If the answer is yes to either question, know that these dark areas can be more than the difference between a beautiful home and an unsightly house.

Those stains — a build up of grime and possibly harmful elements — can cause expensive damage and cause health concerns.

Such contaminants need to be pressure washed away sooner rather than later.

Did You Know?

On July 4, 1776, the thirteen original colonies claimed their independence from England. This event eventually led to the formation of the United States. The colonies and England had already been at odds for a year when the colonies convened a Continental Congress. In a June 7, 1776 session in the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented this resolution:

“Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”

What Happened Next

What happened next was the drafting of a statement. This “statement” presented to the world the colonies’ case for independence. Members of the committee included John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. Jefferson drafted the actual document — The Declaration of Independence.

On July 1, 1776, the Continental Congress reconvened, then on the following day, the resolution for independence was adopted by 12 of the 13 colonies. The process of revision continued through all of July 3 and into the late afternoon of July 4, when the Declaration was officially adopted. Today, the original copy of the Declaration is housed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth date of American independence. The tradition of it being a patriotic celebration became even more widespread after The War of 1812. In this war, the United States again faced Great Britain. In 1870, the U.S. Congress made July 4th an unpaid federal holiday, then in 1938 it became a paid holiday.

More Facts About Independence Day

  1. The Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 men from 13 colonies. Each could have been tried for treason had the revolution failed, losing their lives and their family property.
  2. Only John Hancock actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. All the others signed later.
  3. The average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was 45. The youngest was Thomas Lynch, Jr (27) of South Carolina. The oldest delegate was Benjamin Franklin (70) of Pennsylvania. The lead author, Thomas Jefferson, was 33.
  4. The only two signers of the Declaration of Independence who later served as President of the United States were John Adams and Jefferson.
  5. The stars on the original American flag were in a circle so all the Colonies would appear equal.
  6. The first Independence Day celebration took place in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776. This was also the day that the Declaration of Independence was first read in public after people were summoned by the ringing of the Liberty Bell.
  7. Every 4th of July, the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is tapped (not actually rung) thirteen times in honor of the original thirteen colonies.
  8. Presidents John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe all died on July 4th. Adams and Jefferson (both signed the Declaration) died on the same day within hours of each other in 1826.
  9. In 1776, there were 2.5 million people living in the new nation. Today the population of the U.S.A. is 326 million.
  10. More than 250 million pounds of fireworks will go up in smoke on July 4, 2019.

Hire a Pressure Washing Company Because…

Hire a Pressure Washing Company Because…

Below are a list of reasons you should hire a professional pressure washing company like Complete Power Wash to clean your home or commercial property.

Softwash Roof cleaning by Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MDMany people hire Complete Power Wash because we are a professional pressure washing company. Many of those same people hire us again in the future. Do you know why? That’s right, because we are professional pressure washing company. What that means is those repeat customers have learned it is better to hire us because of several reasons. Please keep reading and you will likely hire us, because…wait for it….we are a professional pressure washing company!

Reason #1

Our techs know how to operate pressure washing equipment. Yes, you can go buy or rent a residential pressure washing machine, because you want to do the work and save money. We understand that, because we understand many want to

Man pressure washing from ground

                   Homeowner Pressure Washing

spend money wisely. However, this may not be the wisest way to spend AND most homeowners don’t know how to clean various building materials the right way. This can lead to damage that will cost a lot more than the cost of hiring a professional pressure washing company.

Reason #2

Safety is big reason to hire a Complete Power Wash tech. Many people are afraid of heights, and rightfully so. Our techs know how to use pressure washing equipment, while on a ladder, and while working on wet surfaces. If our tech gets hurt, we can take of our employee. If a homeowner gets hurt, it’s a different story. Pain, suffering and being out of work will cost a lot more than hiring us to wash your Hagerstown-area home.

Reason # 3

Because pressure washing isn’t about power washing. Our techs are trained on the best way to clean every surface. Did you know that it is rare to use high water pressure to clean a home’s exterior? We use the softwash technique to combine the right pressure and the right gentle detergent to get the best result. Most people think you have to blast away away algae, dirt, grime, stains and other elements that make your property ugly. This is not true!

Reason # 4

Deck before and after pressure washed by Complete Power WashYou want your house looking better than before the power washing work  was done. Certainly no one wants damage to their building materials, since decking, roofing materials, gutters, sidewalks and siding are expensive to replace. But cleaning a property and cleaning up in a way that leaves great results is no easy task. Pressure washing is a messy job. Professionals know how to clean and clean up a property to leave it looking almost new again. DIY pressure washers and novices are often astounded that after hours of “cleaning,” it just looks like the dirt and grime have been moved around. Don’t move it, let us eliminate it!

Reason # 5

Enjoy the time you have! You work hard and should not spend your time on such a big job and your money of renting or buying equipment. We know this sounds like a sales pitch, but for all the reasons listed here, it’s hard to argue against hiring a professional pressure washing company.

This is important when the surface could be damaged, because strong water pressure and the wrong nozzle are the wrong combination. This is often the problem with residential equipment and inexperienced operators.
