The power washing brand provides a long list of professional, safe and eco-friendly services that clean building exteriors without causing structural or aesthetic damage. Renew Crew’s roots go back to 1993, when it was founded under the name Wood ReNew. Wood ReNew was focused on one major goal: to provide customers with a better way to keep their outdoor structures clean and protected. Founder Stan Krempges started off by developing a wood-friendly and environmentally safe cleaning foam and later worked with leading coatings chemists to develop an eco-friendly protectant. The concept soon caught on, and the brand began to award franchises less than 10 years later in 2001. In 2012 the company was acquired by Outdoor Living Brands, which added more services and changed the brand’s name to Renew Crew. In January 2020 Renew Crew was acquired by parent company Premium Service Brands, which also has five other home service franchise brands under its umbrella: 360 Painting, Handyman Pro, Kitchen Wise, Maid Right and ProLift Garage Doors. Unlike other power washing companies, Renew Crew does not use caustic acids, chlorine, damaging pressure levels or any other chemicals or systems that can harm the materials used in someone’s property or landscaping. The brand’s products and techniques work on just about any surface, including brick, stucco and vinyl. Furthermore, the products used are safe for adults as well as for children and pets. “Renew Crew was founded on the idea that there had to be a better way to clean outdoor surfaces,” Premium Service Brands Vice President of Marketing Samantha Lin said. “The result was a brand that highly valued utilizing advanced products that would do a thorough job while also protecting the surrounding landscape and home residents. Today, Renew Crew is proud to service customers in 13 states through our 29 active units.” Renew Crew’s services include cleaning and protection for wood, concrete, siding and pavers and hardscape. The brand also offers pressure cleaning for residences and commercial buildings as well as gutter cleaning and protection. Renew Crew can even service log and cedar homes thanks to its use of an exclusive chlorine-free formula that removes mildew and mold embedded in wood. These services are completed through a signature three-step process: a pre-soak foam followed by a power clean and then topped off with a protective finish. “At Renew Crew, we believe in saying ‘Yes’ to customers and assuring them that we can take care of their homes regardless of the building material,” Lin said. “Our eco-friendly products are designed to clean any home while also preserving structural integrity and not disturbing the nearby landscape. They also appeal to our environmentally conscious customers.” Renew Crew is also passionate about maintenance, which is why customers have the option to sign up for the brand’s recurring service, Everclean . Customers who sign up for Everclean get a twice-yearly maintenance on their home, which helps maintain and extend the life of outdoor surfaces and further protects them from the elements. “At Renew Crew, we believe in creating long-lasting relationships within our communities,” Lin said. “Some homes require more maintenance than others, but all of our customers keep us top of mind for their exterior power washing needs. We’ve formed wonderful relationships with our customers and communities, and we are excited to expand into new markets in 2020.” Thanks to its utilization of eco-friendly products, focus on long-term maintenance and variety of services, Renew Crew has seen success for almost 30 years and will continue to make waves with environmentally focused customers in 2020 and beyond. ## Entities - 1851 Franchise (publication) - Home Services (sector) - franchise expansion (topic) - home services (topic) - Premium Service Brands (company) - Maid Right (company) - 360 Painting (company) - ProLift Garage Doors (company) - Outdoor Living Brands (company) - eco-friendly services (topic) - power washing (topic) --- Originally reported by 1851 Franchise (https://1851franchise.com/renew-crew-uses-proven-and-eco-friendly-methods-to-make-residential-and-commercial-exteriors-sparkle-like-new-2712910).
