Business highlights
35 years of trusted experience
Services we offer
Low pressure heated washing to all surfaces: Homes, decks, fences, driveways, sidewalks, pool surrounds, sheds, drivit, etc.. Wood sealing in clear, semi-transparent or solid stain. Wood repair and replacement. Interior and exterior painting.
They were very prompt. I took them around the home and showed them problem areas, which were all addressed. They took me through each step they would be performing. I did inquire with the office if the chemicals they were to use would be safe to plants and I was told yes. None of my plants/flowers were damaged but an entire side of a Japanese Maple completely lost all of its leaves due to the chemical. They were very detailed and even power washed a rear sidewalk, a small rubbermaid shed and a small front walkway. Overall, I will use this company again but possibly request no chemicals the next time since my house is positioned to not needing cleaning more than once every two years.
Description of Work: Power washed my home.

As soon as we called we were able to get an appointment. They came out and cleaned both our house and deck. Our siding and deck looked great after the power washing was completed. I would use them again.

Getting the company to come out when I wanted was like pulling teeth, and when they finally did come they only did they only did one side of the house. It took 3 different phone calls to get them to do the rest of the house.I will not be using this company again.

I am a repeat customer. This is truly an exceptional company. End result has always been sparkling (like new) siding. This is the first time I also used them to clean my decks. Same result ... absolutely beautiful !!!. The technician (Dan) who was assigned to my job is exceptionally consientious, highly experienced and respectful of flower beds and property, Couldn't have been better from start to finish!
Description of Work: Pressure washed entire house, gutters, two decks and brick entrance - 2 story Colonial with 8 dormers. Outstanding in every respect from first contact to final walk around!

McKown discussed my options with me and estimates for the work. They don't ask for money down and don't take payment until you are satisfied with their work. I originally included my boat pad, shutters and gutters in the original estimate but decided not to do them at this time. Bob McKown and Freda Ashley were both professional and very patient with me. Their technician came back to re-do the part I wasn't totally satisfied with. My only real disappointment was when he finished the work on 25 October, he dumped the sealant on my front lawn next to the sidewalk on both sides of my driveway. It turned my grass brown; hopefully it greens back up next spring. Why he didn't properly dispose of it is inexcusable. I recommend McKown Pressure Wash & Painting and will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Pressure washed and sealed my sidewalks and drive way...approximately 2,800 square feet.

I paid for the service using Angie and I had to contact McKown for arranging time. They arrived on time and completed the work quickly (maybe too quickly). Solid service.
Description of Work: This is the second year I've hired them using a Angie Big Deal. While they did work with me over location (they're in VA Beach and I am in Yorktown), I thought they price was still a little hi. I found out that my neighbor gets a better price from a local vendor. Solid service and fairly good price. Jon B

Services advertized that I purhcased was for 2 story house wash. I have siding over brick first story. Worker arrived on time and set to work. Only part of house that was washed was 2nd story (siding only) and all this was performed from teh ground level. There was no evidence of washing activity on the first story brick exterior. Worker did not mention anything related to siding only, just went about his task. Do not feel I got my money's worth from tehis service and HIGHLY recommend specific clarifications with with the service provider prior to job start. As no such questions were asked of my by the providing company in scheduling the service, nor by the worker who performed the service, my overall rating of this service provider can only be FAIR at best.

Overall it was a great experience. I had read several of the reviews on Angie's list and one caught my attention regarding the use of a subcontractor. When I arranged the work with McKown, I specifically asked if they would be sending a company employee and not a subcontractor. I was told they only used company employees that worked directly for McKown. When the pressure washer arrived, he was in an old pick-up truck that was obvioiusly not a McKown company truck, and as we talked he confirmed he was a subcontractor. I felt somewhat misled. However, Jimmy (the subcontractor) did an ooutstanding job, was very professional, polite, and helpful. I was not satisified with how the windows turned out. He tried an alternative solution, and when that did not work, he pulled out his ladder and did them all by hand. I would definitely use McKown again, and would ask for Jimmy....

I was so impressed with the pressure washing, I am having them come back and paint the trim on my front porch
Description of Work: Got an estimate for the work that I wanted done. The employees showed up earlier than expected, were here for 3 days and did an excellent job. I had the house pressure washed, the wood fence done, the 4 decks done and the walkways around my pond done. Once done with pressure washing, I had the fence, decks walkways all sealed with the color of our choice. It looks wonderful. My only regret was not having it done sooner. Thank you for a job well done.

