When is it Time for a House Washing?
Any sort of new growth on the surface of your home is a sign that you should consider scheduling a house washing. If you notice black spots, green growth or discoloration on the surface of your home, you are likely seeing mildew, algae, bacteria, mold, or a mixture of each. If these substances are left to continue spreading, they can begin to attract pests and wear away at the surface. Instead of letting these effects worsen over time, Great Falls, VA residents should eliminate them entirely with a house washing.

Why Should You Avoid Delaying Your Roof Cleaning and House Washing?
Don’t delay roof cleaning and house washing for your Great Falls, 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 can be 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. Mold, mildew, fungus, and algae are allergens that worsen your outdoor experience. If they spread from your roof to your attic, they can even trigger symptoms indoors.
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.
