Three top benefits of pressure washing your home
When you’ve been pressure washing homes for the number of years that we have, we’ve managed to solve a number of problems for our customers. Over the years, customers frequently ask us about the benefits of home pressure cleaning. Whether you live in Jacksonville, Florida, or at the beaches of Ponte Vedra and St. Augustine, there are always three pressure washing benefits we point out: preventation, home value, and safety/health.
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.
