What are the benefits of power washing your home? There are many benefits to power washing or pressure washing your home so why don’t we cover at least a couple of them.

The very first reason is the one that probably comes to mind first for most people. Quite simply, your beautiful home looks. . . well, just MORE beautiful when it’s super clean. When you go to a party or a wedding you make sure your tux, suit, or dress is clean and pressed. For you to look amazing, the clothes have to be clean and pressed. In a similar fashion (no pun intended), your home is simply going to look amazing when it’s professionally cleaned. Heck, it’s even going to SMELL fresh and clean! So there you have it, reason #1 to get your home professionally power washed or pressure washed. By the way, whichever professional you hire should be soft washing your home even though he is using what we call a power washer or pressure washer (I commented on that in a previous post and our Web site has additional details on the subject).

What does this stained shirt have to do with getting your home power washed or pressure washed?

Maintenance. What do I mean? Let’s take that suit/dress illustration again. Imagine you are wearing your favorite suit or dress and then you get an amazing red wine sauce on it. Oh no! What is the first thing you try to do? Grab a napkin and some water and dab it out. Why? Because you and I know that if it “sets in” then the stain becomes that much harder to remove. That same principle applies to your home, especially if it has stone, brick, stucco, or other similar materials. Leaving any staining for too long can make it that much more difficult to restore to it’s original condition. Also, if you happen to have cedar shingle siding or other type of wood siding, algae and mildew growth can literally and permanently damage the wood if left untreated.

​So there are two reasons to get your home cleaned with power washing or pressure washing (please, please, please refer to my comments on soft washing. I know the terminology can be confusing, but a power washer in the hands of the wrong person can do tremendous damage to your home).
