Here are the 7 reasons to choose a professional power washing company—like Pristine Clean—over an inexperienced start-up

By Mimi Vanderhaven

Power washing has become one of Northeast Ohio’s most popular annual services, including eliminating winter grime from siding, cleaning and sealing concrete surfaces, and making roofs look like new again.

But which company you choose to do the job is important. In the wrong hands, a pressure washer can damage siding, windows, landscaping, and even tear human skin. Modern equipment, training, and experience are essential.

Barriers to entry in the pressure washing industry are low. Anybody with a truck and an old power washer can hang out a shingle. You see their signs everywhere this time of year—stapled to electrical poles and stuck in the ground at intersections.

“I don’t begrudge anyone for trying to get into this business,” says Pristine Clean founder Ken Wilson. “I used to be that guy, too. But after all these years, we’ve learned so much about how to clean homes safely and effectively.”

We asked Ken why relying on a well-established company is better than trusting the job to the proverbial “Chuck in a truck.” He said there are at least seven reasons. Here’s a summary of what they are:

1 Experience and Expertise

Professional companies typically have experienced technicians who understand the nuances of power washing various surfaces. They know how to adjust pressure and techniques to avoid damage while achieving optimal results.

2 Quality Equipment

Established companies invest in high-quality equipment regularly maintained for peak performance. This ensures thorough cleaning and reduces the risk of property damage.

3 Insurance and Liability Coverage

Professional companies carry insurance and liability coverage, protecting the customer and their property in case of accidents or damage during the power washing process. This provides peace of mind and financial security.

4 Proven Track Record

Established companies often have a track record of successful projects and satisfied customers. You can check reviews, ask for references, or see examples of their work to gauge their reliability and quality.

5 Compliance with Regulations

Professional companies are more likely to be aware of and compliant with environmental regulations and restrictions related to power washing. They use environmentally friendly detergents and disposal methods, minimizing negative impacts on the surroundings.

6 Customer Service and Support

Professional companies typically offer better customer service and support, including clear communication, prompt responses to inquiries, and assistance with any issues or concerns that may arise before, during, or after the power washing service.

7 Guarantees and Warranties

Many professional companies offer guarantees or warranties for their work, ensuring customer satisfaction and providing recourse in case of unsatisfactory results.

And Ken concluded, “We love power washing. We’re different because we’re not some large, slick marketing company posing as power washers. And we’re also not a small, upstart power washing company looking to get experience on your home. We are established, professional, and we’re ready to work.”
