You may think you can pick up a power washer and learn the ropes fairly quickly. Yet, by doing so you could put both yourself and your property at risk.
By their very nature, these machines are powerful and intense. Even the smallest-scale ones are enough to overtake a novice. That said, professional power washing experts are not only accustomed to them, but they use them on a daily basis.
Youâll be placing operations in the hands of licensed and insured experts who are trained on the ins and outs of such tools. Theyâll know how to handle and direct the force and will keep safety top of mind. In the event that a slip-up does occur, theyâll have the means to make it right.

When it comes to power washing, one size doesnât fit all. In other words, the water pressure and temperature you use on one surface might not be ideal for another. For instance, you wouldnât use the same settings to pressure wash a brick home as you would a vinyl siding one or your wooden deck. A professional power washing team will know how to adjust those specifications to protect your surfaces and avoid stripping them of paint and other coatings. This consideration is especially important if youâre power washing your home to prepare it to sell. This is one home renovation you donât want to scrimp on, as an interested buyer will be able to spot missing paint or warped siding before even walking into your front door. The experts will also know how to direct the stream to hit just where it needs to go. That means no spillage onto your plants or other curbside landscaping. |

Theyâll also be able to evaluate your home to determine if they need to adjust their solution to accommodate varying surfaces. This way, you can be confident that the work is done right the first time.

A power washer can use up to four gallons per minute. If you took on the project alone, a majority of that water would likely run off into your yard and neighboring areas. A professional power washing company will be trained in water conservation techniques. While this aspect might not be as significant as other advantages, it goes a long way in reducing the overall impact that your power washing job has on the environment. |

At first thought, you might think you can save a few bucks by renting a power washing machine yourself and tackling the job on your own dime.
Yet, consider how often you plan to use the machine. Is it only once or twice a year? What do you plan to do with it in the meantime?
Consider the maintenance youâll need to perform, the storage space youâll require, and the costs to replace any defunct parts. Now consider the ease of hiring a professional power washing company to come in, take care of the issue, clean up and leave.
Youâre likely to wind up spending less and saving your sanity by going with the experts. Call Schertz Services today to find out more!
Another upside? Theyâll get the job done quicker, so you can get back to living in your home rather than stressing over its appearance.
