Hiring Pressure Washing vs Renting a Pressure Washer
Renting a pressure washer works for a small patio. Large driveways, roofs, pavers, and painted surfaces are where DIY can etch concrete, strip paint, or blow sand out of paver joints.

|---|---|---|
| Equipment | Commercial machines and surface cleaners. | Consumer rental units. |
| Surface damage risk | Pressure matched to the surface. | Etching and stripping are common first-timer mistakes. |
| Time | Usually a few hours. | Most of a weekend. |
