Power washing can harm both your siding and your driveway. If you’re not sure whether power washing is a good fit for your home, you should hire a professional to inspect your home and recommend the best method of cleaning. Depending on the surface, you may also want to consider sandblasting your home. Sandblasting costs $990, on average.
To be sure you hire the best service for your job, you should speak with several professionals in your area. Some questions to ask your potential professional:
Are you bonded?
Do you have general liability coverage and/or worker's compensation?
What are your certifications?
Can you provide references for previous power/pressure projects?
In municipalities where required: What type of water reclamation system will you use
Will you use my water or supply your own? (Make sure they don’t charge you for your water use.)
Can you provide an estimate with line items for soap, labor, equipment, and detail the size of the project? The price should also include labor, time, and size of the area they're going to clean.
Most pressure washing companies use your water when completing a job. However, some companies will bring their own water trucks.
