So your home needs to be pressure washed. You don’t own a pressure washer, so you need to either get your own or hire the professionals.
There are pros and cons to each option. Today, however, I’m going to explain why you may be better off hiring the professionals instead of renting or buying your own.
Convenience: Hiring the professionals is convenient. Instead of spending five hours in your yard painstakingly cleaning every corner of your fence, driveway, deck, and sidewalk, you could let the professionals handle it in less time.
Safety: Pressure washing can be dangerous. Every year, thousands of Americans injure their arms, shoulders, and back by improperly holding a pressure washer – say, by using it with one hand or using too much pressure. Professional power washing companies know how to handle the equipment.
Protect your Property: Improper pressure washer usage can cause significant damage to your property. Using too much pressure on brick, for example, can cause brick particles to get washed away. Every year, thousands of Americans shatter their windows by trying to wash them with a pressure washer. Professionals know how to protect your property.
Customizable Pressure for Different Surfaces: Professional pressure washers know that one size does not fit all for pressure washing. A pressure washing company will apply different pressure to different surfaces, customizing pressure to ensure a safe, effective clean with minimal damage.
Fully Licensed, Bonded, and Insured: All reputable pressure washing companies are fully licensed, bonded, and insured. That means these companies are protected against injuries, damage to your property, and damage to their own equipment. As a DIYer, you don’t’ have these same protections.
High-Quality Equipment: When you rent a pressure washer from a store, you’re not typically getting a high-quality unit. The unit may be beat-up or old, for example. It might not do the job right. Good power washing companies have state-of-the-art equipment that can easily wash any surface.
Hire and Forget: You can hire a pressure washing company, watch them wash your property, and then leave. You don’t have to return the unit to your store. You don’t even have to be at your property during the wash. Just hire the company, forget about it, and enjoy a clean property.
Ultimately, renting a pressure washer may be a cheaper option – but there are plenty of downsides as well. Consider hiring a professional pressure washing company to limit the downsides and maximize the benefits the next time your home needs to be pressure washed.
