The History of Thanksgiving in America
The first Thanksgiving between the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians happened in the fall of 1621, about 10 months after the Mayflower landed in Plymouth, MA. Only 44 of the 102 original voyagers were alive due to hardships of the first year. The celebration was for the great harvest, which happened because the Native-American Indians taught them about growing local crops. The Pilgrims were appreciated, because they had helped the Wampanoags fight back a rival tribe that attacked earlier in the year.
Thankful for our Clients’ Kind Words

Thank You to Our Veterans on Veterans Day
We say “Thank you” to all of the military veterans for your service to our country.
Did You Know: Originally, Veterans Day was called “Armistice Day.” The holiday was created to commemorate the signing of the armistice with Germany that ended the first World War. The focus of Armistice Day was on the veterans of that war, though it was always meant to honor all veterans of foreign wars. It was to honor those who risked their lives on the battlefield to secure the freedoms of all Americans.
During the holiday’s inception, Congress also made November 11th a day of prayer and thanksgiving. The legislators also expressed a desire that the U.S. flag be on display during this day and that special ceremonies be held. Finally, in 1938, Armistice Day became a permanent, official public holiday. Over time, with the passing away of the World War I generation, the focus on the 1918 Armistice was lost and the name of the holiday was changed. Today, Veterans Day is generally regarded as honoring all those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, rather than only those who actually fought.
“The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.” — Jeff Miller

Right now is a great time to step out and access your home’s outward appearance. That is, right after you finishing ready this pressure washing blog post.
Is your siding, roof, gutters, deck and sidewalks clean and fresh or dirty and scary, as though it’s decorated for Halloween? Wouldn’t it be great if those surfaces were clean, sparkling like the lights on a Christmas tree?
The Complete Power Wash cleaning techs still have a few openings on the schedule between now and Thanksgiving. If you’re not hosting people until Christmas, don’t wait on contacting us, because other customers and the weather can quickly crunch our time in December. You can schedule a cleaning appointment easily by clicking here.
Softwash is the Best, Safest Way to Pressure Wash
Complete Power Wash techs will use the softwash method to clean your home for the upcoming holiday season. Softwash is the perfect balance of water pressure and environmentally-friendly detergents. Blasting away dirt, grime and stains can easily damage surfaces. Intense water pressure can scar and cause costly damage to even the hardest building materials.
Our techs use softwash while serving residents and businesses throughout the Tri-State (Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia) area. Those areas include Hagerstown, Hancock, Clean Spring, Boonsboro, Smithsburg, Myersville and Funkstown in Maryland. In Pennsylvania they travel to Greencastle, Waynesboro and State Line. Our West Virginia cleaning service areas include Falling Waters, Inwood and Martinsburg.

