Benefits of Power Washing
There are many great reasons to power wash your home and it is best to do it in the spring after the cold winter. Here are some key benefits as to why you should hire us for power washing.
It Is Proactive Maintenance
Routinely power washing your home will prevent the buildup of mold, mildew and dirt. If left on your home for an extended period of time, this grime can cause your home's building materials to deteriorate. When this happens, you might need to replace the siding instead of just power washing and some repair. So, routine maintenance like power washing is important in keeping your home in good shape for years to come.
Prevents Major Damaging from Happening
Major damage to your home is the last thing you want to happen. Allowing dirt, mold and mildew to settle on the outside of your home can lead to deterioration on the outside and thus start breaking down elements on the inside. In general, the lack of power washing can lead to leaks and general rot to the home and its siding. If this happens, it can cost thousands of dollars to repair instead of the more affordable cost of power washing.
Protect the Health of Your Family
Mold and mildew, when not power washed off, can settle in and on the surfaces of your home. Mildew and mold are a common irritant for those who suffer from allergies and asthma and their presence can impact daily life. Power washing once or twice a year can be beneficial to easing some of these issues and lead to healthier living conditions.
Improve Curb Appeal
When you power wash your home, you are improving the overall curb appeal of it. Your home will look good and everyone living there will feel good about it, while also being healthier. When you keep up with some maintenance for your home, you are increasing your property value not only of the home but of the whole neighborhood. These are all aspects that will help you down the road should you decide to sell your home. Nobody wants to look at or buy a home that is covered with dirt, grime, mold and mildew. It could look amazing inside, but the outside is just as important when it comes to the value of a home.
Help Prime Surfaces for Painting
Before any exterior painting job, power washing is necessary. It will clean up the outside of the house so as to not trap any grime or dirt once the home is painted. Power washing will also clear off any old paint that is barely hanging on to allow for a smoother surface to paint on.
