ProCare Halifax is HRM’s trusted exterior surface cleaning specialist.
Fully licensed, insured, and BBB accredited, we use the right cleaning method for every surface. This includes gentle soft washing for delicate materials and controlled pressure washing for tough concrete and stone.
Dartmouth’s “City of Lakes” environment creates a specific set of challenges for your home’s exterior. With high moisture levels from the harbour and numerous inland lakes, algae and mildew grow rapidly on siding, decks, and driveways. This organic growth isn’t just a cosmetic issue; it traps moisture, which can lead to wood rot and premature wear on masonry. Left untreated, these surfaces become slick and hazardous, especially during the humid spring and fall months.
The damp conditions that cause roof moss in neighbourhoods like Portland Estates, Crichton Park, and Manor Park also impact your hardscape surfaces. Areas with heavy tree canopies or north-facing walls rarely get enough sunlight to dry out, making them hotspots for moss and black algae streaks. Professional pressure washing is the most effective way to remove these layers and restore your property.
Oil, grease, and tire marks soak deep into concrete and asphalt. Over time, they darken surfaces and reduce curb appeal. Professional driveway cleaning lifts embedded stains and restores a clean, uniform finish.
After winter, salt, sand, and road grime build up on driveways, sidewalks, and entryways. Pressure washing clears away buildup and protects your concrete and stone.
Halifax’s damp climate encourages algae and moss to grow on concrete, pavers, walkways, and steps. This creates slippery surfaces, safety risks, and helps prevent regrowth.
Not all exterior surfaces are built for high pressure. On sensitive materials, pressure washing can cause damage or water intrusion. That’s why we assess every property before cleaning.
Best for delicate or porous surfaces where pressure can cause harm:
Our team provides professional soft washing and pressure washing throughout the HRM, including dedicated service to Dartmouth and its unique residential communities. We regularly work with homeowners in Woodlawn, Russell Lake, and Colby Village, as well as across the wider area. Our service area also extends to South Shore locations like Hubbards, Chester, and Lunenburg.

Please note: Complimentary gutter clearing refers to removing internal debris to support proper drainage and does not include exterior gutter brightening.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water at ambient temperature. Power washing uses heated water for cutting through grease and oil.
Not when done correctly. We adjust pressure based on the surface. Concrete can handle 3,000+ PSI, while wood decks require soft washing at 500 PSI or less. Damage occurs when inexperienced operators use excessive pressure or improper techniques. Our technicians are trained on proper PSI levels, nozzle selection, and distance from the surface.
Pressure washing is best for hard, durable surfaces such as:
Roofs, siding, and wood surfaces should be cleaned using soft washing rather than high pressure.
Pricing depends on surface type, square footage, and condition.
We provide free estimates with clear scope and pricing before any work begins.
Most Dartmouth homeowners benefit from annual cleaning. Properties in wooded or shaded areas, or those near the coast, may need more frequent cleaning due to faster algae and mildew buildup. We can recommend a schedule based on your property’s specific conditions.
Yes, with proper precautions. We pre-rinse plants before cleaning, use biodegradable solutions where possible, and thoroughly rinse vegetation afterward. For sensitive landscaping, we cover plants with tarps during the process.
Spring (late April through June) is ideal for removing winter grime and preparing surfaces for summer use. Fall cleaning (September to October) is also popular for removing organic buildup before winter. We can work in any season above freezing (0°C/32°F), though spring and fall offer the best conditions.
Most oil stains can be significantly reduced or removed with specialized degreasers and hot water treatment. Older, deeply embedded stains may require multiple treatments. We’ll assess the stains during our free estimate and provide realistic expectations.
