How To Avoid Rip-Offs

Rip-Off #1 : Unbelievably Low Prices.

To some degree, all of us are attracted to low priced because we want to work within a budget. But some power washing companies will use price as bait in order to land the job. They are hoping you are basing your buying decision on price alone and if they are the cheapest, they will get the job. Unfortunately, once they get the job, they have to take shortcuts in order to make a profit. Professional power washing is not as cheap as some unethical power washers would like you to believe. Make sure you are paying for the level of quality you expect.

Rip-Off # 2: “We Will Beat Any Written Estimate”.

Contractors often use these types of slogans to lure the customer. Once they get to your home to start the work, they will cut corners to make up for lost revenue. Sometimes they will talk you into services that you don’t need. These contractors are a sure sign of a FLY-BY NIGHT.

Rip-Off # 3: Crafty claims like: We Use Hot Water or High Pressure.

You may read this in ads, or hear this from contractors. High temperature and high pressure should not be used in every situation. Both can cause damage when not used properly. Hot water is not necessary on residential jobs and many contractors use way too much pressure when cleaning. Too much pressure forces water behind the siding and it will also damage wood. We rely on our cleaners and a soft scrub brush to do the work and we use the right amount of pressure. The result is your property is thoroughly clean and undamaged.
