About Cowboy Cleaners
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Clovis and serve Fresno, Clovis, Visalia, Madera, Tulare, Sanger and Exeter. If you are close to one of these towns, call and ask.
How do I get a quote?
Call (559) 370-9010 or email ryderc76@icloud.com. Tell us what you want cleaned and where you are. Quotes are free. We are open Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Will pressure washing damage my roof or siding?
We do not use high pressure on roofs, siding, stucco or painted wood. Those surfaces are soft washed with low pressure and a cleaning solution. Composite and soft wood decks also get low pressure.
Do I need to be home when you clean?
Usually not. If we can reach an outdoor water spigot, we can do the work while you are out. We will let you know when the job is done.
Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
About driveway & concrete cleaningDo I need to be home while you clean my driveway?
Usually not. If we have access to an outdoor water spigot and the cars are moved off the driveway, we can do the work while you are at work or out for the day.
Will every oil stain come out?
Many oil and rust stains lighten a lot or come out fully with pre-treatment. Very old stains that have soaked deep into the concrete may fade but leave a shadow. We will tell you what to expect when we look at them.
Can high pressure damage my concrete?
It can if it is done carelessly. We use a rotary surface cleaner that holds a steady distance from the surface, and we adjust pressure for older or worn concrete and brick pavers.
Should I seal my driveway after it is cleaned?
Sealing is optional. It helps protect concrete and pavers from water and stains, and the best time to seal is right after a deep cleaning, once the surface is fully dry.
Do you clean sidewalks and walkways too?
Yes. Driveways, front sidewalks, walkways, side yards and other concrete flatwork can all be cleaned in the same visit.
House Washing
About house washingWill house washing damage my stucco or paint?
No. We use soft washing, which means low pressure and a cleaning solution. The solution does the cleaning, so we do not need to blast your walls. This is the safe method for stucco, painted wood, vinyl siding and stone veneer.
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high pressure and works well on hard surfaces like concrete driveways. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaner that kills mildew and algae. We soft wash houses and save high pressure for flatwork.
Do I need to be home during the wash?
Usually not. If we have access to an outdoor water spigot and your gates are unlocked, we can finish the job while you are out. Please close windows and bring in pets before we arrive.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants?
We take care of your landscaping at every step. We soak plants with water before we begin, protect them during the wash and rinse them well afterward.
When is a good time to book a house wash?
Book when you see dirt buildup, dark streaks or green growth on shaded walls. Many homeowners also book before painting, before selling, or ahead of hosting family. Our hours are Monday through Sunday, 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Roof Cleaning
About roof cleaningWill you use a pressure washer on my roof?
No. Roofs never get high pressure from us. We soft wash, which uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to kill and remove growth without harming shingles.
Do I need to be home during the roof cleaning?
Usually not. If we have access to an outdoor water spigot, we can do the work while you are out. We will let you know when the job is done.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants?
We take steps to protect them. Plants are pre-wet, covered where needed, and rinsed again after we finish so the solution does not sit on them.
How do I know if my roof needs cleaning?
Look for black streaks, green or fuzzy patches of moss, or crusty spots of lichen. Any of these means growth is living on the roof and is worth treating.
Are your crew members insured?
Yes. Cowboy Cleaners is insured. Call Ryder at (559) 370-9010 to ask questions or set up a free quote.
Deck & Patio Cleaning
About deck & patio cleaningWill pressure washing damage my wood deck?
High pressure can splinter wood and scar composite, so we do not use it on decks. We use low pressure and a cleaning solution that does the work instead.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Usually not. As long as we have access to an outdoor water spigot, we can do the job while you are at work or out for the day.
Can you clean around my pool?
Yes. We clean concrete and paver pool decks, and we also offer pool cage and screen cleaning if you want the whole area done at once.
What should I do before you arrive?
It helps to move grills, planters, cushions and small items off the deck or patio. Let us know about any loose boards or areas you are worried about.
When can I put my furniture back?
Once the surface is dry. Concrete tends to dry faster than wood, so give a deck a little more time before moving heavy pieces back.
Fence Cleaning
About fence cleaningWill cleaning damage my wood fence?
Wood fences are cleaned with low pressure and a cleaning solution, not a high-pressure blast. That approach removes dirt and growth while protecting the boards.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
Usually not. We need access to the yard and an outdoor water spigot. If a gate is locked, let us know how to get in.
Can you clean vinyl fences too?
Yes. Vinyl fences get the same low-pressure soft wash, which removes the green and black film that builds up on the panels.
Should I clean my fence before staining it?
Yes. Cleaning first removes dirt and mildew so the new stain or sealer goes onto a clean surface. Let the wood dry fully before you apply a finish.
Are your crew members insured?
Yes. Cowboy Cleaners was established in 2026 and is insured.
Pool Cage & Screen Cleaning
About pool cage & screen cleaningWill pressure washing rip my pool screens?
High pressure can, which is why we do not use it on screens. We soft wash the mesh and frame with low pressure and a cleaning solution, and save higher pressure for the concrete deck.
Do I need to be home while you clean?
Usually not. If we can get into the enclosure and use an outdoor water spigot, you can go about your day. We will let you know when the job is done.
Will the cleaning solution get into my pool?
We work to keep solution and runoff out of the pool water. We rinse carefully and direct water away from the pool as we go.
Can you clean the pool deck at the same visit?
Yes. Many customers book the pool deck and pool cage together. We clean the cage first, then wash the deck so dirt from above does not land on clean concrete.
When is a good time to book pool cage cleaning?
Many people book before they start using the pool for the season, or after a stretch of dust and pollen. If the screens look hazy or the frame shows green or black spots, it is a good time to call.
Commercial Pressure Washing
About commercial pressure washingCan you clean before or after our business hours?
Yes. We work seven days a week from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, so we can schedule around your open hours and foot traffic.
Do I need to be on site while you work?
Usually not. If we have access to an outdoor water source and the areas we are cleaning, we can do the job and report back when it is done.
Will pressure washing get oil stains out of our parking lot?
We pre-treat oil and rust stains before washing, which lifts much of the staining. Some old, deep stains may fade rather than disappear fully, and we will tell you what to expect during the quote.
Do you clean apartment and HOA common areas?
Yes. We clean shared walkways, stairwells, breezeways, pool decks and entry areas, and can plan the work in sections so residents can still get around.
Is your crew insured?
Yes. Cowboy Cleaners is insured. We were established in 2026 and serve Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Visalia, Tulare, Sanger and Exeter.
