Is Power Washing Residential Properties Too Much

They Just Don’t Get It

Some people actually think that power washing residential properties is just overkill – way too expensive and actually dangerous for the underlying stained or dirty surfaces. They think that sidings of various kinds cannot be safely power washed, let alone pool decks, patios, sidewalks, roofs, and gutters. They think that power washing uses unsafe or dangerous chemicals and equipment or tools that are far too powerful.

They’re just wrong, especially in New Jersey.

Costs and Benefits – For Your Residential Properties

Power washing is actually a critical step to preserve and improve the beauty of your surroundings, while not only maintaining but increasing the value of your property. Sustaining your property’s value represents good stewardship of your assets. But, not only that – let’s face it, a fresh and clean environment improves the most important aspect of all – your quality and enjoyment of life!

In terms of costs and benefits, power washing residential properties is an easy decision to make. Extending the life of your property and all the improvements you’ve made makes dollars and sense. Enjoying the beauty that your home investment provides is one of the finer things in life, especially after all your time and hard work building it!

The specific cost of power washing, of course, will depend on the level of effort and amount of time required to complete your specific job. The quality of your outcome depends upon the expertise of your provider; on the training and development of the crew; on the capability of the power equipment.

How To Pick A Provider

Unfortunately, there are always some providers in any industry who are not up to the task: either their equipment is outdated and potentially unsafe, their staff is not properly trained and could even be a danger to themselves and your property, or their cleansers are not applied in the approved, safe, and appropriate ways.

Ask these questions before hiring a power washing company

Check out this previous article; “What to ask a Power Washing Company” before you choose who will be cleaning your residential property.

That’s why it is important to select your power washing provider with some key considerations in mind. There are 5 things I look at first when I’m selecting any provider for myself or my family and I believe they should be important to you, too:

A Presence In the Industry With A Leading Brand

A good name and trustworthy brand are established over the long haul, by consistently servicing the needs of clients at a fair price. All Clean Exteriors is well known and respected throughout Monmouth County.

A Reputation For Quality Service and Excellent Customer Care

All Clean Exteriors delivers on our industry-leading 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Our work is not complete until you are fully satisfied. Our reputation and standing are built on that promise.

Current Equipment In Ready-To-Go Condition

Older and poorly maintained power washing equipment is one of the leading causes of dissatisfaction and poor results in the industry. All Clean Exteriors takes pride in using only proven equipment and we keep it in tip-top shape – our livelihood depends upon it!

Well-Trained, Capable, Presentable Technicians

All Clean Exteriors service technicians are all thoroughly trained and tested before they are permitted to service our clients. The cliché is doubly true for the power washing industry: our success depends on our people. We take ultimate care in recruiting, developing, and supervising our people. You will be proud to have them service your property.

Demonstrated Professionalism In All Ways

The All Clean Exteriors brand is well-represented by our fleet of clean, late-model vehicles and power cleaning equipment. Our website supports free estimates for all jobs – and we stand by those estimates. Our staff is uniformed, clean, well-groomed, and polite. Most of all, they are skilled technicians whose work is done only when you are satisfied.

Why Does Readiness, Competence, and Reputation Count?

Sometimes, economic conditions push people in need of an income to enter into trying a business that they may not be prepared for. I’ve personally seen this happen with power washing, obviously, but also residential painters, drywall and basic carpentry, roofers, deck builders and others. Power washing seems to attract its share of the unready, mainly because the barriers to entry are so low. Buy or rent some basic equipment, start selling, and it’s off to the races.

That’s what they think, anyway. And that’s when some of those mishaps with damaged surfaces, inappropriate cleansers, and incomplete jobs happen.

All Clean Exteriors recruits, develops and retains our service technicians. That’s what allows us to minimize – or even eliminate – the use of powerful cleansers or chemicals. I have cleaned virtually every type of outdoor surface you can imagine over the course of my career. Gentle cleaning works best.

Your home deserves the same top-quality care that you demand from your other providers.

All Clean Exteriors delivers for you.
