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

“In September, MBJessee finished painting two sides of our 3-story condominium building (six owners). We were impressed by the professionalism of the company and every one of its workers, Matt Jessee couldn't have been more helpful in planning the project. His painters were well-trained, easy to communicate with and eager to please. In addition to painting the stucco, they made extensive repairs on windows and frames, which will save us considerable money in the future. They finished earlier than anticipated, with as many as five men working on the job, and the scaffolding came down the next day. All of us were delighted with the results. Now my husband and I are looking forward to having MB Jessee paint our own apartment later this month. Matt and Gustavo (who will be our crew leader again) have explained how they will work to make the painting proceed smoothly while we're living here, and they have been endlessly patient with our protracted decision-making process. If you look at their website, you'll learn that MB Jessee is an exemplary company that takes good care of its workers as well as its customers, and contributes public service projects to the community. All in all, we can't recommend MB Jessee highly enough.”

“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.”

“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

“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.”

“Everyone I dealt with was nice, helpful, and very professional. The price was reasonable! (I didn't feel like I was getting the "San Francisco price." The attention to detail and work quality was excellent. They did what they said they would do in the exact timeframe they said they would do. Highly recommend!”

— Tim Tyson

“MB Jessee painters are stellar! As a designer I've worked with numerous companies over the years, and MB Jessee is a top-notch firm. From the first phone call to the final clean up, every person is courteous, professional, and hard working. The owner, Matt, is a charitable leader who has instilled his team with integrity and honesty providing the customer with a first class experience at a fair price with a paint job that is guaranteed to last. I highly recommend MB Jessee. Thank you Matt and your STAR crew-Daniel, Rigoberto, Vicente, Edy, Pedro, and Mario, for a job well executed! Cynthia Brian, ASID, Starstyle® Productions, llc”

“Richard and crew have been great, for sure. As much as I look forward to having the job done and my house back in order, I really enjoyed having them around. You should feel really good about how they represent your company.”

— Jessica Dodson

“Our paint crew did a great job and the foreman, Gersson was exceptionally great to work with. He was always available to answer questions, good at problem-solving, very patient, kind, and highly professional with great customer service. We definitely recommend this company, and Gersson and his crew.”

— Andrea Y.

“I loved working with M.B. Jessee from start to finish on a relatively small paint job that grew a bit. I felt in very good hands from the moment Matt Jessee came out to give me the estimate and talk about my job. He was very easy to talk to and he handled my changes very well. Then the actual work done by Rigoberto and Mario was impeccable. They were neat and meticulous and the paint job looks beautiful. I could not have asked for more and when I did, they accommodated me 100%. I will not hesitate to call M.B. Jessee again and to refer them to friends.”
