Pressure Washing
Are all pressure washing companies the same?
Anyone can purchase a pressure washer. Simply owning a pressure washer and advertising you offer a service doesn’t mean you can operate it effectively. A pressure washer in the hands of an unskilled operator can cause a great deal of damage. Just to name a few. Wood carved into at too high of pressure, plants and lawn killed, siding blown off, paint peeled from house and even concrete cut and etched.
Do I need to be home when you’re working on my property?
No, because we understand that you are just as busy as we are. We do ask that you close all of your windows, clear your driveway or deck and put away fragile decorations on your home or deck.
Do you recovery your waste water and comply with the E.P.A. guidelines?
We are very conscious on our impact to the environment. We have valuable equipment that recovers waste water so that no water will be wasted.
I received a coupon from another pressure washing company offering very low prices, are your prices higher?
We are very competitive on our pricing. The companies that offer extremely low prices are cutting costs on equipment, using harsh chemicals and not carrying insurance. Low priced offers, according to the Better Business Bureau, result in the most complaints and unresolved problems reported to the BBB.
Is there a difference between pressure washing and power washing?
There is no difference between pressure washing and power washing it’s just a different terminology.
My contractor said my siding and deck are zero maintenance is this true?
Low maintenance yes, zero maintenance no. Anything left outside in the sun and humidity will get dirty. Your car gets dirty sitting in your driveway, so does your house and deck.
What are the benefits of pressure washing?
Just to name a few benefits of pressure washing is eliminating mold and mildew, better curb appeal, safety, and increased property value.
What are these black streaks on my gutters and can they is removed?
The black streaks on your gutters are in the oxidation layer of the paint. The black streaks can be removed with low pressure and the right chemicals.
Why does wood turn gray and can you bring back out the color?
Wood turns gray because it is being exposed to water and the sun. In order to prevent your wood from turning graying, stain and seal your deck or fence every 2 years.
Why is insurance important?
Many contractors state they have insurance, but few actually have more than an automobile policy. If damage occurred to your home by a contractor, or an injury on your property you could easily be held responsible. Always ask for proof of insurance. That little question cold save you thousands of dollars.
Will your pressure washing cause any damage to my property?

Will the chemicals you use do any damage to my plants?
We have spent a considerable amount of time researching and exploring the chemicals we use. We only use safe, biodegradable and effective cleaners that will not harm your landscape.
Will there be streaks on my windows after you clean my house?
No because that’s included at no additional charge in all of our house washes. We will squeegee all of your windows on the first story at no additional charge. We also use a self-neutralizing soap that leaves no streaks or film on your windows.
Will you send us a reminder notice when your service needs to be done again?
Yes, many of our regular customers are on our reminder list. We recommend keeping your property and deck clean and up to date.
X-mass lights
How much does your service cost?
There is no “set” answer to this question. The cost of our service depends on several things, including the number of light strings you’d like to hang, the size of the display you want built and how long it will take us to put your display together. Generally, our prices range from as little as $100 to as high as several thousand dollars for large residential or commercial displays.
How do you price your projects?
If you contact us, we will come out to your home or place of business and consult with you on what type of display you desire. Based upon what you’d like done, we’ll put a quote together for you. An important fact to remember is that we’ll work within any budget, as our success is based partially on our service-oriented flexibility. If the cost is acceptable, we’ll schedule a time to take care of the work. As an aside, our service will generally cost less if we’re able to perform the work early in November as opposed to the pre-holiday rush that typically starts after Thanksgiving
Do you take the lights down at the end of the season?
Yes. Taking down the displays is part of our service, and it’s included in the quote we provide for you before we start work. We begin taking lights down on January 2nd and continue to do so through the third week of January.
