It's time to power wash with Pristine Clean

Mimi Vanderhaven • April 22, 2025

Looking for a power washing company to remove winter grime from your home?

Take some advice from Goldilocks and choose a company that’s ‘just right.’

In addition to siding and concrete, Pristine Clean also cleans roofs, removing unsightly moss and the black streaks known as gloeocapsa magma. 


When it comes to choosing a power washing company, Mimi suggests paying attention to “the Goldilocks Effect,” and selecting one that is not too big, not too small, but just right. 


In the wrong hands, a pressure washer can damage siding, windows, landscaping, and even cause lacerations in flesh. That’s why modern equipment, training, and experience are essential. Many small start-ups and handymen don’t have the experience or the equipment to do the job professionally. 


Conversely, large companies owned by out-of-state private equity firms are often more interested in profits, relying on relentless, high-pressure sales tactics and exaggerated prices to keep the profits coming.


The ”just right” company is locally owned and big enough to have modern equipment and experience, but small enough to still focus on quality service and fair prices.

That’s Pristine Clean.


Company founder Ken Wilson says it best: “We’re different because we’re not some large, slick marketing company posing as power washers. And we’re also not a small, upstart power washing company looking to get experience on your home. We are established, professional, and we’re ready to work.”


Mimi asked Ken what homeowners should look for in a power washing. Here are seven essentials:


1. Experience and Expertise

Professional companies like Pristine Clean have experienced technicians who understand the nuances of power washing various surfaces. They know how to adjust pressure and techniques to avoid damage while achieving optimal results.


2. Quality Equipment

Established companies invest in high-quality equipment regularly maintained for peak performance. This ensures thorough cleaning and reduces the risk of property damage.


3. Insurance and Liability Coverage

Professional companies carry insurance and liability coverage, protecting the customer and their property in case of accidents or damage during the power washing process. This provides peace of mind and financial security.


4. Proven Track Record

 Experienced firms should have a track record of successful projects and satisfied customers. You can check reviews, ask for references, or see examples of their work to gauge their reliability and quality. Pristine Clean, for example, has more than 1,100 Google reviews with a 4.9-star average.


5. Compliance with Regulations

 Companies like Pristine Clean are more likely to be aware of and compliant with environmental regulations and restrictions related to power washing. Their teams use environmentally friendly detergents and disposal methods, minimizing negative impacts on the surroundings.


6. Customer Service and Support

 Professional companies typically offer better customer service and support, including clear communication, prompt responses to inquiries, and assistance with any issues or concerns that may arise before, during, or after the power washing service. And they offer fair, flat-rate pricing instead of leading with an exaggerated price then negotiating when the customer balks.


7. Guarantees and Warranties

A quality power washing company should offer guarantees or warranties for its work, ensuring customer satisfaction and providing recourse in case of unsatisfactory results.

“This is a service business,” Ken concludes. “Success is all about putting people first, and that’s what we do.”
