Hopkins Hawai´i pressure washing
Pressure washing (also known as power washing) is a simple, affordable way to clean your home’s exterior. We pressure washing for residential and commercial customers in Princeville, Koloa, Waimea, Lihue, and all other parts of the island. We specialize in washing houses and small apartment buildings, and we’re the number one choice for pressure washing on Kaua‘i .
Why You Should Pressure Wash Your Home
- Hawaii’s tropical climate can be hard on your home. Warm, humid weather is a recipe for mold and mildew. Excessive moisture builds up, causing rot and decay.
- Hawaii’s trade winds carry dirt and soot into every nook and crevice of your property.
- The roof, windows, walls, shutters and decking all collect dirt and grime, and your home starts to look old and dingy. If you have siding, water can actually collect under the siding and warp the boards, causing rot and potential for more mold and mildew growth.
- It takes very little time for gutters to collect leaves, debris and standing water. Clogged gutters and downspouts can cause water to run down exterior walls and into your foundation, causing extensive damage you can’t see and won’t even realize until until it’s gone too far. We recommend having your gutters professionally pressure washed at least once a year.
- Driveways, walkways, patios, lanais, even lawn furniture all need a good cleaning at least once a year. Regular cleaning by hand is helpful, but professional power washing takes clean to the next level
- If you own a resort, hotel, or apartment complex, you’ve seen how dirty the high traffic areas can get. The front entrances and sidewalks, as well as pool decks and lanais take a lot of wear and tear. Kaua‘iHandyman Services offers a regular maintenance contract to keep your property looking clean and inviting year round.
Benefits of Pressure Washing
- Increase your home’s value. Pressure washing is one of the most affordable ways to increase the resale value of your home. The National Association of Realtors estimates that pressure washing can add from 5-10% to the sale price.
- Curb appeal. Whether you’re planning to sell or not, pressure washing keeps your home in top condition. Having your home power washed will remove stains, grass clippings ,and mildew that can make the house look unappealing. Like it or not, prospective buyers or renters are swayed by first impressions. And don’t you deserve a beautiful house anyway?
- Preventive maintenance. Scheduling annual pressure washings can save money on costly exterior repairs. Extend the life of your siding, roof, gutters, driveway, walkways, lanai, and deck by keeping the home clean. Regular power washing hinders decay, rot, and premature aging of the home. Once you’ve removed the dirt and mildew from the house, you may find you can put off painting for another year!
- Better health for your family. Contaminants such as mold, mildew, algae, and excess dirt can cause unwanted health problems like asthma and chronic allergies. Regular annual pressure washing protects your family from unwanted germs and bacteria build-up. Keeping walkways and driveways washed can also prevent injuries caused by slipping and falling.
- Clean concrete gets noticed. Nothing says “Aloha” like a sparkling clean property! The parking garage, sidewalks. and entry ways are often the first thing people see when they arrive at your apartment building or vacation rental. Well-maintained surroundings make guests, tourists. and even family feel safe and welcome.

FAQs
Will pressure washing damage my property?
- Not if it’s done correctly!
- Caution before and during the cleaning process is very important. A professional who knows how to regulate the output pressure (psi*) of their machine can easily drop it down to a much safer working level.
- Having extensive knowledge of the different accessories available for pressure washing is another must. Some nozzles have an output spray which is many times more abrasive than others. Being familiar with using a pressure washer also allows a professional pressure cleaner to account for the angle at which the spray is directed at the roof as well as the resulting deflection spray.
- Instead of being a danger to your roof or home, when the above credentials are met, having your roof pressure cleaned becomes a valuable tool in ensuring the longevity of your investment.
- We prepare the surrounding area for pressure washing by covering vegetation, closing all windows and doors, moving or covering furniture or vehicles, and masking exposed outlets.
What is high-pressure washing used for?
- Preparation for High pressure washing can involve wetting and covering all surrounding vegetation, disconnecting power and masking power outlets and closing all windows and doors.
- Ideal for the exterior of buildings, sidewalks, drive-thru lanes, fast food restaurants, banks and most other structures. This process can remove mold, algae, cobwebs, mildew, oil, paint, rust stains and much more. There are different methods used to pressure wash certain areas, such as using a hand held pressure gun or a walk behind surface cleaner.
What about low-pressure washing?
In some cases, we’ll use low-pressure washing, especially for more fragile surfaces like stucco, vinyl siding, brick or porous concrete, doors, windows, and overhangs. In Hawaii’s climate it’s essential to eliminate areas of discoloration, such as algae, mildew, irrigation rust and more. We use a chemical treatment process that combines a mixture of low-pressure water and a professional eco-friendly chemical solution.
