DIY vs. Professional Power Washing in Springboro, OH: What’s the Best Choice for Your Property?

When it comes to cleaning your home’s exterior including siding and gutters, driveway, deck, or business storefront, power washing is one of the most effective ways to restore surfaces to their original beauty. But a common question we hear in Springboro, OH and around the Dayton area is: Should I try to do it myself, or hire a professional power washing company? They typically mention the husband hurting his back or getting older and not wanting to abuse his body dragging a high pressure hose, gun, and unsafe ladder around. Or a woman who knows she doesn’t want to even begin thinking about doing it herself. The great thing about us is we do things safer and less risky, plus we know what we’re doing and have seen thousands of properties.

At Salo’s Pressure Washing LLC, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners and business owners across Springboro, Dayton, Bellbrook, Centerville, Kettering, and Beavercreek make this decision—and the answer, more often than not, is clear.

DIY Power Washing: The Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Lower upfront cost if you already own or rent equipment and have the knowledge to perform without damaging your most valuable asset.
• Flexibility to do the job on your own schedule and perfect day for you all sunshine and rainbows hopefully.

Cons:

• Risk of surface damage: Without proper training, you can etch concrete, strip paint, or ruin siding.
• Inconsistent results due to underpowered equipment or lack of technique. 99% of the time we see a homeowner wash their own property, they aren’t treating the organic growth and it comes right back not even a month after they busted their tail all weekend doing it themselves.
• Safety risks: High-pressure water and ladders don’t mix well without experience. Young or old, it’s a dangerous game trying to save a couple bucks.
• Time-consuming: A job that takes us a few hours can take a homeowner all weekend. Let alone all the time they are missing out on what’s actually most important to them, family, work, relaxing. We have the efficiency to do the job in a flash, without missing a beat. We will be in, and right back out before you even notice. All the while nothing is dirtier than before we got there, and everything is put back in its rightful place. We simply DO CARE just as much, if not more, about the exterior of your property. Our reputation means everything to us, and we don’t assassinate your property trying to get the job over with and on to the next like the service so many people are used to receiving from contractors these days.
