Experienced house painters will tell you that removing old paint is the toughest part of their job. Scraping, scrubbing, sanding, and otherwise peeling old paint from surfaces is tiring and time-consuming and if they’re going to lose money on a job it’s likely because paint removal took much longer than expected. But even if you’re not a pro and you want to repaint your South Huntington porch paint removal will present a significant obstacle to overcome. Unless you have the professionals (like our team) remove the old paint for you via pressure washing.
Why Pressure Washing Is the Best Method of Paint Removal
Pressure washers are powerful machines that are used to clean driveways, remove graffiti, restore patios to their former glory, and more. They shoot water out a nozzle under tremendous pressure that blasts away unwanted dirt, debris, paint, oil, and more without damaging the base material.
Power washing has revolutionized the business of outdoor cleaning reducing cleaning times, lowering costs, eliminating the need to use harsh chemicals or detergents, and making the job of the exterior cleaner safer. So it should not be surprising that painters, commercial property owners, and homeowners have all turned to pressure washing services to expedite the painting process.
Can Power Washing Remove Paint from Any Surface?
While the pressure washing experts at Majestic can effectively remove paint from many surfaces using a power wash machine – including wood, concrete metal, etc. – there are some surfaces where this equipment is not recommended. Glass, plastic, old mortar, and asphalt for instance are not good candidates for power washing. Also, this equipment cannot be used indoors.
Can I Rent Equipment and Do the Job Myself?
You certainly have the right to do that as many home centers will rent power washing equipment to just about any adult. However, this type of equipment should never be wielded by the inexperienced. Because of the water pressure involved, it is all too easy to make a mistake and cause damage to a surface.
The technicians from Majestic have all undergone extensive training with the equipment before they are ever allowed to work on a customer’s property. The training happens both in our workshop and on the job where they observe experienced pressure washers before being able to wield the equipment themselves.
But that’s not the only reason to hire professional pressure washing services. Pros are also fully insured. So in the unlikely event of an accident, the customer is not left picking up the repair tab.
