Why Should You Avoid Delaying Your Roof Cleaning and House Washing?
Don’t delay roof cleaning and house washing for your Falls Church, 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.
