Step 6 {of 6}: Power Washing

The Benefits of Power Washing Your Home

Power washing your home can go a long way toward enhancing the overall condition and appearance of your property. Power washing may seem like an extravagance to many homeowners, but there are many benefits associated with including it as a part of your regular maintenance routine. With that in mind, here are the most notable benefits of power washing your home.

Property Maintenance

Let’s face it – every home exterior is exposed to a year-round beating. Over time, a host of external contaminants and weather conditions will accumulate. This will cause dirt and stains to build up on the exterior surface of your home.  If left untreated, this build-up can become hazardous. Walkways and stairs can become slippery and dangerous to navigate, especially when wet. As a homeowner, how do you prevent this from occurring? Regular power washing is the answer to keeping your home in tip-top shape!
 

With the help of a regular pressure washing plan, you can cut through layers of grime and restore your home to its previous, pristine appearance. Power washing removes the layers of grime and refreshes the look of  both stone and wood. A little preventive maintenance like annual power washing can keep new homes from deteriorating, and take years off an older home’s appearance. Having a regular power washing program helps to safeguard your initial investment for the long term.

Boost Curb Appeal

With a professional power wash service, you can quickly improve the look of your patio, deck, and walkways as well as their safety. Our power washing tools will safely lift away mildew and grime which often makes for slippery surfaces. In fact, you can improve the overall appearance of your home and turn years back on the clock to help your property look brand new. This can be a great way to restore your home’s beauty to its former glory and also welcome potential homebuyers to discover its beauty and charm.

Power washing your home can also be a great way to show off your property’s architecture and help it stand out from all the other properties in the area! In just one day, you can increase the market value of your property and restore its shine for a solid return on investment when selling the home. Remember – taking care of the outside of your home and keeping up with exterior maintenance can all add up later down the road if/when you decide to sell it.

Prime Exterior Surfaces

If you intend to have your exterior home repainted, power washing can be a great way to prime the surface. This ensures that the paint adheres completely to the surface of the wall. Since paint adheres best to clean surfaces, the result will last much longer, as compared to uncleaned surfaces with years of accumulated dirt and molds.

Power washing a driveway’s surface can also be beneficial. It can help remove oils and debris that would hide or impair further repair work such as sealing of cracks. This is a crucial step many homeowners choose to ignore until too late! Always consider power washing before beginning any such repair or home renovation. The outcome will be far better, and with less risk.

Fewer Home Repairs

By removing layers of dirt and grime that cause deterioration to the surface of your home, you can protect your property and reduce the likelihood of unexpected repairs. External factors like sun, insects, smoke, car exhaust, acid rain, and other pollutants constantly take a beating on your home’s exterior surfaces. These harsh elements can result in permanent damage and discoloration if left unchecked for long periods of time.

Allowing things to deteriorate on the exterior of your home can lead to leaks and general rot inside the home as well. The overall cost of repairing untreated contaminants can be higher than having a regular maintenance and cleaning schedule. Furthermore, aside from improving the condition of your home, regular pressure washing can also minimize the possibility of infestation. A regular power washing program will prevent bugs and insects from making their homes inside your property.

Improves Health

One of the most notable benefits of pressure washing is that it can help to improve the health of those who live on the property, particularly those individuals with asthma or other respiratory problems. In fact, according to a recent study published by the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, more than 20 million adults and 6 million children suffered from seasonal allergies triggered by dust mites, mold spores, and pollen.

All of these contaminants are easily washed away with pressure washing and with regular maintenance they are never give the chance to grow. This reduces the number of allergens in and out of your home to keep you and your pets from getting sick. Professional power washing can also help prevent slips and falls in areas where mold, grease, and other substances might develop.

Time Saver

Regardless of how large your home is, a professional power washing service can be an incredibly convenient way to clean your property with minimal time and expenditure. Hiring a professional company with the proper power washing euquipment is also a far more efficient way of cleaning the surface of your home. Instead of spending days scrubbing away layers of grime and debris by yourself, our teams can take care of most homes in a single day.

Professional pressure washers can clean four to five times faster as compared with a person using a regular garden hose and/or manual scrubbing. It also reduces the overall amount of labor and manpower required for the cleaning project–saving you both time and energy in the process.
