A Quick Overview of The Pressure Washing Business
Pressure washing, also called power washing, is the process of cleaning surfaces with high-pressure water sprays. It doesn’t require a lot of technical skill. You can effectively clean concrete, wooden decks, aluminum or vinyl siding on houses, sidewalks, and more.
The high-pressure blast removes mold, gum, dirt, and other stains from concrete. It helps wash away fading finishes on wood surfaces and helps keep siding on homes looking new.
