Power Washing Richmond —At Bumblebee Window & Exterior Clean, we know that a clean exterior can dramatically improve the look and feel of your home. Based right here in Richmond, BC, we offer professional power washing services that help homeowners remove built-up grime, moss, and stains from patios, decks, siding, and more. In fact, the difference a single power washing session can make is often remarkable.
In this post, we’re showcasing two local homes in Richmond that we recently cleaned — a backyard patio and a deck — to show just how effective power washing can be. These before-and-after photos highlight the impact of professional exterior cleaning, and why it’s one of the best ways to refresh your home without a costly renovation.
Why Power Washing Matters in Richmond
Richmond’s coastal climate means we’re surrounded by moisture year-round. That’s great for gardens and greenery — but not so great for your outdoor surfaces. Moss, algae, mildew, and general grime build up quickly on patios, decks, and other exterior materials. Over time, this buildup becomes slippery, unsightly, and even damaging to surfaces like wood, concrete, and stone.
That’s where power washing (also known as pressure washing) comes in. Using high-powered water jets — and, when needed, safe biodegradable detergents — we can lift away years of dirt and buildup to reveal the clean surface beneath. Regular power washing helps preserve materials, reduce safety hazards, and keep your home looking well cared for.

Richmond Transformation #1: Backyard Patio Power Wash in Terra Nova
Our first project took us to a home in Richmond’s Terra Nova neighbourhood, where the homeowners had a beautiful concrete patio that had become covered in grime, moss, and green algae. The surface had grown darker over time, and during wet weather, it became slippery and difficult to walk on safely.
Before: The patio was discoloured with patchy green areas and black streaks from moisture and organic debris. The homeowners told us they rarely used the space anymore because it just didn’t feel inviting.
What We Did: We applied a mild, eco-friendly treatment to loosen the buildup and then used a commercial-grade power washer with a surface cleaner attachment to ensure even coverage and no damage to the concrete. We paid special attention to the corners and edges, where moss tends to grow thickest.
After: The transformation was immediate — the concrete’s original tone returned, and the surface was clean, safe, and welcoming again. The homeowners were shocked by how much brighter their patio looked and said they were looking forward to hosting friends outdoors again.

Richmond Transformation #2: Power Washing a Deck in Steveston
For our second featured home, we visited a property in Steveston, where a large deck had weathered over the years. Covered in layers of dirt, algae, and surface discolouration, the deck was looking tired and in need of serious attention.
Before: The deck looked dull and grey, with visible green growth in shaded areas. The homeowner mentioned they were considering resurfacing — but wanted to see if power washing could restore its appearance first.
What We Did: Because certain deck materials can be damaged by excessive pressure, we used a gentler setting with a wide fan spray tip. This allowed us to carefully clean the surface and remove algae, grime, and debris without compromising the deck’s finish.
After: The results were impressive. The deck’s original colour returned, and the space felt brighter, cleaner, and more inviting. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and relieved they didn’t need to invest in more costly repairs or upgrades. A thorough power washing gave the deck a fresh new look.
