Pressure Washing, Colorado Springs

Yes, and we’re not saying that because we’re biased. Power washing requires extensive training in regard to the techniques and safety needed to operate a machine that generates that much pressure. One wrong spray with this high-pressure water, and you could seriously injure yourself, your family, your pets, or your property. In addition, using a power washer to clean roof shingles, cars, and peeling paint requires a fair bit of knowledge to not only ensure the dirt and mold are removed the right way but also to ensure you don’t damage your home.

Not really. The two terms are used interchangeably, as we have throughout this page on pressure washing. Colorado Springs residents can say one or the other, and we’ll know exactly what they mean. If you’d like to get into specifics, some say that the main difference between the two is that industrial pressure washers have the ability to spray heated water, while power washers only spray cold water.

There are a host of benefits that come with pressure washing. The main one? Saving time and effort. The alternative to the pressure washer service is scrubbing your roof shingles, deck, siding, and driveway by hand, and truthfully, scrubbing alone is not enough to rid these outdoor surfaces of ingrained dirt, scum, moss, and mold. Plus, it's extremely time-consuming. Power washers generate a high amount of pressure that efficiently removes these elements with minimal effort on your part. Other benefits of the service include:

• Raising your property value: When your property looks better, it’s worth more. Steps that you take to increase its curb appeal will make it more attractive to potential buyers, meaning that they are more likely willing to pay more.
• Preventing damage: Mold and mildew, when left to their own devices, will wreak havoc on your deck, siding, and possibly your driveway. Removing them will ensure that they do not spread from your deck into your home and cause future damage.
• Getting ready for home makeovers: You should never paint over mold, moss, or dirt. Surfaces need to be properly cleaned before you lay down a coat of paint or stain, which is why this one service is very important for anyone thinking of making over their home.
• Increasing curb appeal: Who wants to sit on a dirty, moldy deck? Whether you can see your deck from your front curb or not, your guests will much prefer to sit on a deck that looks and smells clean.

Thanks to the power washing experts at Mr. Handyman, taking advantage of all of these benefits is no easier than ever. One call will set your property up for success, increasing its value and appeal in just a few short hours.
