Hiring a pressure washing company vs DIY

While you are able to pressure wash your home on your own, there are a few reasons why it might be better to hire a professional pressure washing company.

‍

For starters, machines from retail stores such as Home Depot or Lowes are only capable of cleaning at 1/8th to 1/10th the speed of a real pressure washing company with professional equipment.

‍

To counter this, some homeowners will attempt to use a more aggressive spray tip that covers less area and causes more damage because of the amount of psi being applied.

‍

About 1 in every 5 residential or commercial sites that we work on have permanent etch marks from these techniques.

‍

Secondly, we have also commonly found that many contractors such as painters, landscapers, or window washers that offer pressure washing services are using the same type of equipment in their applications .

‍

In many cases they can do damage to your property or be in over their head causing them to cut corners or abandon the project entirely.

‍

Lots of hard work goes into how we price our jobs. If you are looking to have your property cleaned, we are always happy to give free quotes to anyone who is interested!

How can you ensure you hire the right pressure washing company?

‍

Finding contractors you trust can be tough. You don’t know if they will stick to their word, whether or not they will do a good job, or even if they know what they’re doing in the first place! 

‍

Luckily, you don’t need to interrogate every pressure washing business in your city to find the right people for the job. 

‍

Instead, there are just a few things to look out for:

‍

• Are they fully insured?
• Do they have photos of the type of work you are looking to do? (for example, if you would like your roof washed, do they have photos of roofs they have cleaned in the past?)
• Do they have testimonials from other homeowners in your city?

‍

Going through these few things is a quick, easy way to ensure your home will be well taken care of!
