Pressure Washing in Tempe. Tempe's rental and multi-unit properties carry the exterior surfaces that get cleaned least often, usually because nobody is sure whose job it is.
Pfaff Cleaning Co. is locally owned, with the owners overseeing every job. See our full process and service area on the main pressure washing page.
Washing is 15% off when you book online. Paver sanding and sealing is not discounted.
Stucco, painted block, tile roofing, and natural stone are soft washed. Full pressure on those surfaces causes damage worse than the dirt was.

From jobs across the Valley.
Driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks, pavers, block walls, fences, stucco exteriors, and tile roofing. Both pressure washing and soft washing, chosen by surface rather than by habit.
The skill here is not owning a pressure washer. Wrong pressure or wrong technique etches concrete, strips stucco, cracks pavers, and damages roof tile. Stucco, painted block, tile roofing, and natural stone all get soft washed, which uses lower pressure with cleaning solutions instead of force.
A company that defaults to full pressure on every surface is a real risk on any property with premium exterior material.
Dirt, dust, algae, mildew, and general weathering come off reliably. Rust, deeply set oil, fertilizer staining, and some discoloration may not fully disappear regardless of method. We say which one you have during the inspection rather than after the invoice.
Cheap pressure washing is fast because it blasts everything, including your stucco. We take our time and read the surface first.
Most of the damage we get called to look at was done by pressure. Stucco pitted, paint stripped in stripes, mortar cut out from between pavers, wood furred up. All of it from someone treating a pressure washer as the whole method.
What we charge for is knowing which surface takes pressure and which takes chemistry and a soft wash. On a house that means the cleaner does the work and the water rinses. On concrete it means a surface cleaner for an even finish rather than the wand stripes that never come out.
Cheap pressure washing is fast because it skips the part where you decide what the surface can take.
Siding cleaning on stucco, block, and painted surfaces is a soft wash, because high pressure on stucco takes the finish off with the dirt. Concrete and pavers take more pressure and a surface cleaner for an even finish.
Walkways, entries, and shared concrete in apartment and condo properties take continuous foot traffic and almost never get washed between tenancies. That is where the staining concentrates, and it is also the first thing a prospective tenant sees.
Older Tempe housing near downtown and the university also carries more original concrete than newer parts of the Valley, with decades of embedded soil and oil staining in the parking and entry areas.
We work with owners and property managers on turnover timing and can handle multiple units or a whole common area in one visit with a single invoice. For a property going back on the market, exterior washing is one of the cheapest things that changes how it shows.
Pressure where concrete can take it. Soft wash where stucco cannot.

Yes, homes throughout Tempe and the surrounding Valley.
Not at full pressure. Stucco is soft washed, which uses lower pressure with cleaning solutions instead of force.
Most improve significantly. Oil that has deeply set into the concrete may not fully disappear, and we say which you have before we start.
Yes, with optional sanding and sealing afterward to protect the joints and the surface.
Yes. Full pressure cracks and chips roof tile, so roof work is soft washed.
About once a year for most properties, more often with heavy dust, nearby construction, or shaded areas prone to algae.
Late September into October, after monsoon season stops undoing the work.
People use the two the same way, and so do we. What matters is matching pressure and water to the surface: full pressure where concrete can take it, a soft wash on stucco and wood.
Driveways from $350, or $297.50 online. House washing from $800. Paver sealing is priced per square foot and not discounted.
