Power Washing Your Home to Keep it Looking Great

Posted on February 28, 2022

We are quickly heading toward the end of winter. This means it’s time to get outside and clean up all the dirt and grime that collects on the exterior of your home or business.

The snow and ice can wreak havoc on the exterior part of your home. Dirt and stains are sure to turn up once the layers of snow & ice are gone. You may also have to deal with the residue from the brine and salt used on roads to melt ice and snow. This stuff is a major pain and will cause damage to your exterior surfaces.

CertaPro Painters Can Help with Your Powerwashing Project
Bringing in a power 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 exterior walls, decks, patios, driveways, and more.

Can I do it myself?
Yes, you could. But that means renting equipment from the local big box store. Then you have to drag all the equipment home, put it together, figure out how to work it, and then actually spend hours completing the job.

Also, power washing can be a bit of an art. Injuries to people and property are hard to avoid for the novice operator. Scars to wood and broken windows are the least traumatic outcomes of a wild washer. But it doesn’t stop there. An inexperienced operator could harm themselves or others. It is only water, but with that type of pressure behind it, it can break the skin and cause major injuries.

Did You Know that pressure washing prevents potential costly damage?
When you invest in a professional power washing service, you are able to better protect your home from future damages. Your siding or other outdoor services can begin to deteriorate over time if they are not properly taken care of. These kinds of repairs can be quite expensive. This is why we recommend that local property owners keep up with routine maintenance services, like pressure washing.

Did you know power washing can help clean the air?
Do you or someone you love suffer from allergies? Power washing your home is a great way to remove excess mold and mildew from exterior surfaces. Once the service has been completed, you may notice that you can feel the increased air quality of your home. So power washing is not only good for your property but is also great for your family’s health as well.

CertaPro can do your pressure washing with ease
Your local CertaPro painters are experts at power washing. They bring all the equipment, do the work and then clean up the mess before they go. That sounds a lot better than spending a whole weekend learning to power washing and then spending more time repairing all the damage you did before you learned how to do it properly.

CertaPro will even come out to do a consultation, answer all your questions, and provide you with an itemized estimate for your project. You will have the opportunity to ask your pressure washer questions and get information on the system and cleaners they use in a typical job like yours.
