to the surface

• Vinyl and fiber cement siding: low-pressure soft washing to lift dust film and cobwebs
• Driveways and walks: moderate pressure with a rotary surface cleaner to avoid stripes
• Wood and composite fences and decks: low pressure and a cleaner made for the material
• Roofs: soft washing only, with no high-pressure spray on shingles
• Gutters: hand cleanout of soil, seed and debris, then a flush of each downspout

Dust, mud and tumbleweeds

Prairie dust settles as a thin layer that turns into streaks the first time it rains. Seed heads, weeds and tumbleweeds can pile up against fences, garage doors and window wells. We clear loose debris first and then wash, so the water carries the film away instead of turning dust into mud on the wall. For homes near gravel roads, washing late in the dry season can help the result last into winter.

A town with a flood history

Bennett's past includes two serious Kiowa Creek floods. In May 1878 high water washed out a railroad bridge and a Kansas Pacific train fell into the creek, and in 1935 floods again carried off rail and highway bridges near town. Drainage still matters on the plains. We keep soapy or dirty wash water out of ditches, culverts and storm inlets, and route clean rinse water toward open ground that can take it in. If your lot drains toward a roadside ditch, point it out when we visit so the equipment layout accounts for it.

Getting a quote in Bennett

We come out, look over each surface, and give you a written estimate listing the method, the areas included and how we will protect plants, windows, outdoor outlets and garden beds near the work. Shops, barns and detached garages can be added as separate line items, and so can fences, gates and the porch. Call (720) 419-1995 to set up a visit.

Garage doors, windows and entries

The sides of a house that face the prevailing wind take the most dust. Garage doors, window frames, screens and front entries can be hand-detailed after the main wash so grit does not stay packed into tracks and corners. If you are getting the house ready for photos or a sale, we can start with the front elevation and the driveway and add the rest of the property later.
