Power Washing: Last Chance Before the Holidays
The Colder Weather and Holidays Bring an End to the Power Washing Season
Well, it’s almost that time of year again for professional power washing companies in the Tri-State area of Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia is store away their equipment and wait for spring to arrive. It’s that time when the leaves have mostly fallen, the nights are colder and the holidays are almost here…along with relatives walking up that front sidewalk. How clean is your sidewalk? Is it inviting like the coming holidays or scary, better suited for Halloween?
The technicians at Complete Power Wash haven’t completely packed up their equipment for 2017. There are still a few spots on the schedule open for pressure washing your sidewalk, roof, siding, gutters, etc….Whatever it is that is taking away from the beauty of your home, just know that there is still time to get a free estimate and book an appointment by clicking here.
The softwash technique — using gentle pressure and environmentally-friendly detergents — can wash away green gobs and black streaks without damaging any surface. Then, when the aunts, uncles and cousins arrive in a few weeks, they can walk up the clean walkway and see the lights gleaming off the freshly-scrubbed, recently-decorated home.
Complete Power Wash techs serve residents and businesses throughout the Tri-State (Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia) area, including Hagerstown, Hancock, Clean Spring, Boonsboro, Smithsburg, Myersville and Funkstown in Maryland; Greencastle, Waynesboro and State Line in Pennsylvania; and Falling Waters and Martinsburg in West Virginia.
Fall Colors Can Bring Black Streaks to Roofs & Siding
Everyone loves the colorful Fall foliage of Western Maryland, but as the leaves drop, dirt and other grime can build up on your home.
Many people only think about the beautiful parts of Fall. They think about the colors — although this year has not been great; the cool temperatures; corn fields and mazes; and pumpkin spice everything. But what most aren’t thinking about is the dirt that is falling on their roof, the debris jamming up the gutters and the rotting leaves laying on the shingles, where moisture will be trapped all winter long.
The leaves and the dirt can be easily cleaned by Complete Power Wash technicians trained to use the “softwash” technique. This is a professional cleaning technique using gentle water pressure and environmentally-friendly detergents. This is perfect for cleaning thoroughly, without the threat of damaging surfaces, especially shingles, gutters and other parts of a home’s protective exterior.
Some homeowners may notice leaves on the roof or in gutters, but may simply think it is not a big deal or “I’ll just clean it up
in the Spring when the temperatures warm up.” If the leaves are left for too long, the moisture can build up and cause algae, which can breakdown shingles. Those black streak are not only ugly, but harmful.
Leaves, sticks and acorns are also the perfect recipe for causing water backups in gutters. This can lead to mold issues behind siding, affecting interior walls and causing health problems for those living inside.

Cheaper Not Always Cheap When Hiring Pressure Washing Company
When hiring someone to pressure wash your home, roof, gutters or sidewalks, going cheap can sometimes cost more than just a few dollars.
When people hire a “cheap” or “inexpensive” pressure wash company, they generally get what they pay for, which is NOT good. Sometimes it looks a little cleaner, but not quite as good as the customer expects. Sometimes it’s worse, especially when the novice uses too much pressure and causes damage to the surface (as in the photo here).
And while we do compete against pressure washing companies that offer “cheap prices,” we know that our experience and commitment to customer satisfaction will be the best decision for homeowners in the Tri-State (Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia) area. We simply think customers should get the best service for a fair price.

Happy Labor Day from Complete Power Wash!
The pressure washing specialists at Complete Power Wash hope you and your family have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!
This is the unofficial end of summer. We hope it was a great summer and hope the fall is even better. We know this time
of year can be hectic, but we want to remind you that its not too late to a pressure washing appointment before the cold weather. We still have openings on our books for roof, siding, fence and brick/concrete cleaning at residences and businesses.
Interesting Facts About Labor Day: Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. This year it is September 4th. The holiday honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate workers. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty U.S. states officially celebrated Labor Day.
Canada’s Labour Day is also celebrated on the first Monday of September. More than 80 countries celebrate International Workers’ Day on May 1 – the ancient European holiday of May Day – and several countries have chosen their own dates for Labour Day.

Before and After Pressure Washing: The Difference is Remarkable

For this reason, we have collected a large portfolio of “Before & After” images that tell the story of some of the jobs our power washing technicians have completed in the Tri-State area of Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The pictures here are true pictorial testimonials of our pressure washing clients, who
usually leave in the morning from a dirty, tired-looking house and return to a sparkling place they can once again call home with a sense of pride, that has at least been tarnished.

Cleaning Church Roofs and Steeples
Church roofs and steeples are beautiful, unless the build up of years of dirt and stains have taken away their majestic appeal. The pressure washing experts at Complete Power Wash can handle these jobs.
Steeple and Roof AFTER Softwash Power Wash
Hagerstown and many of the surrounding communities have a beauty that attracts many from the Baltimore-Washington area on the weekends. There is much to love about the area, such as the mountains, fields and towns. One of the hallmarks of this area are the church steeples that line the main streets or sit in splendor among the green landscapes along the highways. Frederick, MD is even a destination for many just to the view the cityscape of clustered spires.
Complete Power Wash takes extra pride when called on to help return one of these houses of worship to its original glow, using the softwash technique. The softwash approach is the use of gentle, environmentally-friendly detergents and low water pressure to remove dirt, fungi and other unwanted buildup. While many homeowners have seen this technique work wonders, church building committees may not be aware and select any pressure washing company that comes in with the lowest bid. However, lowest bids rarely take into account pressure washing mistakes that lead to costly repairs of roofing materials and the softer metals, sometimes found in steeple construction.

Dirty Gutters Make Rain Water Dangerous
We Clean Gutters to Keep Away The Mold & Algae
Rain, rain go away…well, we know that song has never really worked, especially this year. The spring of 2017 has been wet, cold, wet, hot, wet, warm, wet…you get the idea. And most people in the Greater Hagerstown area have probably not thought much about the one thing on their house that could cause the most headache; the gutters. Most sit in the cozy dwelling on rainy nights, never thinking about the amount of water falling on the roof above. They don’t think about it, that is, until the gutters back up or the gutters rust through and allow the water to flood a basement. However, they will think about it once fungus starts growing on and inside the walls.
The professionals at Complete Power Wash 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, while the more severe cases can cause hospitalization or even death.
In addition to having a healthy home, pressure washing gutters — using CPW’s softwash technique of gentle detergents and low water pressure — is a simple way to make a house really shine. Many of the same homeowners who never notice the gutters are usually amazed how much clean gutters make the house look beautiful from the curb.
