Get matched with top pressure washers in Springfield, VT

It takes about 15 minutes per each side of an exterior house to apply detergent and 15 minutes to remove it, so you’ll need roughly two hours for the whole job. However, that length of time may decrease or increase depending on the size of your home, so always budget a little more than expected to ensure you don’t end up rushing to get it done.

When hiring a professional to pressure wash your home, it's crucial to choose a company that is bonded, licensed, and insured. This protects you from liability if any accidents or property damage occur during the service; otherwise, the cost could fall on you. Before making a decision, vet at least three different contractors. Conduct thorough research by reading customer reviews, looking at examples of their previous work, and verifying the company's license. Before signing a contract, ensure you receive a written estimate that details all project costs. It's also wise to ask potential contractors a series of questions to gauge their professionalism and experience, such as:

• How many years of experience do you have?

• What are your credentials?

• What cleaning methods do you use?

• Do you have a workmanship warranty and insurance?

• What is your availability?

• What is your policy if you damage my property?

• How long will the job take to complete?

• How much do you charge?

• What is your cancellation policy?

• Do you offer a customer satisfaction guarantee or any additional services?

Always wear protective gear, including a mask, gloves, and eye goggles, whenever you’re dealing with high-pressure cleaning or cleaning with chemicals. But even if you’re just using plain water with your jet washer, don some gear to avoid splashing—especially from the hot water of a power washer—or any particles of dirt or debris that might fly off the surface as you clean it.

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.
