What is power washing? Power washing is the act of using pressurized water to clean dirt, algae, and other contaminants from outdoor surfaces. A power washer, otherwise known as a pressure washer, is the powered machine that makes cleaning the surface possible. Methods can vary depending on the machine being used, the surface that’s being cleaned, and the person performing the work. In this post, we will further define power washing and the common methods used to clean surfaces. Read on to learn about the differences between power washing and pressure washing, and why high-pressure and soft washing are used in different circumstances.
Well, using good quality paint is important, but the fact of the matter is that cost of paint material constitutes less than 10% of the total job cost. Most of the job is labor. That is, over 90%, of what they will be paying for, will go to paying for painters time doing actual work. And a very big chunk of that time, and what is going to largely determine how well this paint will look over time (no matter the paint manufacturer), will be spent (at least on my jobs) doing service preparation. And yet not so many questions about that.
