If you’ve received multiple pressure washing quotes and one is significantly lower, it’s natural to ask why.
At Rinse Prince Pressure & Softwashing, based in West Orange, we often evaluate homes that were previously cleaned using fast, high-pressure-only methods.
Here’s what homeowners should understand.
Why Some Quotes Are Much Lower
There are usually four reasons:
1️⃣ High Pressure Only
Fast but not thorough.
2️⃣ No Organic Treatment
Surface cleaning without killing algae at the root.
3️⃣ Phone-Only Estimates
No property evaluation.
4️⃣ Minimal Surface Protection
No plant protection or material-specific planning.
What Cheap Pressure Washing Can Lead To
Across Livingston, Montclair, and West Orange, we commonly see:
- Paint chipping
- Water forced behind siding
- Trim damage
- Rapid regrowth
Short-term savings often require re-cleaning sooner.
Why Method Matters in New Jersey
Our climate accelerates organic growth.
Without proper treatment:
Algae returns quickly.
Surface blasting alone is not enough.
Our Brand Philosophy
At Rinse Prince, we prioritize:
- Surface protection
- Root treatment
- In-person evaluation
- Long-term results
We are not the cheapest option.
We focus on preservation and longevity.
Why We Don’t Provide Phone Quotes
Every property is different.
An onsite evaluation allows us to assess:
- Growth severity
- Surface materials
- Access challenges
- Safety considerations
- Bundle opportunities
This protects homeowners from mispricing and improper treatment.
Professional Recommendation
✔ Ask about method, not just price
✔ Confirm organic growth treatment
✔ Avoid excessive pressure on siding
✔ Choose providers who evaluate in person
Exterior cleaning is preventative maintenance — not a race to the lowest bid.
