Power washing is more technical than high pressure water coming out of a hose. Power washing technicians are diligent in using the proper water pressure and mixture of cleaning agents to clean, restore and protect your home, deck, driveway, walkways and even your car.
A yearly cleaning of your home will help prevent corrosion damage, get rid of any impossible to reach spider webs and breathe fresh life into any structure. This maintenance will save a homeowner money in the long run, preventing them from having to replace siding, bricks or stone.
According to the National Association of Realtors, a freshly power washed home increases its sales price $10,000$15,000. So be the brightest house on the block and receive praise from your HOA for doing your part in making your neighborhood a place where everyone wants to live.
If you are looking to paint your home or another structure, a power washing treatment beforehand will prime your surface, making less work for you or your painting professionals. Power washing can also help with smaller jobs, like shutters or front porches, before painting.
At the start of spring in North Carolina, when everyone has spring cleaning fever, invest in power washing your deck and patio to wash away the dirt and mud that this long, rainy winter has left behind. The results will blow you away and you can really enjoy your yard in the coming months.
Power washing a deck also helps expand its longevity, helping avoid wood rot and warping from deck planks. If you have a concrete sidewalk or path, power washing can remove salt deposits and other dirt that can lead to surface weathering. It can also clear any mildew or moss that has crept its way onto your path.
For a small business owner, especially one in a downtown where there is a lot of traffic and grit, a power washed storefront is an easy way to attract customers without the backbreaking effort of scrubbing it yourself.
Power washing is easy for both the customer and the environment. When cleaning agents need to be used, they are usually natural chemicals that won’t harm any plants or walkways around your home. Because of the high velocity of the water that comes out of the power washer, it can save almost 75% of the water than if you used a regular hose to attempt to do the same job.
Power washing also saves you time. There’s no need to get out the scrub brush and buckets and spend hours on your hands and knees scrubbing when a proper power washing job can clean up even the most serious stains in a matter of minutes.
So, if you own a home or a business and are looking to paint, sell your home, plant a garden, spend time in your yard — or any other number of things — a power washing service could save you time and effort while making your life luxuriously clean.
