Most of what dulls a Dinosaur building blows in or rolls in. Traffic on US-40 and Colorado 64 kicks up dust, plows throw grit and melt residue at walls in winter, and strong sun bakes it all onto siding and trim. When so many of your customers are travelers, that worn-down look is the first thing they notice.
Our pressure washing service covers siding, soffits, porches, decks, fences, concrete walks, driveways, patios, storefronts, and sign faces. Hard surfaces get higher pressure and a surface cleaner, while painted wood, vinyl, and softer materials get a low pressure soft wash. Dinosaur sits far out on our route, so we plan wash days ahead and tell you upfront whether we’ll need water from your spigot.
We know how highway dust, winter grit, and strong sun build up on Dinosaur buildings, so we plan each wash around it.
We haul washers, a surface cleaner, soft wash gear, and plenty of hose, so siding and concrete both get done on one trip.
If siding is brittle or a deck board is rotting, we'll point it out before any water touches it.
Plants stay covered, runoff stays where we planned it, and walks get a last rinse so you can use them right away.
Dinosaur is a crossroads. US-40 runs along the north edge of town, and Colorado 64 starts here and heads 18 miles toward Rangely. That traffic, along with gravel drives and open ground, sends a steady film of dust onto anything nearby. In winter, plows and tires add road grit and melt residue to walls, steps, and entries. Summer sun at 5,922 feet then bakes that layer onto paint and siding, and the longer it sits, the harder it is to rinse off.
A good wash removes all of it: dust, grime, cobwebs, bird droppings, and the dark streaks that form under eaves and gutters. It also gives you a clear look at what’s underneath, which matters if you’re planning repairs or fresh paint.
The biggest mistake in pressure washing is using the same blast on everything. Too much pressure etches concrete, splinters wood, strips paint, and drives water behind siding. We set the method by surface:
Washing a wood fence often shows loose boards and soft posts you couldn’t see under the dirt. When that happens, our fence repair crew can fix them while the fence is clean.
With a tourism economy, much of Dinosaur’s business comes from people passing through on the way to the monument or stopping at the Colorado Welcome Center. They size up a place in a few seconds from the parking lot. Clean entries, bright siding, and spotless walkways tell them someone takes care of it. Dirty steps and dusty windows tell them the opposite.
Many owners book a wash ahead of the busy summer season and again after it winds down. Sign faces collect the same dust as the building, and if washing turns up a sign that’s loose or damaged, our signage installation and repair service can reset or remount it.
Our crew is based in Vernal, and Dinosaur is a planned trip rather than a quick stop. We schedule wash days ahead and often group several Dinosaur properties into one outing. Late spring is the most popular time, since it clears off winter grime before the summer crowds show up. Early fall is the second window, especially before sealing or staining. We avoid washing when nights are near freezing, because water left in cracks can freeze and cause damage, and on hot afternoons we work shaded sides first so cleaners don’t dry on the surface.
Before we arrive, move vehicles, furniture, and anything fragile off porches and walks. Close windows tightly and let us know about any outlets or lights near the wash area.
Sealers, stains, and paint bond best to a clean, dry surface. Washing first removes the dust and film that cause new coatings to peel early. For concrete, we wash, let the slab dry completely, and then it’s ready for the next step. Our concrete sealing service follows naturally after a deep clean of driveways, patios, and walks. The same goes for decks: a gentle wash, a full dry out, then stain or sealer. If you’re planning repairs, washing first makes cracks and damage much easier to see and price accurately.
The town was once named Artesia for its artesian springs, but that doesn’t mean wash water can go anywhere it likes. We plan runoff before we start, so water and cleaners don’t pool against foundations, flow into window wells, or run where they shouldn’t. Plants get rinsed before and after anything that uses a cleaner, and we choose products that suit the surface. If oily grime is coming off a shop pad or parking area, we keep it from heading toward drains. When we’re done, walks and steps get a final rinse so nobody tracks residue inside.
We look at each surface on your list, mark stains and damage, find the nearest spigot, and map out where runoff will drain.
Your free quote breaks the job down by surface and method, including spot treatments, so nothing on the bill surprises you.
Plants and fixtures get covered, each surface gets its own pressure setting, and stubborn oil or rust gets treated first.
We tour the cleaned areas together, rewash anything that missed the mark, and mention any cracks or peeling we found.
