Time and time again, Indianapolis residents and "Weekend Only" companies are creating damage with the use of a pressure washer. A lot of people think that they can refinish their deck by blasting away the old stain off their cedar deck. An hour later, they are left with deep gouges to the wood, and a heavily damaged $8,000 deck.
When it comes to cleaning any wood surface, the combination of low pressure along with the proper chemicals will successfully remove most oil-based deck stains. There is no need to "blast" away dirt and faded stain off a wood deck. By using a low pressure application of a commercial grade deck stripper, followed by a 600-800 PSI rinse, these stains melt from the wood's surface.
Indianapolis homeowners typically use a power washer to wash their vinyl siding or to remove stains from their concrete driveways. But many times, they are using improper and unsafe methods because they believe that the PSI of the machine is actually doing the cleaning. They also use ladders to reach high areas, all while trying to handle a pressure washer in one hand. One slip on a wet ladder could lead to a serious injury or even death.
Very rarely does a professional pressure washing company ever need to get on a ladder to wash a home. Few pressure washing companies in Indianapolis have the the correct equipment to wash the exterior of a home safely and effectively, relying on ladders and the use of high pressure to clean. Do you want the liability of a fall while at your home? Do you want to risk damage to your property or landscaping with the use of a high pressure machine?
If you decide to wash your own home, be very careful and safe. There is more to pressure washing than just hooking up a garden hose to the machine and pulling the trigger. Pressure cleaning by an experienced and professional contractor is both safe and cost efficient - contact us today for a free estimate or to schedule your upcoming project.

Hot Water Concrete Cleaning - Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers
Cement can be one of the most challenging surfaces around a home to clean. Concrete is very porous which allows dirt, tree sap and rust stains to sink deep down making it almost impossible to clean with just soap and water. In order to clean concrete effectively, you must use a commercial grade power washer along with professional grade cleaners. Forget about using off-the-shelf cleaners and the $100 power washer, unless you need an excuse to play in the water for several hours.
Another thing to take into consideration when cleaning concrete is the size of the area to be cleaned and the time needed to cover that area. Typical driveways average 18' x 30' and some are 20' x 80' and larger. That means you could be pressure washing concrete areas between 540 square feet to more than 1600 square feet. Does this still sound like an enjoyable DIY project? Those cheap pressure washers that clean concrete in the neighborhood of one square foot per minute would mean spending 9 hours just to clean an 18' x 30' driveway. Better cancel all your plans for that type of weekend project.
There is a much simpler way for Noblesville, Carmel, and Fishers homeowners to get their driveways, walkways and sidewalks clean; just hire a professional concrete cleaning contractor that is equipped with the proper cleaning equipment and has the experience to do the work right. That would allow you to keep your weekend plans and save your back some long hours in the sun.
