So how do you decide which one to call?

Many people base their decisions on price alone. While price should always be a consideration, it isn’t always the most important one. If you hire the cheapest company and things don’t come as clean as you wanted, you wasted your money. You want to make sure you’re getting what you paid for.

And what do you do if the pressure washing business you hire makes things worse? If you hire a company that doesn’t have adequate insurance, you might have a real problem.

Professional pressure washing takes more experience than most people realize

Think it can’t happen? We’ve been in business for 28 years and we’ve seen some amazing screw-ups. A commercial pressure washer can cut concrete so you can imagine what it can do to the siding on your house if it isn’t used correctly.

Our company damaged someone’s garage door once. A wasp flew by one of our guys who was afraid of them, and without thinking, he tried to spray the wasp. He hit the garage door behind and made lines in it. It cost us $700 to fix the door – and it was only a $250 job!

But its how we handle our mistakes that’s important. Since we took care of it, we got a great letter from them. You can see it on our endorsement letters page. A company that guarantees their work should be at the top of your priority list.

While having a good rating from the BBB isn’t a guarantee of quality service, it at least shows that the company is trying to maintain a good reputation. If they’ve been in business for a long time and have a good rating, it proves they’re not doing anything to cause customer complaints.

And how can a company guarantee they will do the job right if they’ve never done it before? Experience is important in any service company you hire, not just pressure washing.

How about doing the water recovery? The EPA frowns on people who allow the waste water to run down the storm drains And they can fine the homeowner as well as the pressure washing business. Fines start at $1000 per day.

Make sure the pressure washing business you call keeps up with all the regulations.

Some services need more experience to get the job done right. Unless you know exactly how the job needs to be done, you should call a company with the experience to take care of everything for you.
