Power Wash FAQ

Powerwash FAQ

Q: Do I need a professional technician to power wash my deck, home, sidewalk, fence, or driveway?

A: Technically, no. You could rent a power washer from a hardware store, research the details of how to power wash the surface you need to clean, get all the appropriate tips and equipment, set up the power washer, complete the work, and return everything to the store. By why would you, when you can simply hire an experience professional like Essex County Power Wash?

Q: Is power washing environmentally friendly?

A: Yes, and in many cases, it is more environmentally friendly than the alternative cleaning methods. Often, technicians use nothing but water to clean, meaning that there is no harmful runoff or damaging chemicals leeching into the ground. If we determine that a cleanser of some kind is necessary, we choose cleaners that are biodegradable and safe for plants, animals, and humans.

Q: How often should I power wash my home?

A: It depends on the area, the local seasons, and the pollutants close to your specific home, but in general, we recommend power washing in Essex County once a year. Many homeowners like to power wash all elements of their home at once, often in late summer. Since summers in New Jersey are so humid, they increase the odds of mold and mildew forming in various places. Power washing helps remove these fungal invaders, keeping the home cleaner and healthier.

Q: How expensive is power washing?

A: The exact cost, of course, depends on what we will be cleaning, how dirty it is right now, and how long we expect it to take to complete the work. If you are interested in learning more about how power washing can benefit your Essex County home, contact us for a free estimate.
