When is it Time for a House Washing?
If you start to notice greenish/ brownish or black growth on the exterior of your home, it’s safe to say you should consider a house washing. These substances are most likely, algae, bacteria, mildew, mold or even a little bit of each. Not only does this reduce curb appeal, but the substances can also attract pests and begin to wear away at the surfaces they rest on.
When is it Time for a Roof Cleaning?
Ultimately, there is a good chance that growth is beginning to spread to your roof if it has already appeared on the exterior of the rest of your home. When determining how often you should clean your roof, we recommend keeping these key factors in mind:
- Amount of rainfall
- Amount of shade surrounding your home
- Accumulation of debris
- Accumulation of snow
Why Should You Avoid Delaying Your Roof Cleaning and House Washing?
Don’t delay roof cleaning and house washing for your Annandale, VA home! Here are five reasons to schedule your home’s power washing with Shine Select now:
Maximize the life of your home’s exterior. The black streaks that start appearing on our roofs and siding are unsightly in the short term and slowly wear away at our homes in the long term. Routine roof cleaning and house washing can extend their lifespan greatly depending on the conditions and moisture of your location.
Stay allergen free. Fungus, mold, mildew, and algae are all allergens that worsen your outdoor experience and can even trigger symptoms indoors if the growth spreads from your roof to your attic.
Boost curb appeal. After a power washing your home will look as perfect as it did the day you moved in.
Improve your homes’ energy efficiency. Roofs and exterior walls are the main heat absorbers in a home, so if your home’s exterior is dirty or dark, it will absorb more solar energy from the sun and heat up your home as a result.
Homeowner’s insurance compliance. In most cases, homeowner’s insurance covers damage to roofs. However, insurers may not cover the damage to a roof if they believe that it was only caused by neglect or avoidance of routine maintenance.
