I have a quote, but just looking for several others. Porch will need pressure washed and stained. If anyone has someone in mind, please recommend them. Thanks!

Greer. As far as me doing it on my own, I'm a very non-handywoman I guess the quotes I'm getting aren't high for the power washing but for the time to stain the porches. I don't have the time to do that.

Not sure how big your porch is but there is a really easy way to clean the porch without a pressure washer. Costco sells deck cleaner (so does Lowe's) that is basically just a 'spray on and leave it' cleaner. It takes a couple days and sometimes needs a second application, but it's basically put on via a normal garden pump sprayer (Lowe's also sells those for around $10). As far as staining, it seems like it will take a long time but it goes fast. Our deck is 14x25 and I've stained it every 2 years since we've had it built 7 years ago and it takes around 2 hours.
IMHO, pressure washing a deck is a great way to ruin a deck, or at least shorten it's life by a lot.
I lived in a rental for years where the landlord came out every year and power-washed her beloved deck. It just got rougher, weaker and less safe (boards breaking, creaking, nails popping out etc.) each time. The thing was trashed when we moved out.
