Powerwashing: Shiny!

Feeling grimey-ish after all that spring sap and pollen?

Heading into a long summer of barbecues and hanging in the yard with friends and family?

Looking for a simple and effective way to spruce up the look of your home and enhance its overall value?

Look no further than powerwashing your home's exterior! Giving the exterior of your home a thorough cleaning works wonders, aesthetically and socially. Join as we explore how cleansing our home's exterior can increase our sense of joy with our home while increasing the financial value of our property, which is typically one of our biggest financial assets.

1. Aesthetics: Enhance the Beauty of Your Home

Over time, dirt, dust, pollen, and other debris accumulates on the exterior surfaces of our home, leaving it looking dull and lackluster. By cleansing the exterior, we reveal the true beauty of our home's features. A fresh and clean exterior instantly revitalizes the appearance, making it more visually appealing to you, your guests, and when it’s time, also to potential buyers.



2. Mood Enhancement: Feel Great in Your Clean Space

Studies show that a clean and well-maintained home can have a positive impact on your mood and overall well-being. Coming home to a pristine exterior can create a sense of pride and joy, providing a welcoming and uplifting environment for you and your loved ones. The cleanliness and freshness can contribute to a positive mindset and a greater sense of satisfaction with your living space.



3. Increased Property Value: Make Your Home Stand Out

When it comes to real estate, first impressions matter. The exterior of the house is the first thing potential buyers see providing “curb appeal” and a clean and well-maintained exterior can significantly increase its perceived value. By cleansing your home's exterior, you can make it stand out from the rest, attracting more interest and potentially commanding a higher selling price. It's a cost-effective way to maximize your property's value without significant renovations. A clean and well-maintained exterior and deck is a reflection of your commitment to overall property care, leaving a positive impression. By investing in pressure cleaning, you safeguard your property's value, ensuring that it remains attractive and desirable for years to come.



4. Extend the Life of Your Deck

A clean home and deck instantly boost your property's curb appeal. Pressure cleaning effectively removes dirt, mildew, algae, and other stains that can accumulate on your deck, making it appear worn and unattractive. By investing in regular pressure cleaning, you can revive the original vibrancy and color of your deck, giving it a fresh and inviting look. Moreover, pressure cleaning your deck furniture eliminates stubborn stains and grime, allowing you to enjoy clean and comfortable outdoor seating.



5. Maintain a Healthy Environment

A clean exterior including the deck and deck furniture contribute to a healthier outdoor environment. Mold, mildew, and algae growth not only look unsightly but can also pose health risks to you and your family. These organisms can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems. Pressure cleaning effectively eliminates these potential hazards, ensuring a safe and hygienic outdoor space for you to enjoy.

How to Clean Your Home's Exterior

Now that we know about the benefits of cleansing our home's exterior, let's explore some effective methods for achieving a fresh and rejuvenated look:

Pressure Washing: Utilize a pressure washer to remove dirt, grime, and stains from surfaces such as siding, decks, driveways, and walkways. Adjust the pressure settings and use appropriate cleaning solutions for different materials to avoid damage.

Hand Scrubbing: For more delicate surfaces or areas that require extra attention, hand scrubbing with a brush and mild detergent can be effective. This method allows for targeted cleaning and ensures thorough removal of stubborn stains.

Window Cleaning: Don't forget about the windows! Clean windows add sparkle and clarity to our home's exterior. Use a window cleaning solution and a squeegee or microfiber cloth to achieve streak-free results.

Gutter Cleaning: Clear out debris from gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage and prevent potential water damage. Use gloves, a ladder, and a garden hose to remove leaves, twigs, and other obstructions.
