St. Augustine pressure washing results on a 2 and half year old home

We recently completed pressure washing a St. Augustine area home and the owners were delighted at how bright and fresh their relatively new home looked.

When the homeowners contacted us, they expressed concern and surprise at how dirty their home’s exterior had become. Even though the house was only 2 and half years old, it was already showing significant mold and mildew on the eaves and columns. 

And while they could not clearly see it, the dark green stucco siding also had issues, particularly in the shadowed areas where the sprinkler system tended to mist moisture along the sides.  

The Jacksonville area is ripe for exterior home deterioration like they were experiencing

• Beach on one side
• Wooded areas on the other
• The St. Johns river flowing through the area
• Extreme weather conditions during the day: hot and sunny in the morning, monsoons in the afternoon (not to mention the consistent humidity)

With all these harsh elements at play, even new homes don’t stand a chance staying new looking for long.

After seeing our results, the homeowners were convinced that annual home pressure washing would be beneficial. And I put them on a schedule to pressure clean their home next year.

What a difference pressure washing makes on a recently built home

Eaves Cleaning

Most people never look up to see what their eaves look like. In fact, these homeowners never even realized how bad their eaves were looking.

Front Column Cleaning

Of course, they were very aware of how dirty their front columns were. They were very happy with how the columns looked when we were done.

Driveway cleaning

The area where the driveway met the garage tends to puddle during heavy rains. The homeowners were concerned about the mildew build up. We took care of that (and suggested installing gutters to prevent future issues).

Preventative maintenance can save you money on future costly repairs

This the primary reason you should get your home pressure washed. Unfortunately, it’s not the number one reason people call us. Preventative maintenance is not always on the top of people’s minds.

Pressure washing should be a regularly scheduled home maintenance event just like a once a year termite pesticide application. Exterior washing of your home can extend the life of your home siding, concrete driveway, porch or sidewalk and wooden areas like your deck and fence. When done at least once a year, pressure cleaning can eliminate contaminates that contribute to rot, decay and premature aging of your home’s coating and building materials. Quite simply, pressure washing services can add years of life to your property and save you money on costly repairs.

Curb appeal can add value to your home

This is the primary reason people call us for pressure cleaning. Obviously, unsightly stains and mildew on a home can be a depressing sight. You’ve made a major commitment in the purchase of your home and you want it to look good. Pressure washing can breathe new life to your home. Many of our customers were originally looking to repaint or replace unsightly areas, which would have incurred major costs. Once we power cleaned their homes, they were amazed on how new everything looked, and the money they had saved.

For those looking to sell their home, consider the value of curb appeal.

According to John Aust, president of the National Association of Real Estate Appraisers, “a good first appearance on a home can add as much as 5 to 10 percent to the value of the home.”

Pressure washing is considered to be one of the most affordable ways to increase your homes value.

Safety and health of those who live in or visit your home

You’re surrounded by contaminates that pose risks to your health. Dirt, mold, mildew and oil are the primary culprits that can create safety and health issues around your home. Pressure washing can help protect your family from intrusion of mold and outside allergens. Additionally, power cleaning the walkway and driveway can help protect your family and visitors from accidents like slipping on oil or mildew. In tree covered areas like those found in Mandarin, Avondale, Arlington, Orange Park, Middleburg and the Westside, mildew and algae can grow on the damp and shadowed sidewalks surrounding your home.

One of the reasons we like to visit homes before giving a free estimate on our washing service is that we can help you fully understand the benefits you’ll receive, including the money you’ll save in the long run.
