Once summer officially rolls around, most of us want to relax. We would rather get our chores and spring cleaning done ahead of time so we can enjoy our time in the sun. But as spring comes to an end, what else should you accomplish in preparation for summer? If you haven’t pressure washed your home in a while, now is the time! Here are five reasons why power washing gets your home ready for summer.
1. Remove Dirt, Mold, and Mildew
The main goal of pressure washing or power washing your home is, of course, to clean it! But you don’t just want a surface level shine. You want to clean deeply to remove all the grime, bacteria, and possible mold that has accumulated over the winter months. Power washing has you covered here. With its added heating component, a power washer will blast away any unwanted material stuck to your home’s exterior. Be careful of the heat and pressure level you’re using, of course, as you risk damaging your home.
2. Get Your Home Ready for Hosting
One of the best parts of summer are get-togethers with friends and family. If you enjoy hosting these events, you’ll want your home to look its best both inside and out. Pressure washing is an important step in freshening up your home’s curb appeal, as is hiring painting services. Be the best host you can be this summer!
3. Prepare for Painting!
If your home is in need of exterior painting this season, pressure washing should be part of the equation. Failing to clean your home before painting it will result in a less durable paint job, as the paint will have a harder time adhering to the surface. The professional painters at All American Painting Plus will pressure wash your home’s exterior and let it dry before we begin painting.
4. Stay Ahead of Summer Weather
Compared to the winter, summer weather in most regions is typically milder and less destructive. That said, the summer months come with their own environmental hazards, such as intense sunlight, heat, heavy rains, storms, and more. While you can’t avoid every bout of bad weather during the summer, pressure washing your home will at least hit the reset button on your home’s exterior. In other words, if you don’t clean your home, any bad weather during the summer might exacerbate the problems you already have, such as mildew or bacteria growth. To avoid costly repairs, consider pressure or power washing your home so that it’s in the best shape possible for whatever conditions come your way.
5. No Better Time for Power Washing
Perhaps you’ve been putting off pressure washing your home for a while now. If so, there’s no better time than now to get the job done. The late spring and early summer usually yields calm, temperate weather conditions, meaning you’ll have more opportunities to thoroughly clean your home’s exterior. And while you’re at it, you can hire exterior house painters to add a new coat, since this is also one of the best times of year for exterior painting.
Summer is here! Make sure your home is in prime condition for the season and all its festivities.
