Here it comes, the greatest tip you will ever here about exterior cleaning and maintenance around the home. Hire a professional pressure washing contractor and hire the right contractor. I know you are thinking that I am a contractor or that I’m promoting one. Well think again.
I am a homeowner that has been burned by rip off contractors and so have some of my neighbors. We normally spot these contractors from a mile away but this last time I was so tempted by his low price that I gave in and I paid for it. Pressure washing is no big deal right? Wrong! Someone can really screw up your home if they are inexperienced.
This pressure washing guy used way to much pressure on our house. He did so because he did not have any house cleaners and he though pressure was how you cleaned stuff. Everything looked fine at first but once the pressure washing job was done, and the house dried, we noticed marks all over the vinyl siding from where the pressure washing guy got to close.
It looked horrible, like little swirl marks. He said they were known as wand marks and that it happens sometimes. So he knew that much pressure could damage my siding. I was so mad, I thought about suing him but he had nothing and he was not insured either. Over time the marks have faded somewhat and now we pay a little more and have a professional pressure washing company wash our house.
