TERMS & TIPS
Terms & Conditions and Quality Outcome Tips | (Applicable to all Pressure Washing Jobs)
The following represent the Terms & Conditions between Advanced Pressure Washing, LLC (“APW”) and you, the customer and (where applicable) your tenants, employees, agents and assigns. (collectively, the “Parties”):
1) Legally Binding Agreement
By accepting APW’s proposal, you are entering into a legally binding agreement for work to be completed at an agreed upon price. In the event that you breach this agreement or fail to provide APW with at least 48 hour notice of any cancellation or request to reschedule, APW reserves the right to retain all deposits as damages.
2) Water Usage
You agree to provide APW the right to use an on-site water supply as needed to complete the stated project without compensation. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the water supply is on and in working order before we arrive. Additional charges may apply if water is not available.
3) Electrical Usage
You agree to provide APW the right to use an on-site source of electricity as needed to complete the stated project without compensation for such use. Additional charges may apply if an exterior electricity is not available.
4) Safety
While APW is on location and performing work and for a period of 24 hours after completion, you are responsible for keeping all children, pets and other vulnerable individuals away from the work area and off of the work surfaces. This is for their safety as well as our own.
5) Work stoppage
In the event that work must be stopped while job is in progress, due to changes by customer or unforeseen defects or delays on the customer’s part, the customer will pay for labor time incurred. If the situation can be remedied on the job by the contractor, he will do so with customer’s consent and a signed waiver.
6) Payment
Full Payment of any balance is due upon completion unless other payment terms are arranged prior to beginning work on the job. Any variance to this policy must be agreed upon and in writing on our contract. Payments to APW are to be paid by cash, check or Credit Card. Late charges will be immediately assessed on all balances not paid in accordance with contract terms. The customer agrees to pay any cost incurred by APW related to the collection of outstanding balances, including but not limited to attorney and filing fees.
7) Scheduling
Scheduling in a business in which productivity and job completion relies upon the weather is difficult as inclement weather may affect scheduling. However, we try our very best to keep re-scheduling and scheduling conflicts to a minimum. If circumstances arise that are beyond our control, it may affect your project start and completion dates. You will be promptly notified by phone and/or of any such changes.
8) Removal & Replacement of Deck Contents
Removal and replacement of grills, deck furniture, planters and any other items are the responsibility of the homeowner. Should we need to remove items from the deck, we will not be responsible for any damage, breakage or for storage issues. Additional labor charges may apply for the removal/protection/replacement of these items.
9) Removal & Replacement of Signage
Customer shall remove or adequately protect all exterior signage or similar exterior objects that could be damaged due to exposure to high water pressure or chlorine based chemicals/solutions. Additional labor charges may apply for the removal/protection/replacement of these items.
10) Damages
APW is not responsible for damages due to any defective or improperly installed siding, loose shingles or siding, broken or opened windows, improperly sealed windows and doors, wood rot, defective construction, improperly secured wires, loose or improperly installed gutters and leaders and improper caulking. In every aluminum siding case and in some cases with vinyl siding, the sun and weather will bleach the color or cause fading.

Quality Outcome Tips:
- APW requires that you keep the job site free from any obstructions, other workers, equipment, or unnecessary materials that would conflict or interfere with the APW’s performance.
- APW expects the structures on your property to be in good repair and weathertight. This includes, but is not limited to all electrical service including receptacles and light fixtures.
- Doors & Windows: Doors and windows shall also be weathertight, adequately sealed and closed prior pressure washing work begins. APW is not responsible for damages as a result of water infiltration from poor or improper installation, maintenance or repair of electrical related items or doors or windows.
- Windows may become water spotted as a result of our services. Window cleaning is NOT included.
- Stains: Some stains cannot be removed by power washing. Tree sap, artillery fungus, splatters from stains and paints are examples of materials that cannot be removed by conventional means. We make every attempt to point these areas out to the customer when quoting the project. Sometimes these stains cannot be removed at all.
- APW cannot guarantee removal of artillery fungus from exterior house surfaces.
