Pressure Washing Your Home: When, Why, and How

Howdy GTA neighbours! Let’s talk pressure washing for your home. You’ve probably seen those before and after pictures, right? The transformation is nothing short of amazing. So, why should you consider pressure washing, and how do you go about it? Let’s break it down.

When to Pressure Wash

Timing is everything. Spring is a great time for a fresh start, but really, any season works as long as it’s not freezing out. The goal is to tackle it before your home gets hit by major weather changes, like the intense summer heat or the autumn leaves falling.

Why Pressure Wash?

  1. Boosts Curb Appeal: Instantly improves the look of your home. Whether you’re selling or just want to be the envy of your neighbors, it’s a win.
  2. Maintenance Saves Money: Regular cleaning prevents decay, rot, and premature aging of your house. Think of it as a health check-up for your home.
  3. Health Benefits: Removes mold, mildew, and allergens that can harm your family’s health.

How to Pressure Wash

You’ve got two paths: DIY or hire a pro. Both are good, but each has its place.

  • DIY: Great for smaller jobs or if you’re comfortable handling the equipment. You’ll need a pressure washer, safety gear, and some patience. Start with lower pressure, moving to higher settings as needed. Keep the nozzle moving to avoid damage.
  • Hiring a Professional: If you’re not up for the task, we have the right tools and know-how. We can tackle the job efficiently and safely, without the risk of damaging your home.

Preparation Tips

  • Clear the Area: Move plants, furniture, and any breakables out of the way.
  • Protect Your Plants: Cover them or wet them down to dilute any chemicals.
  • Close Windows and Doors: Keep water and cleaning solutions outside.
