Anytime you work outside, no matter the area, weather plays a huge part in a job well done. Although you can pressure wash during any weather, with the exception of lightening or large storms, but would you want to? The contractor doing the work may not be happy to work in the rain, but to say that it would be impossible is not a true statement.
If you plan on renting the equipment you may want to ask for a waiver in case the weather shifts so you don’t have to pay for the machine sitting idly on the ground. If you rent the machine regularly the rental company may comply. However if you use the machine once a year, he may hesitate to give you a pass due to the weather.
Pressure washers come in many styles and types and depending where you will use it you won’t want a washer that won’t perform. Ask the attendant which pressure washer will be most efficient considering the job. He will probably explain the difference between the washers.
From electric to gas powered the washers range from 1,000 to over 4,000 PSI and the more powerful are gas washers. If you rent the machine often, you may consider buying your own and although the cost would be greater as opposed to renting it. Your choice alone but checking out the different washers before you buy one is good business sense.
Not all jobs require heavy-duty washers. Smaller, easier to use power washers may do the job. If you’re a homeowner and want the washer to clean the entire house, garage floor and/or the driveway and the job needs doing regularly it may be more cost efficient to buy your own washer.
Even if that is true, you may prefer to hire a professional because the pressure washers are difficult to use and require skill. If broken windows follow you as you work your way around the house, a professional will be cheaper in the long run.
A few cautious reminders while using the pressure washer: never stand on a ladder while using the washer; never use bleach as a cleaning solution; after you spray on the cleaner, let it sit before spraying it off; wash windows at an angle, never straight on; test the pressure washer’s power before using; vents, light fixtures and windows break easily, be careful; use cleaning solutions suggested by the manufacturer. Spray horizontally from left to right. Happy Cleaning!