Outdoor Gatherings on Your Deck or Patio
Fall is here and the weather is perfect for outdoor gatherings. Is your deck and/or patio ready to entertain guests?
With mild daytime temperatures and cool evenings, it is the perfect time to invite friends over for outdoor gatherings. Cookouts or relaxing around the fire pit is what many people long for during the summer days. Those days are now here. However, many may not be ready, because they put off 
scheduling a pressure washing appointment.
Now, go and look at those outdoor surfaces and make a note of what you see. Does your deck or patio have ugly stains? Is it green or black where it shouldn’t be green or black? If the answer is yes to either question, know that these dark areas can be more than the difference between a beautiful home and an unsightly house. And while these stains are detracting from your home’s beauty, the real problem will come is a few short years. Those stains can cause expensive damage and cause health concerns, because they are caused by harmful elements. Those elements cause rot and may even be a health hazard.
Such contaminants need to be pressure washed away sooner rather than later.
The average lifespan of deck materials is between 15 and 20 years. Unwanted element buildup can take years off that lifespan. And, we have yet to find anyone who wants to spend thousands of dollars on a new deck, because of neglect. Clean your deck now and save big bucks in the long run!
Patio cleaning is important too, but more because of looks and again, the potential health concern. Hardscape that is professionally cleaned can look beautiful again.
The Solution to the Problem
The pressure washing experts at Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD have years of training in the proper cleaning of deck materials and hardscapes. Many people think you can just “blast away” grime on patio blocks and concrete, but that’s a bad assumption. Block can break under 
intense water pressure and concrete can easily scar. This damage costs lots of money to fix. It could cost nearly one-third of the price of the deck.
And don’t hire just anyone who claims to have a “pressure washing business.” Amateurs can do a lot of harm and disappear quickly with your hard-earned money.
Complete Power Wash‘s pressure washing experts use the softwash approach. Softwash ensures your deck and/or patio will be cleaned safely and thoroughly. Softwash is a combination of gentle water pressure and environmentally-safe detergents. This approach is the best for cleaning with little to no threat of damage to wood, composite decks or patio materials. Our techs are trained to clean the right way with the right products.
The techs will also give you a proper assessment of your other building materials that may be in danger of a shortened life due to harmful element buildup. Click on these links to see how we clean with our house washing, roof cleaning and deck and patio cleaning services.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
We at Complete Power Wash hope you and your family have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!
Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer. We hope it is the beginning to a more normal part of 2020. We know this time can be a hectic time of year. It’s a great time to make a pressure washing appointment before the holidays — and cold weather — arrive. We still have openings on our books for roof, siding, fence and brick/concrete cleaning at residences and businesses.
Labor Day
Interesting Facts About Labor Day: Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate workers. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty U.S. states officially celebrated Labor Day.
The holiday honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Labor Day is on September 7th this year in the U.S. Canada’s Labour Day is also celebrated on the first Monday of September. More than 80 countries celebrate International Workers’ Day on May 1 – the ancient European holiday of May Day – and several countries have chosen their own dates for Labour Day.
Labor Day Quotes
“Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” – Aristotle
“Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” – Thomas Edison
“Without labor nothing prospers.” – Sophocles
“Nothing ever comes to one that is worth having except as a result of hard work.” – Booker T.

As Summer Ends, the School Year Begins
As the summer season winds down, the school year begins in the greater Hagerstown, MD area.
As summer ends, the back-to-school rush is starting, well at least in a strange kind of way, because of COVID-19. Nonetheless, it will be a busier season with restrictions easing; classroom and online learning beginning; and the general business of fall in the Tri-state area. Parents are ready for a break, but probably not ready for fewer daylight hours and the coming end of the calendar year. We at Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown want to 
try and help. First, here are some links to planning for a return to school and having fun in fall, while still playing it safe.
Secondly, we want to remind you of our cleaning services, because we know you don’t need one more thing on your to-do list. Contact us now and schedule a pressure washing appointment with us, a professional cleaning company. We pressure wash — or softwash — just about anything around the house. And, we do it the right way, because no one wants damage or a worse looking house after paying for an exterior cleaning. Our techs are experts in the softwash technique, which is the combination of gentle water pressure and the right cleaning detergents. These environmentally-friendly cleaning agents will not harm your home or your landscaping.
Just imagine how beautiful your house will look after the Complete Power Wash techs finish cleaning. Many homeowners don’t even realize how dull their house looks, until they see the finished product. Many homeowners never pay close attention, because mold, mildew and grime build up gradually. They can’t even see the change from when they moved in years ago. Most of our customers love to walk across the street and look back in amazement after the cleaning.
Our Pressure Washing Services
Complete Power Wash techs are the local pressure washing experts in house washing, roof cleaning and deck and patio cleaning.
You will love the way your home looks after our house washing service. We will get to the root of the problems that cause the growth in the first place. That problem is usually a moisture-induced fungus that needs to be neutralized through such a cleaning process. The result is a clean house now and one that will stay cleaner for much longer than a typical cleaning.
Our roof cleaning service is very popular, especially for those that don’t like heights. If trees provide shade for your roof, they likely provide dirt and grime on the shingles. We will softwash the roofing materials to bring back beauty and life, which can be shortened by the elements breaking down 
shingles. The damaging black streaks will be gone. The uneven coloring will be even again. And yes, you will think you just paid for a new roof – at a fraction of the cost.
Once the home’s siding and roof are clean, hardscape surfaces, which didn’t look so bad at first, now show their ugly side. We can safely pressure wash sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches, decks, fences and just about anything else that can get dirty. And if your property is marred by graffiti, we can remove it. Studies show that removing such destruction, leads to fewer incidents.
