Why You Should Hire a Pressure Washer

Now that winter has broken, we are all eager to get outdoors. The snow and ice may have wreaked havoc on the exterior of your home. Dirt and stains are sure to turn up once the layer of snow is gone. Bringing in a pressure washer could be the answer to making your home’s exterior beautiful again. Here are some things to know before you select a professional.

What is power washing?

Power washing is the use of a high-pressure water stream to blast stains and dirt from outdoor surfaces. The pressure and temperature combined remove stuck on materials from decks, patios, driveways and more.

Can I do it myself?

Renting equipment from the local big box store is always an option. Power washing can be a bit of an art. Injuries to people and property are hard to avoid for the novice. Scars to wood and broken windows are the least traumatic outcomes of a wild washer.

How to pick a pro?

Ask questions of your professional power washer. Request information on the system and cleaners they use in a typical job like yours. Red flags include use of bleach, lack of insurance and poor reviews on websites like Yelp and Thumbtack.

What is low pressure wash?

Low pressure wash, also known as soft wash, is a method of cleaning that uses less pressure and a cleaning solution. Be wary of any answer that includes bleach. This form of cleaning sometimes requires special environmental considerations including licensing. Check with local governments to find out if your area is subject to this.

Do I tip?

While services like pressure washing include a service fee that is meant to pay the employees for their work, it is a service industry. If you find that your contractors do a superior job or work above and beyond, you are always welcome to give additional gratuity.
