Why power wash my home?

 

Power washing your home could seem like an extravagance if you’re not aware of the benefits, but in reality, it should be a part of every homeowner’s maintenance routine.

Your home’s exterior is exposed to harsh elements all the time; that’s it’s job! Natural conditions like sun, wind, dirt, ultraviolet rays, insects, birds –  not to mention things like acid rain, smoke, pollutants and car exhaust – constantly take a beating on your home and contribute to its soiling, discoloration, and damage.

Power washing is the most effective and efficient way to clean your home’s exterior and safeguard your investment, your time, and your family’s health.

​

#1 – POWER WASHING PREVENTS DAMAGE

 

Moisture during the winter can cause serious damage and stains to your home’s exterior surfaces. If you allow the grime to stay on your surfaces, or the stains to sit for long periods of time, permanent damage can result. Mold damages painted surfaces and concrete coatings like cool concrete if left unchecked for long periods of time. Mold actually feeds on the paint and finishes, therefore, removing them.

Crevices are especially susceptible to the accumulation of dirt, algae, and grime, while mildew and mold thrive in shaded areas and can grow unchecked for years if not properly taken care of.

#2 – MAINTENANCE SAVES MONEY

Buying a house is an investment that needs to be protected. The price of any sort of maintenance in addition to a mortgage and other bills can seem hefty if you don’t think of it as necessary maintenance that safeguards your initial investment and saves you a lot of money down the road. A little preventative maintenance can go a long way towards keeping your property’s value and avoiding costly repairs. By making pressure washing a part of your consistent maintenance routine, you can take years off of an older home and keep it looking new for years to come. It’s also the most cost-efficient way to wash your entire exterior.

Plus, power washing is actually a lot less expensive than refinishing or repainting. If you are repainting, however, power washing is a critical first step for getting your house ready.

#3- PROTECTS YOUR AND YOUR FAMILY’S HEALTH

Speaking of dust and mildew, these things could not only be affecting your home’s appearance but your family’s health as well. All the dirt, grime, and mildew that accumulates on your home’s exterior surfaces can be dangerous. Removing them yearly with a pressure washing helps keep you and your pets from getting sick.

More than 20 million adults and 6 million children suffer from seasonal allergies in the U.S. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), some of the most common allergic triggers are pollen, mold spores and dust mites, all of which are washed away by power washing.
