Does Your HOA Community Need a Power Wash?

If you are like most HOA administrators in the area, you were probably unable to schedule all the exterior maintenance work that you wanted to do last year. Since there are fewer restrictions than there were in early 2020, more people are paying attention to exterior paint and dirt as they leave their properties this spring. Now is a good time to consider a spring cleaning for your HOA community, including sprucing up the exterior sides of buildings. One simple, quick and affordable solution is pressure washing. At Hughes Painting, our capable and experienced commercial painting contractors provide this service.

What Is a Pressure Wash?

Powered by a motor, a pressure washer is a device that has a pump. It pressurizes water from a hose, and there is a special spraying nozzle that attaches to the hose. When the water hits the side of a building with more force, it helps remove stubborn dirt and debris. In comparison with regular garden hoses and spray nozzles, many pressure washers are at least 30 times more powerful.

It is also important to note that a pressure wash is not the same as a power wash. The key difference is the water temperature. Like a pressure washer, a power washer is a device with a motor and a pump. However, a power washer has a heating coil inside of it that heats the water as it circulates. A regular pressure washer uses cool water to clean surfaces.

In most cases, a pressure wash is sufficient to clean dirt, algae and most types of debris from exterior siding. A power wash is usually recommended when there is oily residue or mold on a harder surface. For example, it may be recommended if there is tough grease.

Benefits for HOAs

As someone who makes decisions about maintaining and improving the appearance of your HOA community, there are some important advantages of working with a professional painting contractor for a pressure wash. First, a pressure wash is an excellent choice for your budget. If you were to purchase a high-quality pressure washer and pay maintenance staff or a handyman to use it, you would pay more than you would to hire a professional company that already has the equipment. Also, the ROI is excellent when you consider the value in relation to resident fees.

Also, you do not take as many risks when you work with a professional company. Commercial painting companies insure their tradespeople. This means that you do not have to worry about possibly dealing with worker’s compensation issues. When you combine the cost benefit and the reduced risks, it makes a pressure wash a valuable part of your overall maintenance strategy.

Residents are also likely to be happy with your decision. Since a pressure wash is an effective way to clean a home’s exterior, it does not take as long to complete the job. Because of this, any disruptions or inconveniences are minimal.

Today, environmental responsibility is something that most homeowners are concerned about, and it is something that HOA administrators must prioritize. You and your residents will also be happy to know that a pressure washer is more environmentally friendly. In comparison with a standard hose and spray nozzle, it uses about one-fifth as much water. When you combine this with the time-saving benefit, the water-saving benefit is more significant.

Both current residents and potential residents can appreciate your decision to schedule a pressure wash as a demonstration of care for the property. Diligence and care go a long way in turning new residents into long-term community members. You can boost curb appeal, make residents feel more comfortable and help everyone enjoy the community a little more by keeping it looking clean and beautiful. You also send another message that is especially important today, which is that sanitation is important. Cleaning the exterior can give residents more confidence that you are committed to maintaining a sanitary community.

Another benefit of working with a professional painting contractor is that you have someone you can trust to give you good advice. If a pressure wash is not ideal for your situation, a professional will tell you. In some cases, it may be time for a fresh coat of paint. If this is the case, working with a professional painting company means that you work with a business that understands the unique needs of HOAs.
