Five Questions To Ask A Pressure Washing Service Before Hiring Them
We all want the best results with any service or product we place our trust in, for natural reasons. But with power washing or pressure washing services, it’s hard to know for certain the sort of quality you’ll get with a given power washing company before the job is done.
Having said that, though, it doesn’t necessarily need to be. There are certain questions you can ask ahead of time to get a feel for the caliber of job you’ll get by hiring them for the job. Here are the five questions we at Coastal Pros Power Washing recommend you ask before hiring someone to power wash your house, as well as the sorts of answers you should be looking for.
Do you use a soft washing or pressure washing approach?
As we’ve previously discussed, soft washing your house is actually better than pressure washing. But some power washing companies may not see it that way, instead choosing to send bursts of water at your house at high speeds in order to get the job done quicker. Good power washing services will know not to do this and will explain this to you.
How do you protect plants while performing your power washing services?
Every power washer should take care of a property’s plant life while performing a job. That’s just common courtesy. But for those who actually do take this courtesy, you’ll hear something about how they rinse plants twice, once before and once after the job. If someone says they’re just super careful but doesn’t mention a specific plan to look after the plants, your best bet is to look elsewhere for your power washing service.

Are you licensed as a power washer?
Some power washers may not even have thought to go about getting the proper documentation, permits, and licenses. Make sure they’ve got the proper business license and proper insurance in case they get injured while on your property. This will not only protect you and your property but them as well.
Do we need to move items off porches and decks to prepare for the power washing?
As is the case with the plants in your yard, items that may be sitting on your porch or deck should be treated with care before and after a power washing. Unlike with plants, however, most items on your porch or deck can be moved away from the area for a short time and then put back, and that’s exactly what should be done in order to keep them from getting soaked with a power washing solution. Good power washing services will advise you to move everything you do not want to get wet away from the so-called “splash zone” prior to the day of the job.
