Most people can handle their own to-do list inside their home, but how many of you have the time, ability, desire, or supplies necessary to wash your house and driveway?
Too frequently these outdoor chores fall to the wayside, when they’re imperative to your home’s well being and visual appearance.
Glass Geeks are here to offer you our top reasons why you should have a professional house wash.
Curb Appeal
Sadly, rain isn’t going to take care of the black streaks on your siding and roof. Everything from your deck and patio to your sidewalks, driveway, and even your roof and house siding can be expertly restored by our team of trained pressure washing professionals.
If you need to boost your curb appeal because you’re selling your house, then the condition of your home’s siding, patio and driveway are key points of emphasis. Why? Because these are the areas that will be under a microscope during an inspection and an open house.
A dirty, cracked, and moldy home does not sell. As with window cleaning, consistent pressure washing keeps your home’s wood, brick, concrete, and vinyl surfaces not only looking their best but keeps them in great working condition as well.
When you allow years of grease, grime, and dirt to cake onto and penetrate these surfaces you can be faced with irreversible damage that prospective home buyers will certainly notice. Potential homebuyers will want to envision themselves enjoying their new home, as opposed to moving in and inheriting a myriad of expensive fix-ups.
Get Rid of Mold, Mildew, and Algae
The green and black streaks you typically see on your siding and roof are not simply dirt or pollution; they’re rather mildew, algae, and mold. Not only can an untreated mold problem cause damage to your property, but it’s also harmful to your pets, family, and landscaping.
Mold and algae spread quickly and tend to feed off organic matter and moisture wherever it can find it. These substances will creep down your siding, into your fascia board, foundation, attic, and gutters. If you haven’t taken the time to thoroughly inspect your roof, you should do so immediately.
If you happen to notice black build-up on your tiles or shingles you should prepare to prevent further damage by opting for treatment.
If this build-up is left untreated, however, the issue will only persist and add onto the list of reasons you may need to eventually replace your roof.
Putting off your roof and house washing chores can significantly cost you, so it’s imperative to stick to them on a consistent basis.
DIY Pressure Washing is a Nightmare
Many do-it-yourselfers will dent and strip their homes this year with rental equipment in an attempt to go it alone and save some money.
The most common mistake DIY pressure washers will inevitably run into is applying too much pressure. This can dent your vinyl siding and tear up your roof shingles or tiles.
It’s easy to underestimate the power that a jet of water possesses, and, in addition to damaging your home, you could cause harm to yourself.
On the flip side, if you use too little pressure you’ll just be making everything wet, which does little to remove stains. Don’t waste your time guessing on a big job like this.
