questions to ask a pressure washing company

Questions worth asking before anyone washes the house

Ask what chemical, what surface gets pressure, who is insured, and what they will not promise. A straight company is relieved by those questions.

Ask what is in the tank for the organic growth. The honest answer is a diluted sodium hypochlorite mix with a surfactant. Ask what they do about plants. The honest answer includes water before and water after. Ask whether the roof is pressured. The honest answer is no. Ask whether oil, rust, and clay are the same price as a green wall. The honest answer is no, those are different.

Ask who carries the insurance and whether the person on the property is an employee or a name on a lead list. Ask what happens if paint is already failing. A careful washer tells you a wash can reveal peel. A careless one tells you the house will look new.

Ask what the quote does not include. Glass detail, gutter brightening, sealing, and a lift are the usual extras that appear later if they were vague at the start. We would rather the quote be boring and complete.
