Seeking power washing recommendation

    Hi folks

    Am looking for a personal recommendation on someone to power wash a driveway and the outside of a house in Ennis town. Last time out the guy's equipment was too powerful and there was so much paint removed from the exterior of the house I had to repaint - an expense I hadn't bargained on! Would appreciate any steer ye can give me.

    Not being smart but a decent power washer will lift loose paint, you could always buy one but make sure it is 1000 psi pressure or less.

    or you could just keep the washer back further from the paintwork,

    i think that chap was pulling the wool over your eyes by suggesting it was too powerful

    Power washers are relatively cheap now, would you consider buying one and doing the job yourself. I bought a Karcher power washer a couple of years ago and I use it all the time to power wash the house, paths and cars.
