Being licensed and insured is crucial for businesses, as it establishes credibility and provides financial protection. | Licensed - This means a business has obtained the necessary approvals from local, state, or federal authorities to legally operate.

Common types of business insurance include | General Liability Insurance - Covers injuries, property damage, and legal costs. | Workers' Compensation Insurance - Protects employees in case of work-related injuries. | Professional Liability Insurance - Covers errors or negligence in professional services. | Being licensed and insured reassures customers that a business is legitimate and prepared for risks.

Being bonded generally means that a company has purchased a surety bond to protect its clients or partners. This bond acts as a financial safety net, ensuring that if the business fails to meet its obligations—like completing a job or abiding by legal agreements—the client can recover their losses through the bond.

Pressure washing can be a powerful tool for cleaning your home’s exterior—but when done incorrectly, it can cause more harm than good. At Stovall's Pressure Washing, we’ve seen it all. Here are the most common mistakes people make when pressure washing, and why it’s often best to leave it to the pros | ❌. Using Too Much Pressure - High pressure can damage siding, strip paint, etch concrete, and even break windows. Different surfaces require different pressure levels—what works for concrete can destroy wood or vinyl. Tip - Use a lower PSI for delicate surfaces and always test a small area first. ❌ 2. Holding the Nozzle Too Close - Getting too close to the surface can cause gouging, streaking, or water intrusion behind siding and into walls. Tip - Maintain a consistent distance—usually 12 to 18 inches—from the surface. ❌ 3. Using the Wrong Nozzle -Nozzles come in different spray angles for a reason. A 0-degree nozzle can cut through surfaces, while a 40-degree nozzle is better for gentle cleaning. Tip - Choose the right nozzle for the job, and never use a pinpoint stream on siding or wood. ❌ 4. Skipping the Cleaning Solution - Water alone won’t remove mold, mildew, or oil stains. Using the right detergent helps break down grime and prevents regrowth. Tip - Use eco-friendly, surface-appropriate cleaners—and let them dwell before rinsing. ❌ 5. Ignoring Safety Precautions - Pressure washers can cause serious injuries. Slippery surfaces, flying debris, and electrical hazards are all risks. Tip - Wear protective gear, avoid ladders, and never spray near electrical outlets or fixtures. ❌ 6. Not Prepping the Area - Failing to cover plants, move furniture, or close windows can lead to water damage or ruined landscaping. Tip - Take time to prep your work area—cover delicate plants, seal doors/windows, and clear the space. ❌ 7. Overlooking Maintenance Needs - Pressure washing is great, but it’s not a fix for damaged siding, loose shingles, or cracked concrete. Tip - Inspect your home before washing and address any repairs first. ✅ Leave It to the Pros - At Stovall's Pressure Washing, we use the right equipment, techniques, and cleaning solutions to get the job done safely and effectively. Save yourself the hassle and the risk, by letting our trained team handle it for you.
