will home depot let you rent a small pressure washer?
Any idea the cost?
Answer
Hmmm this is weird it is the opposite here..Home depot does not do Rentals and Lowes does...but if neither one does in your town Sherwin williams paint store does..You have an option of half day or full day rentals..but here is a clue for you..if you find a place that rents them aand are not open on Sundays ..go in on Saturday early and ask for a one day rental...Due to them being closed sunday it is not returnable untill monday..they do not charge if they are not open..I have seen this in 99% of any rental places I have used and I am a 37 year experienced painter..so I have rented them many many times...

Answer
Most rental yards have pressure washers. Its been a long time since I rented one. I would expect to pay $40-50/day. It hooks up to a regular garden hose. The only concern is if your well has enough gallons per minute for the washer to work properly. As a painting contractor I pressure wash many houses and decks every year. My big pressure washer is rated for 4 gallons per minute, my smaller one is 2.5 GPM. Before I hook it up I time how long it take the hose to fill a 5 gallon pail. If it takes longer than a minute I know not to use the bigger machine.
I don't recommend the rotating tip for beginners. Its true that it can do the job faster but it can do lots of damage if you are not careful. Sometimes the rotating feature gets stuck and leaves you with a narrow high pressure stream. Play it safe and use a 25 or 40 degree fan tip. Keep the water moving without stopping in one spot. That can cause damage if the water gouges the wood.
Most of the houses I work on have well water. I find about 1 in 10 don't have enough flow to use my 3500 psi, 4 GPM machine. I have only found 1 where I couldn't use my smaller washer.
