Get matched with top pressure washers in Elephant Butte, NM

The cost of power washing a 2,000-square-foot home averages between $200 and $300, and hiring a professional pressure washer comes with perks. They'll bring their own washer and cleaning solution, and experienced professionals will know how to get the job done without damage. Power washing uses high-powered jets, and if you don't do the job properly, you can damage your gutters, siding, and landscaping.

The white nozzle is your best choice for power washing indoors. The white nozzle, or the 40-degree nozzle, comes with a pressure even lower than the standard green nozzle but still has enough force to clean the surface. It works great for painted and wooden surfaces. It also doesn’t damage more delicate materials like ceramic or tiles. However, avoid pressure washing delicate furniture, caulking, and other surfaces that require more tendered touches than regular surfaces.

A pressure washer is okay to use on epoxy floors and won’t remove the concrete coating if you use a lower pressure setting and the correct nozzle, such as a green, white, or black nozzle, for gentle cleaning. Be careful using a power washer, which adds heat to the pressurized water, because this may be too powerful and could damage the epoxy.

The answer to how often you should pressure wash your house is the same no matter whether your siding is wood, metal, or vinyl. Plan to do a project like this once a year with occasional hand cleanings in between to remove unexpected dirt—like debris from an especially violent storm or droppings from birds flying overhead.
