Should I rent or buy a pressure washer from the home improvement center and save money?

Although you can rent or purchase pressure washers, typically only cold water residential machines are available through these outlets.

Also consider the following:

TRANSPORTATION

These heavy and awkward machines must be signed for, picked up, loaded and transported to your home before work can even begin. They must be moved frequently around your home, along with their accessories, like hoses, brushes, buckets, ladders, etc.

COST

Without insurance, the typical cost to rent one of the cold pressure washers is around $90 per day. Of course, if you add insurance, fuel, and other supplies that you will need, your cost goes up considerably from there.

FAILURE RATES

These cold water machines, for the most part, are not maintained properly. This can cause many problems like hard starts, no starts, leaking hoses, breakdowns, etc.

FUEL

These machines typically don’t hold enough fuel to clean your entire house without the need for refueling adding more cost and time to the equation.

SOAPS AND DETERGENTS

Even the best store bought house wash detergents will not provide the same cleaning power as those made available to a professional in the industry. Also, if your machine allows detergent to be applied through it, most likely, it will not have the power to reach past the first story. This means the upper stories will need to be washed while working dangerously from a ladder.

Aren’t all pressure washing companies the same?
Shouldn’t I hire the contractor with the lowest price?

No, not all pressure washing companies are alike. Cheaper prices don’t always add up to the best value.

Consider the following:

SKILL LEVEL & EXPERIENCE

A true professional will have plenty of hands on experience with commercial power washers (these cannot be bought at the home improvement center) and will be well informed in all aspects of residential pressure washing. They will have knowledge of proper chemical usage, appropriate application methods, water pressure and environmental regulations. Also, a professional will always inspect the home before washing for any potential problems that could be encountered during the wash process.

EQUIPMENT

A professional power washing company will have modern and well maintained equipment to ensure trouble free washing. A professional will also use commercial grade equipment rather than residential equipment purchased from the home improvement center. In most cases, a pressure washing professional will also have the ability to provide steam cleaning though the use of a hot water commercial grade pressure washer.

INSURANCE AND LIABILITY

A company worthy of doing business with will stand behind their work and will be happy to provide certificates providing insurance and workman’s compensation insurance coverage if requested.

Why should I have my house steam cleaned and not simply cold water washed? What is the difference?

Although some cold water pressure washers do have the ability to remove some dirt and mildew, most merely wet the surface. Due to the lack of cleaning ability, the use of much harsher chemicals and more direct water pressure to the house exterior is required. On the other hand, the use of steam when cleaning is well known for its ability to cleanse and disinfect on its own. This, combined with the use of professional and biodegradable house wash detergents, will remove dirt, mildew, mold spores, oxidation and other environmental contaminants. This allows for the use of less chemicals, less water and less pressure to wash your house exterior reducing the risk of any damage to your home.
