For…read morethe past couple years, our family has stared at moss covered, dirty, moldy trampoline on our property which has restricted our children from using it. In just 1 service call, Rich and his team went above and beyond to restore our trampoline to 'like new' and since then our kids haven't jumped off for even a second. The service was booked easily and the work was completed efficiently and in a safe and methodical manner. I will gladly be using PWS for future powerwashing needs.

I do not normally take the time to write reviews and I definitely do not enjoy speaking negatively…read moreabout small businesses. However, the poor quality of work and damage to my property caused by Rich / PWS of Bergen County was so abysmal that I felt the need to share these details with other potential customers. Make your own decisions, of course, but ignore my experience at your own peril. During and after completion of the job, there were a number of issues I raised to Rich. He accepted no responsibility for damage caused to my property, ignored the defects that I noted in his work, and was dismissive when I offered him opportunities to make things right. I am including some specific examples here, along with the attached photos, which speak for themselves. 1) Damaged Wood Front Door - PWS used bleach ("SH" or "Sodium Hypoclorite") under pressure to wash my front wood door. The result was that it stripped off some of the polyurethane finishing. Rich said his crew did not wash the front door - however - I have it on video. His proposed solution was to pay him several hundred dollars more to stain parts of my front door --- no thanks, Rich. I was quoted $3,500 by an actual professional to properly fix this damage, which requires sanding and refinishing two large front doors. 2) Unlevel Pavers - Despite paying over $1,600 to relevel a small section of pavers in front of my garage to direct the flow of water away from my home into a drain, what he instead did was create a new area for water to pool, making the problem even worse than when I started - both functionally and visually. When I raised this to Rich, he blamed me for agreeing to do it that way, which I obviously did not do knowingly, and even if it were a misunderstanding, his aggressively defensive response was unprofessional. His suggestion was to pay him more to fix it.  3) Damaged Hardie Board Siding - My #1 concern before having my home washed was to ensure the siding wouldn't get damaged. I discussed this concern with Rich extensively and he assured me that his process used a mix of safe chemicals and a safe level of pressure to avoid damage. When I pointed out the permanent marks on my siding to him, he said they were shadows from nearby trees and that his crew uses horizontal pressure washing strokes, so it couldn't have been him. Of course, I observed his crew making plenty of vertical strokes with high pressure. 4) Damage to Roof - When cleaning the gutters (part of his home wash package), parts of my roofline were pressure washed without my approval. This left the visual impact of having parts of my roof discolored and also washed off some of the shingle granules. When I raised this to Rich, he told me "The guys are up there on your roof fighting for their lives with pressure washers, what do you expect?" His suggestion to correct the defect was to "rub dirt on the clean part" or pay another $700 to wash parts of my roof. 5) Incorrect Application of Polymeric Sand - I paid extra to have my pavers washed and "resanded" with polymeric sand, which when installed correctly is meant to harden. Days after the work was completed, I pointed out to Rich that there were numerous spots that were either very soft or where the polymer had washed away (leaving just plain old sand). He told me a combination of that's how it was supposed to look and that it would continue to harden, which was obviously not correct. A month later, the sand is already failing and has been washed/blown away in multiple places. 6) Plant Damage - Rich told me that they avoid damage to plants by spraying clean water on them before, during and after the chemical / bleach is applied. However, as you can see in the photos (taken over a month after the work), numerous plants and large areas of grass were permanently destroyed. If you've read this far - thank you. As I mentioned above, I don't take pleasure in causing a small  business to lose customers. However, there were simply too many issues with PWS and lost opportunities by Rich to fix them to ignore. The final straw was when I showed the work to another contractor - they were incredulous about how poor the work was. I suspect that Rich will respond to this review and again deny responsibility. Anyway - potential customers, you've been warned.

I called Somebody's Gotta Do It to get a quote to wash the siding of my house, get rid of moss…read morebuild up on my patio stone block flooring and the roof of my tool shed, which had accumulated moss. Patrick, the owner of the business, answered the call and listened to my requests. At the end of the phone call, he asked that I send him pictures of the areas that needed cleaning via text, and he can send back a quote via text withing one business day. I sent him photos of the areas that needed washing via text. Within a few hours, Patrick texts me a quote document with his company letterhead on it. The price for the 3 tasks notably lower than another quote I received from another powerwasher company. (As an aside, I found out from him that he is the only person in the business, so his overhead is much lower than many competitors. This helps keeps his prices low. Also, in case it is not obvious, most power washers have to connect to your external hose to access water. You are supplying the water, not the power washer.) I agreed to hire Patrick, and we set an appointment 10 days later with a time window. A few hours after agreeing to hire him, I realized I only texted him 2 sides of the house. I sent pictures of all sides of the house I wanted cleaned to make sure his quote covered that. Patrick replied that his quote covered the entire house siding, not just the pictures I initially sent. Very nice! Patrick texted me the day before the appointment to confirm. On the day of, he shows up within his time window. He was professional and courteous. We walked around the areas to be worked on, as I provided context that might have been missing from the photos. He saw one side of my house had some stone work instead of siding, and he said his quote will cover cleaning that; I was not expecting him to cover this part, but I am glad he did. Some small awning-like attachments on my side door and rear of the house would also be washed as part of the house quote. After the walkthrough, he provided some additional information about the work. He pointed out that some areas of the siding that have oxidized and have become slightly discolored and "shiny"; his washing can't fix that. For the moss build up on the tool shed, he will softwash it with a solution that will kill off the moss and turn it white. The moss will flake off on its own in a few months of rainfall. Otherwise, powerwashing the tool shed roof normally would damage its roof shingles. With those two items clarified, he got to work! He taped off external electrical outlets and a doorbell. He reminded me to close all the windows! Cleaning the house siding, tool shed roof, and the patio flooring took about 2.5 hours. After he was done, he called me to inspect the work and pay him. He was very thorough with his cleaning. Any algae buildup and stains on the house siding were gone. The patio flooring looked new again with the moss washed off. And, as expected, the moss on the tool shed roof had been "bleached" white and other parts of the roof cleaned up. All I have to do is wait for rain to do its thing on the dead moss. In addition, Patrick went above and beyond and washed a few areas adjacent to the work area, like a small section of my vinyl fence next to the patio and tool shed, so that was greatly appreciated. Overall, I am greatly satisfied with Patrick's work. You can definitely hire him for your powerwashing/softwashing needs.
