I’ll close out with this………while in Florida I did a mystery shopping experience on a pressure washing contractor who posted an advertisement of his services on a telephone pole. I asked him what it would cost to wash a 5100 square foot home…..got a price of $100 for the entire house! I asked him if the chemicals were safe for the plants and shubs, and he proceeded to inform me that he did not use any chemicals……………just cold water!!! I saw another advertisement on a popular site under the services offered section for house washing starting at $19.00 (that’s not a typo)….So be careful. Enjoy your summer.
If you’re a home or business owner then you owe it yourself to carefully consider whom you want to perform your washing needs. In this economy there are those “splash and dash” contractors that have one thing in mind….getting your hard earned money by performing subpar work at ridiculously low rates. When hiring a contractor don’t go by price alone. Make sure that they are insured, and registered with the state. Don’t be afraid to ask them to present proof along with references. We have been contacted by customers that have shared with us there past experiences with contractors whom left them with damage due to inexperience, lack of attention to detail or both. One client informed us that their contractor did not take notice of an open bedroom window, and proceeded to inject water and chemicals into the home causing significant damage. Another customer informed us that their pressure washing contractor etched all the exterior glass resulting in the homeowner to have the windows replaced throughout the entire home!! There are many reputable contractors in the pressure washing business, but there are also the uninsured, unregistered, and those who offer those “to go to be true pricing” quotes, and may leave you behind as an unsatisfied customer.
