While some home repair tasks are best left to experts, others are better suited to the do-it-yourself crowd. If you’ve just done a little research on pressure washing, you know you can do it yourself or hire a professional service. There are many factors to take into account, from price to job quality, and both solutions offer a list of pros and cons. Let’s take a look at the differences you can expect from a professional pressure-washing company such as Innovative Cleaning Services versus DIY.
DIY Pressure Washing
PROS
Renting a power washer is rather affordable per day. This is a great option for smaller areas that need a little sprucing up. However, you can also opt to pressure wash your home yourself. This allows you complete control over how the project will go and turn out. While this is an affordable option, there are some cons that you should consider.
CONS
Pressure washing your home can be time-consuming and even dangerous. For instance, a normal home has a great deal of hard-to-reach areas that are challenging to clean with a regular pressure washer. In this case, your first instinct will likely be to grab a ladder. Although it makes sense, there is a substantial risk of harm due to the wand’s intense pressure. You could also do damage to your home’s exterior due to this pressure.
A misconception is that doing it yourself will save you some money. While this can be true for small areas requiring little work or effort, it can be pretty costly. You will need to rent or purchase a pressure washer and cleaning agents, proper wands, tips, and other supplies. It will take you at least a day or so to complete the job, as you don’t have professional equipment or training, making it a much longer process than if you would hire a professional.
Furthermore, without the proper knowledge and equipment, you might not get the outcome you are expecting. If done incorrectly, you could damage the siding or roof of your home, adding more costs to the overall project.

As was already said, a typical residential pressure washer won’t be able to efficiently clean difficult areas of your property or reach high places. On the other hand, as a skilled power washing business, we are equipped with the tools and know-how to properly clean your entire house.
CONS
There aren’t too many cons to hiring a professional pressure washer. Many might think that the cost factor is a con. However, once you add up all the costs of renting, you’ll quickly realize that it’s not that big. In fact, most people that set out to do their pressure washing quickly realize that they are ill-equipped and the cost of everything is far greater than expected.
You will want to take your time to hire a professional pressure washer and not just some guy with a pressure washer and a truck. Be sure that you look into the company and what others have to say about it. Take your time to research who you hire, to ensure they are, in fact, covered by insurance should something go wrong. While there are many pressure washing companies in the Phoenix area, you want a company you can depend on that won’t break the bank and offers you reliable service.
