What questions should I ask a pressure washing pro?

• <div><p>When researching prospective <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/power-washing/">pressure washing pros</a>, consider asking them the following questions to ensure you hire the right professional for the job. </p><ul><li><p>What factors determine your costs to pressure wash a deck?</p></li><li><p>What are the different techniques you use for different deck materials, such as wood, composite, and metal? </p></li><li><p>How do you ensure that the pressure washer won’t damage the deck? </p></li><li><p>Are there any hidden costs I should prepare for, such as fees for deep stains or mold removal?</p></li><li><p>Can you offer a discounted price if I want to bundle additional services, like sealing or staining?</p></li><li><p>How long does it typically take you to pressure wash a deck like mine?</p></li><li><p>What type of detergents and cleaning solutions do you use? Are they safe for the surrounding ecosystem?</p></li><li><p>Do you recommend applying any treatments or coatings after pressure washing to preserve its appearance? </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

When should you not use a pressure washer?

• <div><p>You <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-you-not-pressure-wash.htm">shouldn’t use a pressure washer</a> on utility meters, generators, AC units, breaker boxes, or anything that contains electrical components.

Q: What size pressure washer should I rent for home use?

• <div><p>A pressure washer&rsquo;s size or power is measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The amount of pressure you need will depend on your project and the material you&rsquo;re washing, but consumer pressure washers range from 500 to 2,400 PSI. Porous materials like brick and stucco should not be blasted with anything stronger than 1,000 PSI, while you can use a PSI of up to 2,400 to clean a vinyl fence. </p></div>

Q: What products are used for professional cleaning?

• <div><p>Professionals use pH-balanced solutions, fabric protectors, and safe steam cleaning technology for specific fabrics. These products are designed to break down dirt effectively without leaving residues.</p></div>

Q: Should you power wash a fence before staining it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-pressure-wash-your-home.htm">power washing</a> isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn&rsquo;t time for dust and dirt to build up again. </p></div>

Q: When should you not use a pressure washer?

• <div><p>You <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-you-not-pressure-wash.htm">shouldn&rsquo;t use a pressure washer</a> on utility meters, generators, AC units, breaker boxes, or anything that contains electrical components. Don&rsquo;t use a pressure washer on living things, either, including people, pets, and plants. Lead paint, asphalt shingles, stained wood, and painted items are also no-gos when it comes to pressure washing.</p></div>

We used Home Comfort to level a sidewalk and concrete patio area which were both sloping towards the house and causing water to pool. Prior to my current job, I worked extensively in home renovation and know the potential foundation problems created by water not draining away from a building....

Bad Service!!! Very unprofessional. We had a service call on a broken washer and the tech was only here for 10 minutes and mis-diagonised the machine which cost us more time and money. We tried to work it out with them and have them come back out and they would not even come out again! Still...
