Siding Power washing
When considering the options for cleaning and power washing your siding, it’s vital to get in touch with a dependable expert in this field who can customize an accurate cost estimate based on the condition of your home siding as well as other outside factors such as how many windows, porches, doors and other siding structures you have. A general contractor’s charge for power washing and siding cleaning services is usually much lower than what a residential masonry contractor would charge. Pressure washing equipment that is used by residential power washing companies usually comes without a contract of liability and guarantees.
Safety First
Some people wonder if they can safely clean their own siding. There are precautions you should take to ensure you’re not harming yourself or your home while cleaning your siding. If you’ve never done any type of cleaning on your siding before, it’s best to get some instruction and training from a professional siding cleaning and power washing specialist or company. You may be able to learn from a good book or guide, but nothing beats being instructed by an experienced professional.
Pressure Washing
The main component you’ll need to complete a quality job is a pressure washer, a high-pressure water jetting unit, a paint or siding removal tool, a brush, and a pressure washer repair kit. You’ll also need a trowel, a power washer, a bucket, and a power washing bucket in case water gets out of the siding material. Many power washing services employ a truck-mounted pressure washer/repair unit.
Proper Cleaning
It’s essential that your siding material is properly cleaned, especially if it’s been damaged by water leakage or other problems. If your siding has been severely damaged, it may not be possible to clean it without damaging or removing the siding material. This may require that you use a power washing machine on a regular basis. This can easily be achieved by calling around to a few different siding cleaning and power washing companies in your area. They’ll all be able to give you a reasonable estimate as to how often it would take to completely wash and clean your siding materials.
Siding Damage
Depending on the severity of the damage to your siding, you may decide to clean it yourself. Many homeowners do this for weekend projects or when a simple DIY project is needed. However, many homeowners do not have the necessary skill or equipment to safely power-wash their own siding. It’s wise to call around to various siding cleaning and power washing companies in your area before tackling the chore yourself. Make sure that the company you’re hiring has the proper training for cleaning and/or power washing your siding. You don’t want to end up causing more damage than you already had.
