Learn why Complete Power Wash is your best option for professional exterior cleaning of Tri-state area homes and businesses.
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.
Many 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
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
You 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.

Clogged Gutters Make Spring Rains Dangerous
Clean gutters to keep away mildew, algae and other harmful elements.
Rain, rain go away…well, we know that song has never really worked, especially during a wet spring season. But the rainfall is more than just washed out weekends and long gray days. Most people in the Greater Hagerstown, MD area likely never think about the one thing on their house that could cause REAL headaches; the gutters.
Many may hear the rain on the roof and never think about the amount of water running into the gutter system. They don’t think about it, that is, until the water is running OVER the gutters, finding its way inside the house. However, they will think about it once fungus starts growing and causing other issues, since that’s what it does so well.
Possible Health Problems
Clean Gutters by Complete Power Wash
The professionals at Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD know how important it is to keep gutters clean and functioning at a high level. This is why they offer gutter cleaning as part of their service. They know that mildew and other fungi can cause health risks, such as severe allergies that result in respiratory distress. Among the worst problems can be the triggering of an asthma attack in someone afflicted with the condition. For most, it is simply the need to get medical assistance from an inhaler. More severe asthma cases can cause hospitalization or even death.
In addition to health concerns, misdirected rain water can damage to your home’s structure. The wood behind the gutters can rot. The house’s exterior walls can be damaged. And, if the water continues to pool around the base of the house, the foundation can be compromised.
Complete Power Wash‘s techs will make sure the gutters are clean inside and out. Many homeowners are amazed by the house’s transformation, since the gutters are the “frames” to sections of a home. And, if you’re selling your home, you can bet prospective buyers will notice. It could be the difference in the first impression from the curb.

Tax Return Can Pay for Pressure Washing
With many tax returns on their way back to taxpayers, it’s time to inspect your home’s outer shell for its pressure washing needs.
With Turbo Tax, mall kiosks and electronic filing, tax returns are getting done faster and faster these days. Chances are that you already have your cash in hand, because of the rapid refund programs available today. That’s why we suggest you inspect your home’s exterior and consider its pressure washing needs at this moment.
Now is the time to be thinking about a wise way to invest that “new-found” money in your biggest investment. Some will see it as a windfall for a shopping spree. And some will see it as a chance to invest in their home’s much-needed upkeep and overall beauty.
What’s the Harm?
Do you see harmful elements growing on the surfaces around your home? Is your siding or brick exterior a different color than when you moved in years ago?
If the answers are “yes,” your house is actually aging faster due to the build up of grime, mildew and algae. If the answers are “yes,” then you should seriously consider a professional pressure washing by the cleaning experts at Complete Power Wash.
CPW’s techs use of the softwash technique — low water pressure and gentle detergents — is best for the cleaning of concrete, siding, roofing materials, gutters, fences, decks and more.
A thorough cleaning will not only make all the surfaces shine like new, but will also remove the microbes that can cause airborne health issues for your family. Buildup on outdoor living spaces and water that invades outer walls are the biggest personal health hazards.
Clean gutters will ensure that rain water flows away from your home, not down the walls and into it. It takes very little moisture for mold and mildew to take hold and then cause thousands of dollars in damage and possibly triggering asthma attacks.
If you would like to spend your tax return on a professional pressure washing of your home, contact the Complete Power Wash office in Clear Spring, MD. Our techs are the exterior cleaning experts in the greater Hagerstown, MD area and the surrounding Tri-state communities in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

February is Here, But Spring is Coming
February is upon us, but spring will be here soon and so will the outdoor gatherings.
February means ground hog shadows, Valentine’s Day and continued cold weather. But February also means that we are one month closer to spring’s warmer temperatures and outdoor gatherings with family and friends. Is your home ready to shine when they come by with the potato salad and desserts?
If not, now is the time to inspect your siding, sidewalks, decks and roof for signs of algae and grime, since those elements take away a home’s beauty. The techs at Complete Power Wash are ready to come out and help…as soon as the weather says, “GO!“
And while you’re considering that call or email to schedule your pressure washing appointment, read this interesting trivia about the second month of the year. Fact: February was not always the second month of the year.
February Facts
- February was originally the last month of the calendar year. It was eventually moved in 450 B.C. to its place as the second month. This was done so the calendar would reflect a standard lunar year.
- February is packed with holidays and history. February 2nd is Groundhog Day; the 12th is Abraham Lincoln‘s birthday; the 14th is St. Valentine’s Day; the 15th is Chinese New Year and Susan B. Anthony‘s birthday; the 18th is President’s Day.
and the 22nd is George Washington’s birthday. - The month of February is the only month that can pass without a full moon, in common years. The last time we witnessed such a scenario was last year (2018).
- In common years, February starts on the same day of the week as March and November, and on leap years, it starts with the same day of the week as August.
- February is American Heart Month; Black History Month; Bird-Feeding Month; and Dental Health Month.
- Amethyst is the birthstone for those born in the month.
- The Violet and the Primrose are the flowers for February.
- February is named for the Latin word februum, which means purification.
And, the second month of the year is a day longer every four years. Do you know why? The answer is: A common year has 365 days and a leap year 366 days, with the extra day designated as February 29th. A leap year occurs every four years to help synchronize the calendar year with the solar year, or the length of time it takes the earth to complete its orbit around the sun, which is about 365¼ days.
