If you are thinking of having something power washed, we encourage you to follow these steps:
Step #1:
Make a commitment to yourself to power wash your home or property. The longer it remains dirty, the more damage is being done to your image and your investment.
Step #2:
List your objectives. Do you want a real simple wash, something you could do yourself with a rented machine? Are you willing to place your investment into the hands of a company that offers the lowest price, knowing that they may not be in business tomorrow? Or do you want hire a knowledgeable, professional power washing company that you can trust to give you the quality job you deserve?
Step #3:
Ask the correct questions of a power washer before you hire him. The way to learn about a contractor is to ask specific questions and listen carefully to the answers. Here are some tough questions to ask a contractor before you decide to hire him.
- What is your cleaning process?
- What type of pressure washing equipment do you use?
- How much pressure do you use do you use to clean vinyl and decking?
- What type of cleaners do you use?
- How often should I have my house, gutters, etc cleaned?
- Do you have any before and after pictures I can see?
- Do you have any customer testimonials?
- Do you have any references?
- Are you insured in case you get hurt or damage anything?
Step #4:
Once you are satisfied that you are working with an honest, competent professional, invite him to your home and ask for a specific written estimate. A written estimate gives you the assurance that you know exactly what your job will cost.
