Preparing for summer parties

You’re planning a July Fourth get-together on your backyard patio, complete with hamburgers, hot dogs, spareribs and homemade ice cream. You’re imagining where the tables and chairs will go, the lights, and the red, white and blue bunting. That’s when you look down to see your patio stained with mold and mildew, moss and algae growing in ever-widening cracks or between the brick pavers.

You look up in disgust, only to see mold and mildew on your home’s siding as well.

You consider renting a power washer, then recall the Great Catastrophe of Summer 2021, when you did it yourself, leaving dark streaks on your patio, damaging your prized Lady of Shalott roses and ripping a shutter off the side of the house.

That’s why you haven’t done it again for five years.

“That’s a great point,” says Pristine Clean founder Ken Wilson. “A power washer in the hands of an amateur typically yields less-than-ideal results and, sometimes, damage to people and property.”

Right now, Ken says, removing winter grime from siding and concrete remains his company’s most popular service. “It was an odd, cold spring, and people are just now saying, ‘Oh, wow, it’s summer!’ And, as you suggest, we’re also getting a lot of calls from homeowners planning backyard graduation and Fourth of July parties.” The company you choose for power washing is important.

Modern equipment, training and experience are keys to safe, high-quality results. Each year during the off-season, Pristine invests in new, state-of-the-art power-washing equipment and updates and expands its fleet of trucks. Plus, Pristine’s experienced technicians understand the nuances of power washing various surfaces and know how to adjust pressure and techniques to avoid damage while achieving optimal results. 

“Training is a huge part of our company culture,” Ken says. “Our techs undergo extensive classroom instruction and an in-the-field apprenticeship before being assigned to any job.”

Less reputable companies might not pay close attention to other aspects of professional power washing that the homeowner cannot see—such as proper insurance coverage.

“We carry full insurance and liability coverage to protect our customers and their property in the event of accidents or damage,” Ken says. “It’s peace of mind for our customers and for us. In our case, accidents are extremely rare because our techs are well trained, experienced and certified by the Power Washers of North America.”

A guy in a truck with a power washer and a business card may also not be compliant with environmental regulations and restrictions related to power washing.

What? There are regulations?

“There are,” Ken laughs. “We use environmentally friendly detergents and disposal methods to minimize negative impacts on our customers’ lawns and landscaping, as well as the broader environment.”

Pristine also offers top-notch customer service, 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. The company also has a dedicated customer service team to ensure each customer’s satisfaction at every stage of the process.

“At the end of the day, power washing is a customer service business,” Ken explains. “That’s why we aim for complete satisfaction. If you’re not completely satisfied, we come back and make it right. When you host your summer party, we want you to be proud of your home.”
