How Often Should I Power-wash My Home?

Keep your home pristine by
power-washing at least once
 yearly and enhance your curb
appeal for everyone around.

This is a common yet important question to answer. Part of owning any house is keeping it in good condition, meaning that a time will come when you will have to power-wash the house exterior.

Power-wash on a regular basis to keep the home clean. A good schedule will keep your home's value up and prevent damage from long-term dirt build-up, and also keep your neighbors happy with you!

To power-wash a house does as much for the look of a home exterior as gardening.

Once you call around to a few professional power-washing companies, they will probably come up with an appropriate schedule for you and this is a good idea. There is no one general rule for frequency of power-washing, but a good general guideline is yearly. Many other factors will affect whether it should be more or less often than this, but some of the most common variables are what material the exterior is made of and the area the home is located in.

• The materials your home's exterior are made with is important because, for example, one made of stone or concrete will be able to withstand much more often power-washing than say, one that features a lot of wood.
• The environmental setting around your home is important because those who live in area where there are a lot of trees or that is prone to lots of dust and mold may need to power-wash the house twice a year or more.

Tips on Choosing a Pressure Washing Service

Make sure the professional
pressure washing company
is  guaranteed!

You know that pressure washing is a vital part of home maintenance. It can keep your home looking beautiful. It makes steps and porches more attractive and safer. It can keep your roof from decaying prematurely.

But knowing the benefits is only half the battle. Now that you are convinced of the need to hire a pressure washing service contractor, you need to sift through the phone book full of services to find the right one.

Here are some tips for choosing a pressure washing contractor that will leave you happy:

• First of all, you can usually trust word of mouth references. If you have friends and family nearby that have had a good experience, ask them who their pressure washing service was. Internet searches help too. Try to make sure that you get at least 2 positive or negative reviews before making a decision. Any one can do an occasional good job or have one off day.
  
• Once you have a list of a few companies with a good reputation, it's time to make some phone calls. Be sure to ask if the company is properly insured. Not only does this protect your home and family in the case of an accident, but it also shows that the company is professional. Speaking of professional, a good test is to see if the company will give you a quote over the phone. A professional will want to give an estimate in person after looking at the job.
• Experience matters. Ask how long the company has been in business. Also, make sure that the person who will be coming to your home is experienced. A business could be decades old, but send you two new guys who don't know what they are doing yet. New workers have to learn, but they should be paired up with an experienced person.
• Check on the cleaning agents used. A good service should at least be able to offer you an Eco-friendly alternative if you want one. Some services now exclusively use “green” cleaning products. It's not only good for the planet but also safer for your family, pets, and garden.
  
• Finally, ask if there is a guarantee. You should be happy with the service that you receive. A professional service will be confident enough in their work to provide a guarantee in writing along with the estimate.

Pressure washing is an important part of maintaining your valuable investment.

By properly vetting the service you choose to use, you can be sure to be happy with the end result.

Why Pressure WashingYour Home Prior To Painting Is Important 

Reasons For PressureWashing Your House 

Pressure Washing is the Simple Way to Maintain Your Roof

Always make sure you
have a leak proof roof!

A leaky roof can be one of the most frustrating things for a homeowner. It can cause a great deal of damage inside the home. It can also be tough to see where the leak is coming from. Completely re-roofing the home can cost a small fortune. 

The far better option is to keep up with preventative maintenance.

Then you can enjoy the full life expectancy out of your shingles. A part of that preventative maintenance should be pressure washing. How can pressure washing your roof potentially extend the life of your shingles?

One of the things that cause damage to shingles is mold. It is fairly common for mold to grow on the roof of a house. After all, the roof is designed to get wet in bad weather. That's what it is there for – so that the moisture stays outside of your home. Unfortunately, that same moisture makes the roof a breeding ground for mold. The mold, in turn, can weaken the shingles until the roof no longer performs its proper function. How does pressure washing help?

A professional pressure washing service can clear away mold and other debris that can damage your shingles.

The pressure washing itself is safe for the roof. An experienced professional will know the right cleaner to use and the right pressure level for the water to clear away the debris without harming the shingles. In fact, some services today offer a green cleaning solution that is Earth-friendly and doesn't use any chemicals that will be harmful to your family or pets.

Don't let mold live rent free on your roof and shorten the life of your valuable investment. Pressure washing is safe, effective, and affordable.

There's really no reason to keep from taking care of this maintenance on a regular basis. It's certainly a lot cheaper than having to replace the roof. And while you no doubt have insurance that could take care of the damage from a leak, it is far less stressful to maintain the roof properly than to have to have construction people in your home and maybe even have to replace furniture or other home furnishings that get damaged.

So what are you waiting for? If you have mold on your roof, it is time to call a professional pressure washing service to take care of the problem before it creates a larger issue.
