With Pristine Clean, you can schedule your power washing service within a week of your call
By Mimi Vanderhaven
With the Covid-19 home improvement boom still in full swing, most contractors are experiencing a surge in business, which is resulting in long wait times for homeowners. In fact, many companies are already booked until the fall and even into next spring.
Not so with Pristine Clean, which invested in six new trucks over the winter, bringing its fleet to a total of 19.
“We saw the volume increases coming and decided to invest heavily,” says company founder Ken Wilson. “As a result, we are currently scheduling service within 5-7 days of the customer’s call. That’s unheard of in the industry right now. But we don’t like asking customers to wait and we don’t like losing business because we are running behind. Power washing is as much about the customer experience as it is cleaning homes.”
This means if you call Pristine today, you don’t have to wait until September to have a sparkling clean home; you can have it next week. And as the July 4th holiday approaches, now is the time to get your home ready for long-awaited, post-Covid gatherings.

A Safe, Thorough Cleaning
When it comes to pressure washing, fast service isn’t everything. You also want high-quality equipment and workmanship. “Our entire fleet has been retooled with new, state-of-the-art equipment which relies on greater water volume and less pressure to get the job done better and more safely,” Ken says.
Pristine’s soft-wash system prevents damage to your home that traditional, high-pressure systems can cause. “In the wrong hands, a power washer can ruin a house,” he adds. “Too hard or too close to the house and you can fray the siding, tear window screens or blast away mortar between bricks. But our techs have years of experience and training and we know how to clean a home safely and effectively.”
Why Pressure Wash?
Most homes require the cleaning of three different surfaces—your siding, your roof, and concrete surfaces like your driveway. Vinyl siding—surprisingly—is not completely maintenance-free. “Vinyl siding features a UV coating that prevents it from fading and cracking, but dirt, algae and bacteria break down this coating causing your siding to fade and look chalky,” Ken explains. “We perform a soft-pressure wash using a mild mildewcide, which helps kill the algae, bacteria and other contagions.”
When it comes to your roof, those black streaks up there are not dirt; they’re gloeocapsa magma, an algae that breaks down your roof by feeding off of the limestone granules embedded in the shingles. “We offer a 100% guarantee to remove all of the algae,” Ken says. “We use a soft wash here, too, to avoid damage to your roof.” (For the look of a new roof without costly replacement, see the sidebar on this page.)
Finally, here in Northeast Ohio, our harsh winters chip away at our concrete sidewalks and driveways. That’s because concrete is porous, so when water penetrates your driveway then freezes, it creates cracking and flaking. But Pristine’s Concrete Clean and Seal protects concrete, brick, and paver surfaces. It includes washing your concrete with a specially formulated detergent and a walk-behind surface cleaner, plus the application of a deep-penetrating, siloxane-based concrete sealant, not cheap silicone.
“We do the job right and we do it for a fair price,” Ken concludes, “and right now we can do it quickly, too.”
The Pristine Roof Renew
Has your roof seen better days? Before you replace it, consider a cutting-edge roof restoration service.
The Pristine Roof Renew uses an environmentally safe asphalt shingle rejuvenator that extends the life of your entire roof for 5 to 15 years. The soy-based, eco-friendly application works by restoring lost oils to the shingles, dramatically increasing their flexibility and durability.
The application also waterproofs the surface of your roof and reduces the effects of oxidation and bacteria growth.
“Before we even considered this new service, I tried it on my own roof and was blown away,” says Pristine Clean founder Ken Wilson. “My roof is 15 years old, the shingles were dull and brittle, and grit was coming off. Now, a year later, the color is still rich, the shingles have fantastic elasticity, and the grit is adhering much better. The service saved me thousands of dollars over a roof replacement, and now we’re offering it to all of our clients whose roofs have seen better days. And with over 12 million tons of non-recyclable shingles filling our landfills each year, it’s an environmentally-friendly option.”
