When is it Time for a House Washing?
If your home has any combination of black spots, green algae-like growth, or discoloration, it is time for a power washing. Most likely, those substances are mildew, algae, bacteria, mold, or a mixture of each!
When the conditions are right for any of these substances to grow, which they often are here in Burke, they absolutely will continue to do so. In the short term, that means homeowners must deal with infestations promptly. In the long term, your home and the areas surrounding it can easily become damaged and weathered.

Why Should You Avoid Delaying Your Roof Cleaning and House Washing?
Don’t put off power washing your Burke, VA home! Here are five reasons to schedule your roof cleaning and house washing with Shine Select Today:
Extend the life of your home’s exterior. The unsightly growth we notice on the exterior of our homes can actually slowly eat away at their surface over time. Routine power washing can extend their lifespan greatly depending on the conditions and moisture of your location.
Boost curb appeal. After a morning or afternoon of power washing, your home will look the best it has since the day you moved in!
Keep yourself safe. Mold, fungus, mildew, and algae are all allergens that can worsen your outdoor experience. If left to grow, they can even trigger symptoms indoors assuming growth spreads from your roof to your attic.
Homeowner’s insurance compliance. Homeowner’s insurance usually covers damage incurred to roofs. Damage may not be covered if your insurer suspects that it only occurred in the first place by ignoring infestations or avoiding general maintenance.
Improve energy efficiency. If a home’s exterior blackens over time due to algae growth, it will absorb more solar energy from the sun and heat up your home as a result.
