Do pressure washing companies use my water?

<div><p>Yes, pressure washing companies typically use your home’s water supply from the water spigot outside your house. While arrangements can be made with the pressure washing company to supply its own water, it’s very rare. Unless the company is already set up to supply its own water, this will likely incur additional costs for the company to fill a tank and haul it.</p></div>

What’s the difference between pressure washing and power washing?

<div><p>The main difference between pressure washing and power washing is that power washing uses hot water and pressure washing does not. Pressure washing uses only the water from the outside hose connection. Heated power washers tend to cost more and are more commonly used by professionals. Hot water with special cleaners is better suited to more complex or challenging cleaning tasks such as removing grease or oil from a concrete slab. In most cases, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pressure-wash-driveway.htm">pressure washing your driveway</a> should not require heat or powerful cleaners.</p></div>

How much does pressure washing cost?

<div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-pressure-wash-house.htm">cost to pressure wash a house</a> ranges from <b>$100 to $750</b>, depending on the location, size, and height of your house. Power washing, on the other hand, costs from $250 to $400 per project, on average. Other cost factors include the accessibility of some areas of the house.</p></div>

What should not be pressure washed?

<div><p>Avoid pressure washing these items and areas of the house:</p><ul><li><p>Painted or stained decking</p></li><li><p>Composite decking</p></li><li><p>Stucco</p></li><li><p>Painted siding</p></li><li><p>Light fixtures and electrical outlets and panels</p></li><li><p>HVAC units (your air conditioner)</p></li><li><p>Windows</p></li><li><p>Plants and trees</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What can be pressure washed?

<div><p>These <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-parts-house-can-you-pressure-wash.htm">parts of the house are okay to pressure wash</a>:</p><ul><li><p>Natural wood decking that is not stained or painted</p></li><li><p>Siding made of vinyl, aluminum, and cement</p></li><li><p>Concrete</p></li><li><p>Most children’s toys</p></li><li><p>Outdoor furniture</p></li><li><p>Trash cans and recycle bins</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"I recently hired JNLC Home Appeal to pressure wash my house, and it has been a deeply disappointing experience. During the process, they broke two external house vent covers. They initially sent out a repair team who were unable to fix the damage properly. They attempted some temporary fixes and then left without completing the job. Since then, I've made multiple attempts to contact the company for updates or a resolution, but they have completely ignored all my messages and calls. It's incredibly frustrating to be left in the lurch with unresolved damage caused by their service. I would not recommend JNLC Home Appeal to anyone looking for reliable and responsible home services. Their lack of accountability and customer service is unacceptable."

"Thomas M was an excellent technician and did great work fixing all the basement windows around the house. These windows are difficult to find a replacement but he was able to repair and repaint them. The other technician was Pablo He worked on caulking all the windows around the house and he did some filling work on the garage sliding doors You did a good job, but Pablo left his trash around and didn’t pick up after himself so Thomas M and I did that on the third day. It took three days total, but it was two men for two days and one man for a 3/4 of a day actually. Although I’ll probably get charged for a full day, since it went past noon. The labor portion is the most expensive and a little higher than I initially anticipated. So, I was hoping for a quicker turnaround, but overall quality work was completed. I would highly recommend Thomas M as a technician to do future work. He’s very knowledgeable, friendly and does a great job. I would hire again but include more details in the contract language."
