It’s time for pressure washing services if the outside of your house has turned from its original hue to a rainbow of mold and mildew. Mold, mildew, loose paint, and grime may all be eliminated from your house with a powerful jet of water. By restoring your home to its former state, the procedure enhances curb appeal and guards against damage from mold, algae, and other dangerous development.
Although you may buy a pressure washer at your neighborhood hardware shop, it’s advisable to let qualified and experienced service technicians do the task. Inadequate pressure washing can harm your house and necessitate costly repairs, in addition to posing a risk to others and yourself.
Why Choose Professional Pressure Washing?
Although it may seem simple to grab a pressure washer and try to do the task yourself, there’s a reason why experts do the service. For the following reasons, leave your next pressure cleaning task to the professionals:
- Prevent damage: Builders use a variety of materials to build homes, such as wood, metal, glass, and vinyl siding. Your house might sustain harm if you don’t know the right power settings for each material.
- Prevent harm: Pressure washers use high pressure to remove undesirable particles from your house. A pressure washer may hurt you and other people if it is handled improperly.

- Insured professionals: A house is not inexpensive, and Mr. Handyman’s service providers are insured and licensed in case of an unanticipated circumstance. You could have to pay a hefty fee if your do-it-yourself project fails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive about the pressure washing process.
How often should you pressure wash your home?
Although the precise frequency may vary depending on your environment, you should try to pressure wash your house at least once a year. You could require more regular cleanings if you live in a humid region where mold and mildew are likely to proliferate or in a wooded area where pollen is abundant.
What is the difference between power washing and pressure washing?
There is a little distinction between pressure and power washing, although both methods employ powerful jets of water to clean. Power washing employs hot water, whereas pressure washing uses cold water. Only on surfaces that can withstand higher temperatures will power washing be more effective in removing stubborn dirt, grease, and oil stains.
Which areas of the house can be pressure washed?
You may pressure wash a lot of the outside of your house, including the decks, roofs, driveways, walks, and external walls. However, pressure washing windows, doors, and sensitive surfaces like screens or awnings might cause damage. Furthermore, most surfaces may have paint removed by pressure washing, which is not always the desired outcome and might be problematic.
Can pressure washing damage windows or concrete?
Yes, pressure washing can damage windows and concrete. Do not attempt to pressure wash either by yourself. Prevent damage by hiring a professional pressure washing service.
Will pressure washing remove mold or deck paint?
Yes, you can get rid of mold and paint from your deck by pressure washing it. Common causes of pressure washing include mold and mildew, which may prolong the life of your deck, bring back its original look, and stop it from becoming slippery. A pressure washer service is useful if you need to remove flaking paint from a deck in order to refinish or stain it.
