Default Power washing

The last two power washers I've used left us with chipped tiles on the roof and loose clapboards. Is there a PW company that will use varying PSI adjustments to clean our home AND clean up after themselves?
Thank you again

We have a 1692 sq ft Villa and every 6 months we use Mold Armor on the vinyl siding. Simple to do. Buy the dispenser with the hose end sprayer (shoots up 20 foot to the peak $6.50) and a 1/2 gallon refill container (8.50). This does the whole house. Spray it on, let sit 5 minutes and rinse it off. I have used it about 4 times now and it removes any Mold and Dirt where ever it contacts. The sprayer is a ONE TIME BUY and refill it with the 1/2 gallon refill container. The pressure is only what comes out of you hose bib. Great Product, simple to use and inexpensive. I would imagine others use this product as well?

Thanks for the suggestion. I often wash these high pressure machines
beating the heck of the houses and knew there had to be a better way.
again thanks

We've always used Egners, we think they do a good job.
There are previous threads on power washing with other suggestions.

Egners is great and reasonably priced.
They have never damaged anything and my house looks like new when they are done.

We've used "A Through Clean Home Washing Service" - David - 352-255-4395 athoroughclean@embarqmail.com a number of times and will use him again. Had no problems. Talk to him, or whom ever you might contact about you pressure concerns.

p.s. David also power washes driveways!

Thanks for the tip...I'm going to give it a try. Where did you buy Mold Armor?

Default Mold Armor at Home Depot

Philnpat- You can buy the Mold Armor at Home Depot (that's where I buy it) but I do believe it is also available at Lowe's. It does a Great Job.

the mold armor sounds great but due to recent heart problems my other half is ready to lock up my hose and ladder. I did call Edners and told them that I'm expecting the amazing results talked about on Talk Of The Villages.
Thank you all

I will use the mold armor on our outside furniture though
