Summer is the perfect time to give your property a fresh, clean look. And what better way to do it than with a professional power washing?
According to a recent survey, 43% of homeowners made renovations on their home or planned to last year. When it comes to keeping your home in tiptop shape, we suggest you don’t neglect the exterior.
With longer days and warmer weather, now is the ideal time to tackle those outdoor cleaning projects—here are 6 of them!—that may have been waiting all winter.
1. Your Home’s Exterior Siding
Your home’s siding bears the brunt of weather year-round, collecting dirt, mildew, and stains that regular garden hose cleaning simply can’t remove. Professional power washing can safely clean vinyl, wood, brick, and fiber cement siding without causing damage. The high-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions remove built-up grime, restoring your home’s original color and protecting it from long-term damage.
2. Driveways and Walkways
Concrete and asphalt surfaces are magnets for oil stains, tire marks, and general discoloration. Professional power washing can remove:
- Oil and grease stains from vehicles
- Tire marks and rubber residue
- Mold and mildew in shaded areas
- Salt stains from winter treatments
- General dirt and debris buildup
A clean driveway and walkway look better and also provide safer, slip-resistant surfaces for your family and guests.
3. Decks and Patios
Wooden decks and stone patios endure constant exposure to the elements, leading to algae growth, staining, and weathering. Power washing removes these contaminants and prepares surfaces for staining or sealing. For composite decking, professional cleaning restores the original appearance without the risk of damage that improper pressure settings might cause.
4. Fencing
Fences, whether wood, vinyl, or metal, accumulate dirt, mildew, and weather stains over time. Professional power washing can revitalize your fence, making it look new again. This is particularly important for wooden fences that may need staining or painting afterward. A clean surface makes for better adhesion, and it can provide longer-lasting results.
5. Outdoor Furniture and Equipment
Don’t overlook your outdoor living spaces. Professional power washing services can clean:
- Patio furniture and cushions
- Grills and outdoor cooking equipment
- Pool decks and surrounding areas
- Gazebos and pergolas
- Children’s play equipment
6. Roofs and Gutters
While not all roofing materials are suitable for power washing, many can benefit from professional cleaning. Tile, metal, and some composite roofs can be safely cleaned to remove moss, algae, and debris. Clean gutters also function better and prevent water damage to your home’s foundation.
Why Choose Professional Services?
Professional power washing companies have the equipment, cleaning solutions, and know-how to get things clean without causing any damages (that can sometimes happen with DIY efforts). A professional company knows how to treat different surfaces, and they can also spot problem issues before they turn into expensive headaches.
This summer, think about getting professional power washing to give your property a fresh look and also to protect your home investment.
