This is No Job for a Child

Powerwashing is no job for a child, especially if you want your house to look like the second photograph… anyway we are back at it again. Over the next few weeks we will be uploading some pictures for our 2011 portfolio before we start up again in 2012. If you would like to see additional pictures just click on the portfolio link to the right. Our Pressure Washer Our trailer contains a hot/cold pressure washing machine as well as a 500 gallon water tank for those of you that do not have access to water. If you choose to hire a pressure washing contractor they should have a similar looking tank and machine. If they do not you may have not hired the right contractor. The most important aspect and what makes our pressure washer different from those that are generally rented at a hardware store is the water temperature. Most commercial grade pressure washing machines have the ability to heat water up to 250 degrees to remove those tough stains that may require heat to dissolve like oil spills.

We offer pressure washing, powerwashing, window cleaning and graffiti removal in the Greater Philadelphia area. To learn more about how to pressure wash please visit our...
