Extend the life of your home. Those black streaks that start appearing on our roofs and siding are unsightly and slowly eat away at our homes over time. Routine power washing can extend their lifespan greatly depending on the conditions and moisture of your location.
Keep yourself safe from allergens. Mold, fungus, mildew, and algae are all allergens that can worsen your outdoor experience and even trigger symptoms indoors if the growth spreads from your roof to the inside of your attic.
Improve curb appeal. After a power washing, your home will look brand new again!
Boost 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 a few extra degrees as a result.
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 as a result of avoiding routine maintenance.
