Questions before the visit.
These answers help you plan a conversation about pressure washing. Confirm the scope with the business before booking.
Do you wash building exteriors?
Discuss siding or masonry condition, height and access first. Some materials require a different method or should not be pressure washed.
Do I need to supply water?
Confirm the available water source, permission to use it and hose access before scheduling.
How is runoff handled?
Ask about containment, drainage and disposal under local requirements. Do not assume wash water may enter a street drain.
Can you clean old brick?
Fragile brick and mortar may be damaged by pressure. Ask about inspection, test areas and gentler options.
What should I move first?
Clear movable furniture and fragile objects. Ask how plants, outlets, doors and windows will be protected.
Will every mark disappear?
Surface damage, rust and embedded staining may remain. Discuss limits and any proposed products before work.
Do I need to be home?
Agree on access, water permission, closed windows and a contact person for questions during work.
Can you work from the sidewalk?
Building rules, pedestrian protection, permits and public access may affect the plan.
