Let’s face it, we are all busy in this day and age. We’re circling only to realize that the exterior of his house looks like something out of a horror movie. Notice that its roof is green, its siding is green, its terrace appears to have a rug, and its driveway is black. If you’re looking to sell your home, all of this can really affect your sales price.

We all want to get the most out of the sale of our home, but how? The average homeowner doesn’t know what they can effectively pressure wash or if the substrate needs to be replaced. A prospective buyer may tell you that I am offering this price because the roof and siding need to be replaced. When it can actually be cleaned.

All of this can be daunting. What should I clean first? Can I pressure wash that? Should I use this chemical I found at the hardware store? To properly clean your roof and siding, specialized equipment and chemicals are needed. A pressure washer from Home Depot just isn’t going to cut it.

To properly clean a roof, you need to use a low pressure (gentle wash) system to clean. A gentle backwash system uses low pressure, about the same amount as a garden hose, but a larger volume of water. Never use high pressure or a surface cleaner to clean an asphalt roof. A professionally cleaned roof can make the dirtiest roofs look like new again.

With all the different types of siding out there, one must be very careful if they are going to use pressure to clean their siding. A proper home wash uses low pressure and lets the chemical do the work. That’s on everything from brick to vinyl siding. Additionally, when using commercial grade chemicals, appropriate steps must be taken to prevent damage to the surrounding landscape.

Now let’s go to the carpet, I mean your terrace. It is best to start by removing everything from the cover. If there is a thick layer of moss, I recommend starting by using a high ceiling blower to remove the moss. The next step is to apply a mold and mildew remover. Let it sit and then rinse it off with light pressure.
A professional pressure washing company can take your property from the worst looking house on the block to the best in a matter of a day. By doing all of the above, you can add thousands to your selling price and put more money in your pocket.
