Pressure washing questions and answers
The questions Brian hears most, answered the way he answers them on a walk-through.
Is it safe for my pets after you spray?
Keep pets inside for at least an hour after the wash. Brian tells you the exact time before he leaves. After a roof wash, pets can usually go back out within an hour.
Can the cleaners damage my landscaping?
They can if the crew is careless, which is why protecting plants is part of every job. Landscaping is soaked with water before any cleaner goes on, one person keeps it watered the whole time, and most bushes are tarped.
How long until I can walk or drive on sealed concrete?
It depends on the sealer and the weather that day. Brian gives you the exact times for foot traffic and for cars before he leaves the property.
Do I pay a deposit?
No. Nothing is paid until the job is finished and you have done a complete walk-around with Brian. He accepts all credit cards, checks and cash. There are no payment plans.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses force and suits driveways, sidewalks and some brick. Soft washing stays at 300 PSI or less and lets the cleaner do the work. It is the right method for roofs, vinyl siding and anything pressure would damage.
Do you use a pressure washer on roofs?
Never. Pressure strips the granules off asphalt shingles. Roofs are soft washed from the ground with no ladders and no pressure.
Is there a warranty?
Roof washing carries a 12-month warranty. If black streaks or organic growth come back inside a year, Brian returns and touches it up at no charge. On any wash, if a spot was missed, he comes back and takes care of it at no extra cost.
Are you insured?
Yes. Meyer Pressure Washing is fully insured up to $2 million for residential and commercial work, and has been BBB accredited since 2020.
Can you wash in winter?
Washing can be done any day the temperature is above freezing. Deck staining and concrete sealing need 40 degrees or warmer. January and February are the slow months, and residential snow removal is available then.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes, for military, police, fire, nurses, seniors 65 and older, and some repeat customers.
Can I see your work before I hire you?
Yes. Brian will take you to a past job with a similar surface so you can see the result and speak with that customer in person.
How fast can you get here?
Usually within a day. In spring and fall, the busy seasons, it can take a day or two to get out for the walk-through.
Have a different question?
Brian answers his phone any time. Call or text and ask.
