If you notice stains on your roof or siding, power washing provides an excellent fix. The ideal way to remove stubborn streaks, this convenient machine will leave surfaces looking like new. While many homeowners attempt to DIY, however, the results can be harmful and expensive. Since caution is vital, here are three key reasons to hire a professional for your next power washing task.

Safety

DIY

While power washers are available for rent, that doesn’t mean you should. Both the machinery and the process are dangerous, and if you’re tackling a large area without the proper training and experience, serious harm could result. If your exposed skin is touched by the machinery, it could cause piercing pain and a visit to the emergency room. If you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t risk it.

Professionals

A knowledgable contractor is familiar with power washing machinery, along with proper usage techniques. When the job is completed safely and efficiently, you’ll not only notice the results, but you also won’t have to worry about getting hurt in the process. Better still, the pros are licensed and insured, so if an accident does occur, you’re in the clear.

The power washers available for consumer use aren’t usually strong enough for tough jobs. Not only are you putting yourself in danger, but there’s a chance you won’t notice the results, either. When machines are continuously re-rented, they lose their power, and you’ll have to struggle to get out those stains. In this case, you’ll have to hire a professional to eliminate the rest, adding an extra cost.

This powerful equipment can tackle any task, from tough driveway oil stains to dirty siding. Professionals also know the techniques required to eliminate hard-to-beat stains, so you’ll see notably fresher results.

Affordability

Since professional power washing isn’t that expensive, tackling a dangerous job with less-than-perfect machinery usually means you’ll have to hire a professional anyway. Caked-on stains are nearly impossible to eliminate with consumer rentals, so you’ll often spend twice the price for a DIY job. When affordability comes into play, the experts win.

Professionals

Power washing is a relatively low-cost job. While it all depends on the size and scale of the task, this is a relatively easy option to spring for. Professionals will handle the job efficiently, and you won’t need to hire anyone else to fix their work.
