Make sure the professional pressure washing company is guaranteed! |
But knowing the benefits is only half the battle. Now that you are convinced of the need to hire a pressure washing service contractor, you need to sift through the phone book full of services to find the right one.
Here are some tips for choosing a pressure washing contractor that will leave you happy:
- First of all, you can usually trust word of mouth
references. If you have friends and family nearby that have had a good
experience, ask them who their pressure washing service was. Internet searches
help too. Try to make sure that you get at least 2 positive or negative reviews
before making a decision. Any one can do an occasional good job or have one off
day.
- Once you have a list of a few companies with a good reputation, it's time to make some phone calls. Be sure to ask if the company is properly insured. Not only does this protect your home and family in the case of an accident, but it also shows that the company is professional. Speaking of professional, a good test is to see if the company will give you a quote over the phone. A professional will want to give an estimate in person after looking at the job.
- Experience matters. Ask how long the company has been in business. Also, make sure that the person who will be coming to your home is experienced. A business could be decades old, but send you two new guys who don't know what they are doing yet. New workers have to learn, but they should be paired up with an experienced person.
- Check on the cleaning agents used. A good service should at
least be able to offer you an Eco-friendly alternative if you want one. Some
services now exclusively use “green” cleaning products. It's not only good for
the planet but also safer for your family, pets, and garden.
- Finally, ask if there is a guarantee. You should be happy with the service that you receive. A professional service will be confident enough in their work to provide a guarantee in writing along with the estimate.
Pressure washing is an important part of maintaining your
valuable investment.
By properly vetting the service you choose to use, you can be sure to be happy with the end result.
