Hiring a Professional Power Washing company isn’t as expensive as some may think.

Vinyl siding is the most popular type of siding in America, and it just so happens to be the cheapest to clean. Stucco is the most expensive type of siding to clean. According to a 2022 nationwide database of power washing quotes, the average cost in the United States to power wash a house is around $500. Don't let the cost deter you from keeping your house looking beautiful – power washing is worth it.

At Simple Clean LLC Power Washing Services, we understand that every property is different and that pricing may vary depending on factors such as landscape obstacles, building additions, extended garages, walk-out basements, 3-story fronts or backs, ease of access, and exterior surface types. We believe that pricing should be based on the scope of the work we are hired to complete and we are committed to providing our customers with the best possible value for their money.

If you're not happy with the appearance of your vinyl siding, stucco, brick, or fiber cement board, you might be wondering what to do. Power washing your house can improve curb appeal and extend the life of your siding while maintaining the value of your home. Pressure washing your house is a smart investment.



Why you should NOT attempt to do the job yourself..

Homeowners who attempt to power wash their own home are at a high risk of damaging their property. Power washing requires a lot of skill and knowledge to do correctly, so it's best to leave it to the professionals. Not only will they be able to get the job done quickly and efficiently, but they'll also be able to avoid any potential damage to your home. Furthermore, using high pressure on painted surfaces can damage the paint. High pressure is extremely dangerous as it can easily lead to injuries, knocking you off a ladder, and breaking window seals.

Many homeowners are disappointed with the results of their pressure washing projects because they didn't realize how difficult and time-consuming the task would be. Worse yet, some homeowners hire a company to pressure wash their home, only to have the siding damaged in the process. This can end up costing the homeowner a lot of money. A lot of damage is caused by cleaning contractors who don't have a good understanding of the surfaces they're supposed to be cleaning. We're getting more and more calls from clients who are paying hundreds of dollars every year to keep their siding clean.
 

It's important to keep in mind that high pressure washing can cause serious damage to your siding. We've seen countless examples of this kind of damage, usually because inexperienced homeowners try to do it themselves or because new companies don't know the correct procedure. In some cases, we've even been hired to repair damage caused by companies that have been in business for a long time. So, be careful when choosing a company to wash your siding.

The idea behind high pressure cleaning is to remove organic debris from the surface. However, what actually happens is that the top surface of the siding is being etched and removed, causing major damage and unsightly marks on the exterior of your house. While it may appear that high pressure cleans the siding, the algae spores are only moved around and will return within a few months, resulting in more frequent "cleanings" year after year, which means way bigger profits for the same company you’re hiring to incorrectly perform the services.
