Why shouldn’t I just do this myself?
In short, it’s time consuming and expensive. The average pressure washer costs around $100/day to rent. You’ll have to worry about picking up the machine, cleaning it, fueling it, and dropping it back off again. More importantly, it’s possible that you could damage your home’s exterior by using a pressure washer that’s too strong for your house’s finish or by filling it with the wrong detergent. Many untrained people end up causing more harm than good to their homes in the long run. It takes years of experience to be able to do the job right.
Won’t pressure washing damage my siding?
No. We regulate our washing pressure based on the surface that’s being cleaned. For example, your brick driveway will receive significantly more pressure than your stained roof shingles. The most important aspects of a good pressure wash are using a good detergent mixture, hot water, and hitting all the important spots effectively.
How often should I pressure wash my home?
Homes in humid environments should be pressure washed yearly. If your home is in a colder environment with low precipitation, you should aim for bi-annually. It’s important not to wait too long between washings. The accumulated grime can become extremely difficult to remove and will end up costing you more money.
Do I need to prepare my home for the pressure washing service?
You’ll need to make sure that all of your windows are closed, that your driveway is clear, and that all delicate decorations on your home’s exterior are removed before starting. You don’t even have to be home!
