Power Washing Adds Value to Your Home for Sale

2012-01-25T04:30:00.000-08:00

Your home's value can decrease when the structure begins to look unattractive and worn. A good pressure washing can increase your home's market value.

It looks good for the house and your neighborhood and will maximize your home's market value.

A thorough pressure washing of the exterior of your home will leave your house free of mold and mildew and will make paint adhere better, if you decide to paint prior to selling.

Why Should I Hire A Pressure Washer?

Pressure washing is a much more skilled trade than most realize. First, pressure washing is a real job, real work and real dangers. Pressure washing takes a great deal of know-how and experience. If a person puts 3000 or 4000 pound per square inch of water to a soft surface without being properly trained, the least that will happen is that a homeowner will spent a bunch of money on repairs.

Remember the benefits of a professional pressure washed home:

remove dirt, grime and fungus from your home
dramatically improve the appearance of your home
increase the value of you home

A.L. Pressure Washing does not end with the wash, however, as we also offer painting and staining services for decks, porches, patios, stairs and the house itself (interior and exterior).

Maintaining our homes is an important task and often helps us feel content in our surroundings, but you want to be certain you understand what professional house painter does – and doesn’t – do, and how they operate before you allow them access to your home.

Finding residential house painters who are licensed, insured and committed to excellence is important to receiving a quality paint job on your biggest investment--your home.

Check out companies at www.bbb.org before signing a contract and discuss the following:

What are your credentials, experience and training.
Are you insured.
What is the process and preparation. Gain a clear understanding of what they do and how they go about doing it.
How you can best prepare for a professional to come to your home. Find out specifically what the painter needs from you (you may need to commit personal time to get your home prepared for the process).
Be clear about your budget and do not sign any contracts until you fully understand what is or isn’t included in the service.
Get clarification on what their services include, for example, purchasing of supplies for the organization process.
Ask for an estimate on how long the projects you have in mind will take to complete. Inquire about what might change/modify the timeline.

The Importance of Exterior House Prep Before Painting Your Home

2012-01-10T20:20:00.000-08:00

A. L. Painting recommends that if you have a
house with any hardie plank product,
you spray-paint the hardie plank product,
and hand brush all the woodwork.

Extensive preparation to the exterior surfaces of the home is required when considering the desired results of exterior house painting.

While spray painting the exterior surface is appropriate, some home owners consider brush exterior painting for a lustrous, rich finish that is hand applied by a exterior painting professional.

How We Prep Your House For Professional Exterior Painting Results

    • Pressure wash the entire exterior
    (removes loose and peeling paint, mold and mildew, dust and pollen)
    * Please allow a day of full sun to ensure complete exterior drying
    • Cracks and holes are filled in and sanded smooth
    • Remaining peeling paint is hand scraped
    • Bare wood is primed by hand
    • Shrubbery, plant beds and flowers are covered for protection
    • Windows and decorative doors are covered with plastic sheeting

The truth is, exterior painting is not where you want to cut corners. Using anything less than a high quality paint and premium painting supplies could make your home vulnerable.
