Can I Power Wash My House Myself?
It is our top priority to provide the highest quality service to ensure you’re happy.
The Allure of DIY Power Washing
Tempted to grab the power washer and give your house a sparkling clean makeover? You’re not alone! Power washing can be a fast and effective way to remove dirt, grime, and mildew from your home’s exterior, revealing the beauty and charm hiding beneath years of buildup. The satisfaction of a spotless house and the weekend warrior spirit can be strong motivators to tackle this project yourself.
Before You Blast: Weighing the DIY Approach
But before you unleash the high-powered spray, it’s important to consider the responsibility that comes with wielding a power washer. This isn’t your average garden hose – improper use can lead to serious consequences.
Gearing Up and Gunning It: The Essentials of DIY Power Washing
Let’s say you’re determined to DIY. Here’s what you’ll need to ensure a safe and (hopefully) successful power washing experience:
Safety First: Goggles, protective clothing, and a firm understanding of the machine’s operation are non-negotiable.
The Right Equipment: Renting the appropriate power washer with the correct attachments is crucial. Using the wrong pressure or technique can damage your siding, windows, or even injure yourself.
Knowledge is Power: Researching proper cleaning techniques for different types of siding materials is essential to avoid stripping paint or causing permanent damage.
The Pitfalls of Power Washing: When DIY Might Not Be Your Best Bet
Even with the best intentions, DIY power washing can go awry. Here are some potential problems to consider:
Hidden Damage: The high pressure can reveal underlying issues with your siding or paint that you weren’t aware of, leading to costly repairs.
Uneven Results: Without experience, achieving a uniform clean is difficult. Patchy cleaning or accidentally removing paint can leave your house looking worse than before.
Safety Concerns: Power washers are powerful tools, and even a minor slip-up can lead to serious injuries.

April 16, 2024Matthew did an incredible job on our patio! I tried jet washing it myself with huge difficulty & decided to contact Matthew for a quote having seen his Facebook posts. He came over at a time suitable for me for a visit and quote, and booked us in for the service within 2 weeks of my enquiry. Honestly speechless at how fantastic the patio now looks! I'll be outside brushing the leaves off the patio constantly to keep it looking this great now!
