Pressure washing your home can be an excellent way to increase curb appeal on a budget. A good pressure washer can be
used to clean vinyl siding, windows, driveways, decks and sidewalks. While it might be an excellent investment to
buy your own pressure washer, there are other options worth considering as well. 

Buying a pressure washer

Should you buy your own pressure washer? The first thing to consider is what exactly you’ll need it for and how often
you’ll use it. If you have a deck, sidewalk, or driveway shaded by trees, you can expect to need it multiple times
per year. 

If you don’t have outdoor features needing regular maintenance, it might be wiser to rent a washer or hire a
professional instead.

Renting a pressure washer

Renting is perfect for a one-time job. Even if you live in a condo complex where things like siding and driveway
maintenance are included in your HOA fees, unexpected messes happen. Renting a pressure washer for a day (or even a
few hours) from your local hardware store can save you time and money while getting the job done.

Hiring a professional pressure washer

Pressure washing is much quicker and more effective than scrubbing manually with a brush. Even so, a complete
pressure washing of your home’s siding, decks, driveway and porch can take more time and effort than many homeowners
want to deal with. To avoid the headache, investigate a local pressure washing company to do the job for you.

Pressure washers are incredibly useful tools for home maintenance, but not every homeowner needs to own one. Keep
your options in mind when tackling your next home maintenance or cleaning project to make the best decision.
