Q: Do pressure washing companies use your water?

• <div><p>Yes, most pressure washing companies use your home's water supply, typically from an outdoor spigot. However, some companies can bring their own water in a tank or truck. This is less common and may incur additional costs for filling and hauling the water. It's a good idea to ask a company which method they use when you call for a cost estimate.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to pressure wash my house?

• <div><p>Experts agree that spring and fall are the best times to pressure wash a home's exterior due to the milder weather. Aim to schedule the project once a year during a warm, dry season, typically between March and November, depending on your local climate. Many prefer the spring to clean away dirt and grime that has gathered over the winter, preparing the house for the rest of the year. You can always perform touch-ups in the summer or fall as needed.</p></div>

Q: What is a good or recommended PSI for a pressure washer?

• <div><p>The ideal PSI (pounds per square inch) for a pressure washer depends on the surface you are cleaning. For general home use, a pressure washer with a range of 2,000 to 3,000 PSI is recommended and powerful enough for most residential projects.</p><p>The specific PSI you should use varies by task:</p><ul><li><p><b>High-Pressure Tasks (2,500-3,000 PSI):</b> Tough materials like concrete, stone, masonry, and brick can handle higher pressures. This is suitable for removing stubborn stains from driveways or cleaning graffiti.</p></li><li><p><b>Low-Pressure Tasks (around 600-1,300 PSI):</b> Softer surfaces require a gentler touch to avoid damage. Use a low PSI setting for cleaning wood decks (especially softwoods like pine and cedar), vinyl siding, outdoor furniture, and stucco.</p></li></ul><p>For best results, choose the right nozzle for your surface, such as a 15-degree nozzle for siding or a surface cleaner attachment for driveways. Using an extendable wand can also make the work easier and more ergonomic.</p></div>

Q: How long does professional power washing take?

• <div><p>Generally 1-2 hours, depending on the area and level of dirt accumulation.</p></div>

Q: Can you pressure wash a cartridge filter?

• <div><p>No, pressure washing isn&rsquo;t recommended for cartridge filters. The high pressure can damage the filter paper, and the gentler pressure from a regular garden hose will work to rinse the cartridge filter. If the cartridge is very dirty or has algae or mineral buildup, you can use a muriatic acid solution to soak the filter and remove the buildup. </p></div>

"Not only can I recommend No Grit, No Glory to power wash, etc, he also does painting, and does it well. Summer is a busy time for them, but winter and early spring are slower. Roy and company taped off all around the two rooms being painted, put on two primer coats, and two paint coats. The rooms are cleaned up, and I have a new decor to enjoy. Communication was never an issue. Get on his work list before the summer rush."
