When is it Time for 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.

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 roof cleaning and hose washing can extend their lifespan greatly depending on the conditions and moisture of your location.
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.
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!
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.
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.
