What happens if I don't pressure wash my driveway?

• <div><p>Not pressure washing your driveway can lead to several consequences that affect both its appearance and its structural integrity over time: </p><ul><li><p><b>Reduced Curb Appeal:</b> A dirty driveway covered in grime, stains, and mildew detracts from your home's overall appearance. </p></li><li><p><b>Safety Hazards:</b> The buildup of algae, moss, and mildew creates slippery surfaces. When wet, it increases the risk of slips and falls for you, your family, and visitors. </p></li><li><p><b>Structural Damage:</b> Dirt, debris, and organic growth can trap moisture against the driveway's surface. In colder climates, this moisture can freeze and thaw, leading to cracks and deterioration of the concrete or asphalt.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t pressure wash before painting?

• <div><p>If the exterior walls are not thoroughly cleaned before a paint job, the paint could stick to the grime, creating obvious imperfections along the way. Beyond that, painting over a freshly-cleaned wall just about doubles the lifespan of the paint, from three or four years to seven to ten years. </p></div>

Q: What should I think about when hiring a pressure washing professional?

• <div><p>When hiring someone to pressure wash your home, you should always look for a company that&rsquo;s bonded, licensed, and insured. Beyond that, look for companies with good reputations and customer reviews. And before you sign a contract, make sure you receive a written estimate that details all the costs for your project.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Which is better: a power washer or a pressure washer?

• <div><p>Pressure washers are better for residential use. Power washers are best suited for cleaning very hard surfaces (like concrete and cement) and removing tough stains or tacked-on grime. Meanwhile, pressure washers have more uses. For example, you can use one to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pressure-wash-fence.htm">deep clean a wooden fence</a>, spray down your vinyl siding, or clear out your gutters.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to sand or power wash a deck?

• <div><p>It is best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-power-wash-deck.htm">power wash your deck</a> and sand it, as cleaning removes grime, mildew, and dirt, while sanding refreshes the wood and allows the stain to penetrate. You should clean your deck first, sand it, and then stain it. You should clean your deck annually, while sanding and staining only needs to be done every three years. </p></div>

The work was spread over a very long time. I had 2-3 months where I couldn't get anyone involved to return my calls and tell me what was going on. The original salesman was about the only one who would call back but he had little control over what was happening. When the gutter replacement was...

we had just bought our house and found the front load washer had a lot of mold and mildew on the door seal/bellows. I had called John's appliance and the owner Mike had to order the seal. After a couple of weeks he arrived with the seal and did a great job installing and cleaning up afterwards.

"I was recommended by a close friend Randy Fletcher to hire Caleb as I needed yard work done. I hired Caleb to run a hi-tech mower and a weed trimmer/brush cutter. I showed him once on how to operate and he did everything perfectly. After an hour of work I increased his agreed price by $3 per hour. When I found out his last name was Formo, I knew that I hired the right man as I know his elders. I highly recommend Caleb to anyone. Not only for yard work but for any projects he may want to take on. He is highly efficient! Please call if you have any questions. Al Kochmann 218-747-2263"