One week after our assessment, I followed up with a voicemail message, asking for our estimate. Another week passed with no response, so I called again and spoke with someone who immediately knew who I was and that I was waiting for an estimate. Two weeks later, after receiving no word from McKown, I left another voicemail message. Since then, I've been calling weekly, with my last message being September 13 (this time, I contacted the corporate office as well). The job was finally executed six weeks later. Mr. McKown advised me that although he understands that his company was at fault, he would never do work for us again because he took a loss by offering us a discount (this wasn't explained until today, April 18, 2013, by his office administrator, Freda). This is extremely poor business practice, and it's beyond reasonable comprehension. UPDATE: On April 19, 2013, McKown Pressure Wash & Paint responded to my review with two absolute lies. Apparently, the person they outsourced to complete the original work was not truthful to McKown about the work he actually completed. He did NOT perform all of the work that McKown thought was to be estimated (due to their miscommunication), so all work was NOT carried out. When the painter began to continue painting more area than we agreed upon, I stopped him within 5 minutes. He apparently informed McKown that he performed more work than he actually did. Another lie is that I gave them a poor rating and then asked them to do more work. When I was inquiring about another project, I had not yet submitted any rating whatsoever. I only submitted a poor review after they treated us so badly upon our request for additional work. The "Report Date" is reflective of the "Approximate Date of Service (or Last Contact), not the date I actually filed the report. I submitted my review on April 18, 2013.
Description of Work: In July, 2012, a McKown representative visited our home to assess a paint job and advised that we would be receiving an estimate.

Response from McKown Pressure Wash & Painting
As Angies List advocates we take the Angies List rating system seriously. We strive to receive “A”s from all clients because this means they are happy with everything about the experience they have had working with our company. Receiving an “F” from a client is taken seriously on our part and we strive to make changes to avoid any such rating in the future. The above “F” rating was received after it took our client longer to receive an estimate than it should have. (member name removed) then hired us to do his painting work requesting to only have part of the estimated work done. Through a blip of miscommunication our painter thought (member name removed) had wanted all of the estimated work performed (not just part) and so all work was carried out. (member name removed) confirmed with us that he was happy with the actual work performed . To make things right, our owner Mr. McKown stepped in and offered (member name removed) the same price it would have cost him to perform the partial work even though all of the work outlined in the original estimate was carried out. Mr. McKown then offered him half off of that price due to the length of time it took to receive his pricing. We did all we could on our part to make things right and to satisfy (member name removed) yet an “F” rating with a poor report was still received and written displaying his dissatisfaction with our company. After (member name removed) gave us an “F” rating and originally wrote such a dissatisfied report on our company (prior to him altering it yesterday, April 18) he called us back this week requesting us to perform further work. We do not wish to continue to work with someone who is unhappy with our services (after trying to make things right on our end) and we do not understand why he would want to continue to work with a company he was so evidently unhappy with based on his “F” report. After politely turning down working with (member name removed) (our right as a contractor), we received an email letting us know how ashamed of ourselves we should be. So either way, we receive an “F” no matter what we try and do. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a website such as “Angies List” for contractors like us to avoid working with clients as such above?! Angie, please help! Please note that it is not (member name removed)'s mother whom we do not want to work with. “Hi, Bob ... I just wanted to thank you for the work you did on our home projects last year. Although your administrative assistant (Freda) caused quite a few problems in communication, your offer to provide a discount was very generous, and the work was great. My 85 year-old mother, who owns the house and is the sole resident, was very disheartened when Freda told us yesterday that you refuse to do any further work for her because you took a loss on the job. Had this been explained to her last year, she would have preferred to pay full price, since she was so pleased with the work. I can’t tell you how difficult it is to explain this business practice to an elderly person. She feels that she’s being punished for something that wasn’t her fault. She’s such a fair-minded and trusting person ... You should be ashamed of yourself. (member name removed)”

They were very helpful. They came out very quickly after I called them. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. This is a low pressure, heated wash which is for good reducing damage to your home from other ways of doing a pressure wash.
