Benefits Of Power Washing Your House

Regardless of what climate you live in the exterior of your home is constantly exposed to the harsh elements nature throws at us. Over the years this exposure will degrade the wood, leave wear marks, discoloration of paint, and oxidation. If this is left unkempt for a long period of time it can have detrimental effects on the value of your home.

Aside from the rain, dirt, and grime that is left on your siding insects, mold, and mildew if left unkept will erode the paint eventually affecting the siding. Along with nature's elements, there is always the pollutants humans are leaving on the earth such as smoke, car exhaust, and acid rain. Over time the accumulation of these natural or unnatural toxic substances will degrade the facade of your home. Below I will list the various benefits of using a professional window cleaning or power washing service to assess the state of the siding of your home.

Benefits of power washing your home include:

1. Increasing your property value- choosing a professional power washing service can be a very cost-effective means of raising the value of your house. It will give greater curbside appeal with newly washed an improved siding. After all first impressions are everything, especially when showing off your home to a potential buyer. Prospective home buyers would rather not have to worry about cleaning or replacing siding when looking for a house. Having a house that is move in ready will attract more buyers in the long run.
2. Protect families health- with all the grime, mildew, and algae accumulating on the side of your house over the years proper power washing is always a good idea to benefit your house and loved ones. Normally mold and mildew outside your house isn't a problem but if they're wafting through any cracks in your siding it will create all sorts of problems for you and your family. These problems are much more apparent if you or someone you live with has asthma.
3. Prevent costly repairs- by regularly power washing the outside of your house you will be preventing the degradation of your siding adding on years to the lifespan of your siding. The frequency you decide to wash your siding will determine the lifespan of paneling. Keeping up on maintenance will reduce the need to repair or replace the outside of your home.
4. Cleans mold and mildew- we recommend inspecting your siding regularly to prevent mold and mildew from becoming a problem in the first place. There is always a greater risk of mold growing if you live in more humid climates such as Florida. We recommend clearing branches from your house that create great areas of shade as these are perfect places for mold and mildew to flourish. Places that are hot, humid, and have limited exposure to sunlight should be inspected on a regular basis.

It is one of the most cost-effective means of improving the value of your own home, especially if you are trying to sell in the near future. Remember first impressions can make or break a deal.
