Why Power Wash? The Benefits of Power Washing Your Home

Changing filters. Cleaning out air ducts. Aerating and overseeding your lawn. Chances are, you already follow annual maintenance schedules for your home in order to keep it running efficiently and looking beautiful. A task that should top your list? Power washing. 

Considering that your home is your largest investment, family sanctuary, and your most visible expression of yourself in the neighborhood, the cost of incorporating power washing into your routine is quite small. Here are some “powerful” reasons to schedule a professional power wash.

Home Maintenance

Power washing removes dirt for a sparkling new look, but what you may not know it also prevents  algae, mildew, and mold from creeping under your siding and leading to extensive damage. As your home’s first defense against the elements, siding takes a beating, picking up grime and stains throughout the seasons. In the case of siding with ridges, stains can become deeply embedded in the material. The only way to get it completely clean is through professional power washing.

The good news is that regular power washing extends the life of your siding—a small investment to make compared to replacing your siding several years prematurely. 

Health Maintenance, Too!

All that buildup of gunk can damage much more than your home. Algae, mold, and mildew can become airborne contaminants that lead to allergies or asthma-like symptoms when inhaled. Protect your family’s health by stopping these toxins before they even have a chance to take hold. Power washing stops them in their tracks. 

Neighborhood Beautification 

Prioritizing a clean, beautiful home isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses. It’s about doing your part to make the neighborhood a fresh place and a source of pride. Beautiful homes are also contagious—the more people maintain their properties, the more others follow, adding to the pleasure and monetary value of living in the neighborhood.

Of course, the family you should impress the most is your own. Imagine pulling into your driveway to a gleaming home that looks like new. Power washing costs a lot less than buying a brand new house, not to mention takes a lot less effort than moving. Treat yourself to a “new” house every year without having to lift a box!
