Comparing companies? Good. You should.
Seven questions to ask any power washer — including us
We'd rather you compare than guess. Here's what separates a professional exterior-cleaning company from a guy with a pressure washer — and our answer to every question.
01. Are you licensed and insured — and can you prove it?
Gallo Bros
Yes, fully. Certificate of insurance available before we step on your property.
What to watch for
“Yes” with no paperwork. If a company can't produce a COI, you're carrying their risk.
02. How many verified reviews do you have?
Gallo Bros
829+ Google reviews at a 5.0 average — all public, all on our profile.
What to watch for
A handful of testimonials on their own website with no way to verify who wrote them.
03. Will you soft wash my siding and roof?
Gallo Bros
Always. Low pressure + cleaning solution on siding and shingles — the method manufacturers recommend. High pressure only on concrete.
What to watch for
One machine, one setting, everything blasted. That's how siding gets water behind it and shingles lose granules.
04. Is the quote firm?
Gallo Bros
Yes. The price we quote is the price you pay. Free, and in writing.
What to watch for
A low “starting at” price that grows once they're on the ladder.
05. Who actually shows up?
Gallo Bros
Our own trained crew — family-owned company, PWNA member, OSHA-certified.
What to watch for
Whoever answered a gig ad that week, with your property as the training ground.
06. What happens if something's not right?
Gallo Bros
We come back and fix it. That's how you keep a 5.0 across 829+ reviews.
What to watch for
A disconnected phone number after the check clears.
07. Do you handle commercial and recurring work?
Gallo Bros
Yes — storefronts, warehouses, dumpster pads, parking garages, on recurring schedules with single-invoice billing.
What to watch for
Residential-only rigs stretched onto commercial jobs they're not equipped for.
Ask every company on your list these seven questions. If someone answers them better than we do, hire them — seriously. We just haven't met them yet.
Choosing a power washing company
How do I choose a power washing company in NJ?
Ask four things: proof of insurance, verified review count, whether they soft wash siding and roofs (low pressure), and whether the quote is firm and written. Any professional company answers all four instantly — hesitation on any of them is your answer.
What makes Gallo Bros different from other power washing companies?
829+ verified 5-star Google reviews at a 5.0 average, full licensing and insurance, soft-wash methods on every delicate surface, firm written quotes, and a family-owned crew that comes back if anything's not right. All of it verifiable — not claimed.
Is the cheapest power washing quote a bad sign?
Not always — but ask what it leaves out. Lowball quotes often skip insurance, use high pressure everywhere (faster, but damages siding and shingles), or grow on-site. A firm all-in quote from an insured company is usually the cheaper number by season's end.
