Default power wash Rent vs Own vs Pay Someone Else

Well, we have been here a year and the house needs washed. Where can we rent a washer to see if we would like to own one or have someone else do it? Or any other opinions on the Power Washing would be appreciated....price of PW, price to have house done, etc. P.S. we do enjoy playing with water outsite, so we might consider this a toy.

Home Depot has a huge rental department at the north end of the store. They have them.

I own a power washer but still pay someone to power wash the house. It doesn't cost much and they have the extensions to reach the top of the house and experience with what is necessary to do the job right.

You see ads in the paper all the time for house power washing from $39-50. Thats the way to go.

I borrowed a PW once..it broke i ended up buying a refurbished one for the one i borrowed......NEVER AGAIN!

Default water

Plus, I forget, I can have just as much fun with water at the pools. I guess in land locked southern Ohio, that was as close to the ocean and pool as I could get...

I've used TLC House Washing. 352-350-7065 He did both of my houses, CYV and Gardenia - about $50-55 each with a discount for 1st time customers.
