Sooke takes more rain than anywhere else in Greater Victoria. West of the Sooke Hills, driveways green over, siding streaks, and decks turn slick through the wet months. Shine Pros clears it — matching the pressure to the surface so concrete gets cleaned and siding gets cared for.
Sooke’s rainfall, tree cover and coastal humidity are ideal for algae, moss and lichen. Shaded driveways around Sooke Basin and Saseenos hold moisture for weeks. Properties out toward East Sooke and Otter Point sit under dense second-growth forest that keeps surfaces damp year-round.
Left alone, that growth is more than unsightly. Algae makes walkways and decks genuinely slippery, and moss holds water against concrete, wood and siding, working into joints and shortening the life of the surface.
Pressure washing and soft washing are different tools. Concrete driveways, walkways and stone patios can take real pressure. Siding, painted surfaces, cedar and composite decking cannot — those get a low-pressure soft wash with cleaning solutions that do the work instead of force.
Using a pressure washer on the wrong surface etches concrete, splinters wood, and drives water behind siding. We match the method to the material.
We start by identifying what each surface is made of and how much growth has built up. Plants and garden beds are protected, and any loose debris is cleared. Then we set the pressure and choose the cleaning solution for that specific surface, rather than running one setting across the whole property.
Concrete and stone are washed at working pressure; siding, decks and painted surfaces get a low-pressure soft wash. Everything is rinsed down, debris is cleared from your grounds, and we walk the property with you before we leave so you can see the result.
Not every job needs high pressure. Soft washing uses low pressure and the right cleaning solution to lift algae and grime from delicate surfaces without damage. It is the safer choice for siding, cedar and anything painted.
Our crews are fully insured, and we protect plants and garden beds before any work begins.
Sooke properties are not all alike. Waterfront exposure around Whiffin Spit brings salt and wind. Forested lots through East Sooke and Otter Point bring shade, needle drop and persistent damp. Newer developments at Sunriver and Broomhill have wide concrete driveways that green over quickly.
A locally owned business, not a franchise. We travel out to Sooke regularly and know what the rain does out here.

Not if the right method is used. Siding, painted surfaces and cedar decking get a low-pressure soft wash rather than a pressure washer. High pressure on those surfaces splinters wood and can drive water behind cladding.
Most Sooke driveways benefit from an annual wash, given the rainfall and tree cover. Heavily shaded properties toward East Sooke and Sooke Basin often green over within a single wet season.
Pressure washing uses force and suits concrete, paver and stone. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution, and suits siding, painted surfaces and wood. We use both, matched to the surface.
Yes. Algae and moss make concrete and decking genuinely slippery once wet, which is most of the Sooke winter. Clearing it is as much a safety job as a cosmetic one.
Driveways, walkways, patios, decks, fences, siding and house exteriors. If you are unsure whether a surface can be cleaned safely, ask and we will tell you honestly.
Yes. Plants and beds adjacent to the work area are protected before we start, and everything is rinsed down once the wash is complete.
