TL:DR Jacob, the owner, did an outstanding job, is extremely professional, prompt, sends before/after photos to show the difference, does extra work for free, and is a super nice guy.
I needed someone to pressure wash the exterior of my mom's house in preparation to put it on the market. I submitted a request for bids on Angie's List. Jacob was the first one who responded, and it was within an hour.
He was very friendly and professional over the phone and told me that he's the owner of the company and the only one who will do the work. Most importantly, it was on a Tuesday and I needed the job done that Saturday in order to line up with the other contractors I had coming. Jacob said it was no problem.
Jacob charges by square footage and had already looked up the size of my mom's house and prepared a quote for me prior to the call: $675 for a 4,140 Sq ft home. It sounded good to me, so we agreed on a 9:00am start time.
That Saturday, Jacob arrived right at 9:00am. We did a walk of the exterior and he described the work he would do. I had mentioned on the phone call that I might like for him to also pressure was the pavers that comprise the walkways and large front and back patios of the house. He said he thought he could get it all done that day, but might have to come back Monday, which was fine with me. With that, he set off to work, and I went about doing the five million other things I had to do to get the house ready for sale.
Jacob got the whole job done by 4:00 on Saturday. I was thrilled with the results! We walked the exterior and he pointed out notable spots, including three sections that he hand washed because he noticed the stucco was loose and he didn't want to risk more damage by pressure washing it.
It looked like a brand new house! This was especially clear when Jacob sent the before and after pictures. And, not only had Jacob done all the contracted work, he even pulled the all the weeds that had come up between the cracks of the pavers and he pressure washed the rocks of my parent's decorative pond (which was unfilled). He told me afterwards that he always looks for something extra to do for his clients.
When it came time to review the bill, Jacob said the house charge was a little higher than the estimate ($800 vs. $675) because of the handwashing. My parents also had years of bird poop built up from birds nesting in the house, which he took extra time to fully clean. It was work that needed to be done, so I was thrilled he did it, rather than doing a subpar job in order to come in at his estimate. He also charged $600 for the work on the pavers, which was a very fair price.
With this home sale, I only wanted to have work done that was going to give me a positive return on investment, ie the cost of the work would be less than the increased value of the sale price. With curb appeal being one of the most important factors in home sales, I'm certain that the $1,400 spent will give my mom at least a two or threefold return on investment! Thank you, Jacob!
I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding quality pressure wash.
