We get it. Sometimes it’s tempting to tackle a project on your own. Usually, this is done to save a few bucks. However, in the case of pressure washing, it might not be the best bet. Sure we’re admittedly biased in this opinion, but we hope that after reading this guide you too will see the benefits of hiring a pro.
Pressure washers can be bought or rented, easily, and with the Internet to show you videos on the process, it may seem like you can perform pressure washing on your own, but in the end, you’ll probably get a much better result, faster, and safer, by hiring someone that does this for a living.
Why Pressure Wash in the First Place?
Pressure washing can help keep your siding and other surfaces free of:
- Debris and dirt
- Mold and mildew
- Algae and moss growth
- And more…
It can also wash off pesticides, and acidic and corrosive pollutants from the air (such as exhaust) that may cause damage, discoloration or staining over time. If you want to keep surfaces such as walkways, patios, decking, driveways, siding, fencing and more looking and performing like new, then regular pressure washing is a must.

When you hire a professional pressure washer, you can rest easy knowing that the right tools and techniques will be utilized to both clean and protect your surfaces.
A Few Key Reasons Why Hiring A Pro vs Going the DIY Route Makes the Most Sense:
- Better and More Thorough Results – Although you can find a number of cleaning solutions on the Internet, you will quickly find that not all methods are created equally or equally usable for each type of surface. Using the wrong solution on the wrong surface may leave behind residue, fail to remove surface stains and debris, or worse, damage the surface.
- Reliable Results and Reduced Risk of Damage – Where you aim your washer, how close it is to the surface you intend to clean, and the settings you use all play an important role in achieving an optimal outcome. To avoid washing out beautiful landscaping or blasting away vinyl siding, let the professionals handle your project.
- Safety – Pressure washers use a concentrated stream of water at hot temperatures. It can be easy to lose control of the device, slip, and fall on wet surfaces, or encounter other hazards.
- Save Time and Money – Sure, the cost of a professional pressure wash may seem expensive, but there are other considerations when you do it yourself. Damage to your home, potential injuries, time, and investing in and maintaining your own equipment are all expenses and considerations you should weigh.
- Water Conservation – If you hook up your own pressure washer and do the project yourself, you are likely to be less efficient than someone who does it for a living. Four gallons a minute run through the average pressure washer, and that can equal a lot of wasted water!
As you can see above, there are many things that can make a “do-it-yourself” job turn into a big hassle. Call the professionals to get the cleaning done right the first time and remove any risk to yourself!
