Q: What is the life expectancy of a pressure washer?

• <div><p>The life expectancy of a pressure washer depends on the model, its overall quality, and how well it is maintained. Most pressure washers have a life expectancy rating, typically measured in hours of use. Many models are rated for up to 500 hours, which can translate to a lifespan of around 10 years for a homeowner who uses the machine for about 50 hours per year. If you plan on using your pressure washer regularly, you may want to look for a higher-quality model rated for 2,000 hours or more.</p></div>

Q: Does acid wash change brick color?

• <div><p>Yes, acid washing can change the appearance of the original <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-stain-colors.htm">brick stain color</a>. It removes dirt, and efflorescence, often revealing the brick's original color and restoring its natural beauty. However, if not done carefully, it can also cause slight variations in color due to the cleaning process. </p></div>

Q: Can I just rinse my solar panels?

• <div><p>You can rinse your solar panels in some cases. For example, periodically rinsing your solar panels can remove light debris if you live in an agricultural or dusty area. Light dust and dirt won&rsquo;t affect efficiency much, but they can build up and mix with other debris like animal droppings, leaves, and small sticks. </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: 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>

They were friendly and seemed to know their business, but they were extremely unreliable, postponing the work and making lame excuses, or not showing up. I finally terminated the work after they did about 1/6 of the pressure washing, but lost the whole deposit.

"I hired Cody for so many projects! He painted my roof, the outside of my house, detailed work inside. He re-glazed my windows, sanded and painted my ceilings, repainted my radiators, and more. His work is perfect and detailed oriented. He also staged my house painting over the course of the summer in order to make it easy for me to pay for it. Cody is also extremely polite and pleasant to be around. I highly recommend him."
