What Are the Benefits of Power Washing Your Bay Area Home?

What Are the Benefits of Power Washing Your Bay Area Home?

Imagine, just for a moment, that after it rains your car looks like it just visited a professional detailing shop. There’s not a sign of a streak, every bit of dust is gone, and only a deep, glassy shine is left behind.

Wouldn’t that be nice?

In reality, we all know that keeping a car clean requires careful, skilled work, and just the right products for each aspect of the process.

The same is really true for your home. And, just like a purposeful washing refreshes and protects your car, it also offers tangible benefits for your property’s exterior surfaces as well.

What Can Professional Power Washing Offer Your Home?

  • A Longer Life for Your Paint - We talked recently about the keys to lasting exterior paint here in the Bay Area. Power washing really deserves a place on that list as well! It’s a relatively simple way to wash away dirt, mold, mildew, and other pollutants that obscure and damage your home’s paint and stain. If you live in a coastal home, corrosive salt residue is also important to proactively remove.
  • A Beautiful Shine - As you can see in the photo above, power washing can uncover healthy, beautiful surfaces.
  • Versatile Applications - In addition to your siding, power washing your deck, patio, walkways, and poolside areas is important too. Not only will these spaces look better, but it also restores traction to walking areas that get slick over time, and can sanitize outdoor kitchen spaces too.

Should You Hire a Professional to Power Wash Your Home?

We recommend it!

Power washing units are readily available to buy or rent, but they are unfortunately often used without the essential knowledge and experience. This not only makes the washing less effective, but it also can be dangerous to you and your home. The intense, powerful stream can certainly harm you, but it also, when improperly used, can damage the surface you’re washing. Many homeowners also spray up under their eaves and too tightly around windows, opening up the risk of water working its way inside.

Customer Reviews

“Matt, Julie & Ricardo, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the three of you for the wonderful job you did in hosting the SFBA NARI Chapter Meeting on Wednesday evening. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Members and guests alike walked away with a truly positive experience. The "painter for a day" and the cookies in the paint cans were an absolute brilliant touch and received rave reviews. What a wonderful way to do such positive marketing. Thanks again for a truly memorable experience for our members and guests. You are valued as a NARI member.”

— Judy Tufo, SFBA NARI Executive Director

“My entire experience with MB Jesse was very professional. The crew were very friendly and super accommodating of my ridiculous schedule and geriatric pets in the house. The finished product, which was pretty much my entire house, far exceeds my expectations. Would definitely work with them again!”

— Heather Jordan

“I want to express my thanks for a job well done. The rooms look great and there is no problem with any marks on the all the trim, floor, carpet, etc. The paint job is lovely. I also want to express my thanks for the level of professionalism the foreman showed in running the job. He was very attentive to any changes I needed to make, was extremely careful in getting the faux paint color and effect correct. Thanks so much for a job well done.”

— Suzan D’Arcy

“Hello Matt,Just another notice of thanks to your wonderful crew, Rigoberto, Javier and John. They did fantastic work, with Rigo providing meticulous and conscientious attention to the details and excellent woodwork finishing, as evidenced by the beautiful fireplace. Javier did a fantastic job in the bathroom especially, it looks "brand new," and John always does quality work, both with the interior and exterior. I can tell they care about what they do. Rigo's "punch out" was very thorough, too. I will call again when I need some more work and will definitely recommend your company and fine crew. I also felt as a homeowner, I could leave my house in their good hands during the day and that took a lot of worry from me, they were honest, prompt and reliable. They were also very kind, respectful and clean in their work, very professional. Thank you.”

“I can't say enough about how courteous and professional my foreman was. He was on time every morning and arrived cheerful and ready to go. He is highly organized and very thoughtful. He was extremely careful and respectful when moving my belongings - a mature professional.”

— Nora Robinson

“I just wanted to send you an email to say that John did such a great job over here today. He is truly a hard worker. He has the perfect balance of friendliness, honesty, and professionalism. I trust him. He takes the time to do the job to the best of his ability and that is what sets him (and your company) apart from the competition. He didn't make me feel rushed. He really made me feel like our job was the most important thing in the world. Thanks again!”

“In all the years I've worked with MB Jessee, I'm always so impressed by your crews. They are so respectful of everything--you never even know they're there! Except that the paint looks amazing when they're gone. We've had one showing of our home and already have an offer. I'm sure it is because the paint looks so beautiful.”

“Awesome work by highly experienced, professional painters. They were: Conscious about the amount of time it would take. Ours had a lot of pre-work and took 3 weeks. Accommodating when we added a few last-minute changes Understanding when a heatwave hit and we remove some of the plastic sheeting over windows, which they had to put back up the next day. Accessible, especially the on-site crew (Hi Jose & Victor!) -- always answering questions and checking in. The end result is a perfect paint job that makes our 94-year-old house look brand new. I would definitely hire MBJ again”
