Mountain humidity, tree cover, and winter runoff leave their mark. We clean it off — driveways, decks, siding, and full cabin exteriors.
Get a QuoteHardCraft handles pressure washing across Banner Elk, Boone, Beech Mountain, and the surrounding High Country communities. Up here, the combination of heavy rainfall, heavy tree canopy, and freeze-thaw cycles means exterior surfaces accumulate grime faster than in the Piedmont — and that buildup does damage if you leave it alone.
We clean driveways and walkways — concrete and stone surfaces that collect road salt, pollen, and algae. We clean wood and composite decks as part of a prep-and-seal cycle, removing mold and mildew before staining or sealing. We clean vinyl, wood, and board-and-batten siding on primary homes and vacation cabins. We also do fence washing, dumpster pads, and general exterior hardscape.
A lot of our work comes from vacation rental property owners who manage cabins remotely. Exterior appearance matters for booking rates, and we can schedule recurring cleanings between guest turnover seasons so the property always shows well.
We use hot and cold pressure washing depending on the surface — hot water cuts grease and oil on driveways, cold water with the right detergent is safer for siding and older wood. We do not just point a wand at your house and walk away. We work methodically and we do not leave streaks.

Most residential jobs run $150–$450 depending on square footage and surface type. A standard driveway is typically $150–$200. A full cabin exterior (all four sides of siding) runs $300–$450+. Deck washing alone is usually $125–$250. We give flat quotes up front — no hourly surprises.
In the High Country, once a year is the minimum for most homes. If you have heavy tree cover — especially hemlock or pine — you may need it twice a year. Vacation rentals benefit from a spring cleaning after ski season and a late-summer cleaning before fall foliage season.
Spring and early fall are the sweet spots. Late April through June gives you dry weather after pollen season ends. September through October works well before leaf drop. We work year-round, but frozen surfaces and sub-freezing temps make winter pressure washing impractical most of the time.
Move vehicles out of the driveway, put away outdoor furniture and decorations, and make sure we have access to an exterior water spigot. That's it. We handle the rest — setup, chemicals, cleanup, and pack-out.
Not if done right. The wrong PSI on older wood or painted siding can cause damage — that's why we assess the surface before we start and use the appropriate pressure and detergent mix. Old, soft wood gets low pressure. Concrete and pavers can handle significantly more. We set the pressure to the job, not to a default setting.
