You’re probably fully aware that the outside of your home is constantly exposed to harsh elements. On a daily basis not just natural elements but also man-made ones attack the surfaces causing them to degrade, discolor, oxidize, or chalk overtime. As a result your property will lose value and it won’t look as good as it did when you first got it. Some of the worst natural elements include ultravio
let light rays, wind, rain, dirt, and grime. Nature also takes a toll with insects, birds, spiders, wild winds, mold, mildew, algae, and tree sap, leaving their mark on your house. There are man-made marks such as pollution, car exhaust, acid rain, and even smoke from your barbecue can cause the outside of your home to need a little TLC. You will notice over time, if you haven’t power washed your house lately then these natural, and man-made, substances may accumulate and make your house look like a downright mess. Worse yet, if you leave it too long, you’ll destroy the long-term beauty of your property dramatically, resulting in the loss of value on your home. Let’s go into the benefits of power washing your house:
Pressure Washing Saves Money:
First and foremost, power washing is smart preventative maintenance, like gutter cleaning, for all exterior surfaces and can prevent costly repairs to your property. Furthermore, power washing is one of the least expensive cleaning tools for large surfaces such as your home’s exterior. Pressure washing should actually be seen as a regular preventative maintenance task for your home. Without it, many homes are vulnerable to damage from rot, mold and mildew growth and other environmental conditions that can lead to costly repairs and health risks. The lifetime of your siding, and any other outside surfaces can significantly be reduced if not taken care of and allowed to build up with contaminants. Mold, Algae and Mildew:
These are the three biggest factors to make your house look rundown and it could cause health complications. Living in a coastal climate means we are more susceptible to mold, mildew, and algae. These will grow more rapidly in our climate. They will grow on just about any surface like brick, siding, glass, concrete, etc. We are professionals at removing these from your house and other areas. Your Family’s Health:
Mold spores can sneak into your home through cracks and exposed areas, so cleaning the exterior on a regular basis will reduce your chances of having a mold problem. Mold spores on the exterior of your house can enter through cracks, windows and improper installed siding. If mold does reach the inside, symptoms like headaches, loss of concentration and blurred vision can affect you and your loved ones. Whether you realize it or not, you and your family are possibly breathing in toxins that have accumulated on the exterior of your home; which can have serious repercussions on your health. The longer it sits there, the more potential a health hazard it is for your family. There is also the chance of mold spores and other bacteria being tracked inside, causing additional health risks. Furthermore, when footpaths containing oil, algae, mildew, dirt residue get wet, they become slippery and unsafe to walk on. Pressure washing preserves your paint job:
It is much more cost effective to clean your house annually, rather than have your house painted every few years. Painting most houses starts at around $3,500.00. Pressure Washing a house starts at $250.00. Most homeowners don’t realize how dirty their property truly is until we clean it. After it is professionally cleaned, the house looks almost new again. Remove spiders and cobwebs around the house:
You might notice cobwebs accumulating around windows, under eaves, and any other corner where they are likely to catch some juicy bugs. This is not good for the curb appeal of your home. A good pressure cleaning will remove all spiders and cobwebs from the exterior of your home. Even if your spiders are not a hazard to humans, such as the Red Back spider in Australia, it is never a nice feeling to walk through a cobweb that sticks to your face and hair. Curb appeal can add value to your house:
You wouldn’t try to sell a dirty car, why would you try to sell a dirty house? We can help you add value to your home by simply cleaning it! Pressure washing is considered one of the most affordable ways to maintain or increase the value of your property. According to the National Association of Realtors, a pressure washed house will increase your property value by $10,000-$15,000. That’s not bad! If you’re looking at selling your home in the near future, then increasing the curb appeal by power washing it will definitely increase interest and make great first impressions. Your house will look very attractive without any mildew and mold, which would probably increase the number of people putting in offers.
Pressure Washing your house, periodically, is one of the best investments you can make. It will prolong the life of your paint and make your house look like new again!
