Pressure Washing, Rent, Buy or Hire Someone?
One of the troubling questions you will ask yourself is should I rent or buy a pressure washer this summer or hire a company in Marietta to do it for me?
When you get your income tax return or stimulus check, you might have some extra money, but should you buy or rent a pressure washer with it? Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of hiring someone to do it versus renting or buying.
Should I Rent a Pressure Washer?
Renting any tool usually doesn’t make sense. You’ll have to learn how to use it. For instance, what pressure is right for which jobs, how far away from specific items like siding or roofing should I hold the nozzle? Should I pressure wash a roof? Not if it’s asphalt. Which soaps or detergents can I use safely?
By the time you figure all that out, it’s time to take it back.
Should I Buy a Pressure Washer?
If you buy a pressure washing machine, chances are it will wind up in the garage, under a tarp or collecting dust like the treadmill you spent your tax return on two years ago. Similar to all those garden tools you bought last year before you hired a landscaper.
Sometimes, we have excellent intentions, but it’s often better to use professionals who know how to use these gadgets. There’s usually a world of difference between a professional job and a DIY.
As your friend said, “You’ll save money if you buy one and use it yourself. The question is, will you use it?”
If you use it, what’s the trade-off? What will suffer from you spending your time pressure washing your siding, driveway, deck and other tasks that need an annual cleaning?
