When vinyl siding hit the market it made a huge impact in the home construction industry. Today, there is a new siding material that is reaching new customers and some who are looking into redoing, updating, or upgrading the exteriors of their homes.
As hard as technology continues to move forward, the home construction industry still has not created a self-cleaning siding. That said, steel siding is fast getting a substantial niche in the siding industry.
Steel siding, like all siding materials, should be cleaned at least once a year. Unlike other siding materials that you may have on a home, steel siding can stand up to a pressure washer cleaning.
This means you can run right down to your favorite DIY shop, pick up the best pressure washer you can find, come home and clean your steel siding quickly and easily.

By now, it is a hope that you understand it is much wiser for you to hire a professional pressure washing crew to pressure wash the steel siding of your home. There are a multitude of reasons why it continues to be the best decision you can make to have professionals come and pressure wash the steel siding. Here are a few, in no particular order:
Certain chemicals safe for vinyl, stucco and other materials are not safe for steel. Squeegee Squad has the appropriate chemicals for the best results that will also not hurt your landscaping or grass around the exterior walls.
If you have external outlets, Squeegee squad will likely turn them off until done. Water and electricity do not get along well. This one is pretty clear-cut and doesn’t require much explanation.
Professional pressure washing crews have long-handled brushes with water hookups to reach the really high places. The bristles on the brush are soft and will not damage the steel siding. Yes; harsh brushes and brushing will damage the siding in various ways.
Mold and mildew are likely to build up in areas you may not recognize. Our highly trained pressure washing crews are familiar with the places that commonly hold water, and we know how to take care of it. We can also take out the mold and mildew without problems quickly and easily.
The pressure washer should be set on a very low level from the outset. Most homeowners are not familiar enough with the settings on a pressure washer to set it correctly. There are videos and guides to watch and read. By the time you finish watching and reading, Squeegee Squad can have the job done or close to done.
As the crew works their way around the home cleaning the steel siding, the cleaning is done one piece at a time. Once cleaned, the section is rinsed fully with fresh water. Leaving any soapy water on the siding can cause spotting, look unprofessional, and can be an eyesore to look at.
Our highly trained professional pressure washing crews will finish pressure washing your steel siding, collect all of the materials we used, put hoses back and leave. If you attempt to do it yourself, you will have to clean up, put everything away and return the pressure washer if you rented it.
Lastly, take everything we have discussed from top to bottom and consider if you want to set aside your Saturday to do this or come home after a long day at work to see the steel siding is already cleaned? When you make the better choice, call a location near you for a free, no-obligation quote on services. We look forward to hearing from you.
