Why Pressure Washing Isn’t a DIY Job — Especially on the Coast

Pressure washing looks simple — just spray and walk away, right?

Not exactly. Especially not if you live near the ocean, where salt air, algae, mold, and moisture create a unique set of problems for coastal homes.

⚠️ The Dangers of DIY Pressure Washing

If you’re not using the right pressure, nozzle, or chemicals, you can:

• Strip paint from siding

• Shatter windows

• Damage seals, vents, or electrical boxes

• Force water behind your siding or roof

This isn’t just about looks — it’s about preserving the integrity of your home.

🌊 Coastal Conditions Make It Worse

Coastal moisture breeds faster mildew growth. Salt settles into crevices and speeds up deterioration. DIY equipment (or contractors using cheap gear) won’t solve the problem — they can actually seal it in.

We’ve seen it happen.

🧠 What Professional Pressure Washing Does Differently

At Home Services Express, we:

• Pre-inspect all surfaces

• Use surface-specific nozzles and PSI

• Apply eco-safe detergents that kill mold and neutralize salt

• Rinse and seal with zero residue or streaking

It’s not just pressure washing. It’s precision cleaning backed by experience.

✅ The Takeaway

If you want your property cleaned, protected, and preserved — leave the pressure to the pros.

We get it right the first time, every time. Because your home deserves better.
