Keeping the exterior of your home clean is important for both its look and value. Keep the house free from grime and other substances with regular power washing.
What Can Be Power Washed?
Different surfaces and materials require different methods of cleaning. Here's a closer look at what can be cleaned:
Roofs
Roofs are targets for algae, mold, and mildew. If you notice any black streaks on your shingles or tiles, it can be a symptom of Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on roofing material and should be removed ASAP.
Exterior Walls and Siding
The exterior of a house usually gathers dirt, pollen, and grime over time. Pressure washing comes in to remove such stains on houses with stucco, vinyl, brick, or painted surfaces without ruining the material's integrity. In most cases, soft washing is preferred for more sensitive surfaces, going deeper into cleaning without chipping or peeling paint.
Driveways and Walkways
Driveways made of concrete, brick, and pavers absorb oil stains, tire marks, and dirt. High-pressure washing will remove those tough stains and give it a fresh appearance, allowing a beautiful entrance to your home. For added protection, we can also seal driveways to act as a barrier against staining and wear.
Fences
Both wood and vinyl fences will show stains. Power washing restores their color and removes the accumulated grime. In the case of wood fences, a gentle wash helps preserve the natural grain while eliminating mold that may cause rot.
Gutters
Clogged and dirty gutters look bad, but they can also cause drainage problems. Power washing removes the debris that may potentially harm the foundation of your home from water. Cleaning your gutters helps to keep the flow of rainwater and reduces the chances of leaks and erosion around your property.
Screen Enclosures and Lanais
These include screened-in patios and Floridian lanais, which accumulate dust, spiderwebs, and mildew. Pressure washing keeps these enclosures looking fresh and prevents the buildup of substances that may weaken the piece of cloth after some time.
