It's incredibly tempting to want to tackle your own pressure washing tasks for your home. You may believe that it's less expensive, and that pressure washing your own home poses less risk of damage than leaving it to someone else. This couldn't be further from the truth.
In reality, trying to DIY pressure washing for your home can create more issues than it solves. Read below to discover three reasons why you shouldn't try to handle pressure washing on your own.
#1: The Equipment Costs You More Than Hiring A Pro
Pressure washing equipment, especially high-quality pressure washing equipment, isn't cheap. You can get consumer-grade equipment for under $199, sure, but that equipment won't work anywhere near as well as what we use to handle a pressure washing or soft washing job.
If you're looking to rent or buy equipment that can really handle the rigors of a thorough pressure washing, you'll end up paying way more than you would to hire a pro to do the job. Besides, we already have the equipment we need to get the job done!
#2: There's A Higher Potential To Miss Spots
Perhaps you have a driveway that needs to be washed. You've heard that all you really need is a water hose and some soap, and you'll be able to do what a pro can do in half the time. Sure, that method works quick, but did it truly work for you?
A few hours after you finish, you go out to check your work. Not only are you finding new spots and water stains, you're also discovering that you didn't exactly wash away all of the dirt and grime.
When you book our driveway washing service, the solutions and pressurized spray that we use are calculated to work together to remove dirt, grime, and stains from your driveway. We work quickly, but we take our time to make sure that our specialized cleaning solutions soak into each crevice of your driveway to lift dirt and grime so that the water can rinse it away.

#3: The Risk For Property Damage Increases
If you aren't sure of how much pressure to use during a pressure washing, it's easy to overestimate. When you overestimate, you vastly increase the risk of causing costly or irreparable damage to your home.
Using too much water pressure can lead to cracks in concrete, stone, or brick. It can especially cause heavy damage to vinyl siding and easily break windows. We're well-trained in how much pressure to use for each surface, meaning that by going with us, the risk of property damage during pressure washing decreases greatly or goes away overall.
