How Often Should I Professionally Wash My Home?

House washing

In most cases, treating your siding to professional house washing once a year is generally sufficient for enhancing your home's appearance and keeping dirt and grime at bay. However, there are several other factors that may warrant a more frequent wash, and it's important to keep these in mind when making the best decision for your property. Take a look at the list down below to learn a little more, and if you have any specific questions about our services, feel free to give us a call today!

Here are a few reasons why you may need additional house washing throughout the year:

  • You live in an area that sees a lot of inclement weather. Storms can cause a lot of damage to the exterior of your home, even if they just kick up a lot of dirt and grime onto your siding.
  • You live in an area that's dry, dusty, and windy. This combination can lead to a lot of dirt buildup throughout the year, leaving your home looking less than desirable.
  • You live in an area that sees a lot of sunshine. Sunny weather is great, but prolonged sunlight can cause uneven discoloration and detract from the look and feel of your home.
  • You're looking to repair or renovate your siding. Professional house washing is a fantastic way to prime the surface of your siding for minor repairs or the smooth application of a fresh coat of paint!

House washing is one of the most common pressure-washing services requested. It's also a fragile cleaning process that requires knowledge of high-pressure and low-pressure techniques due to the degree of staining house siding can accumulate as well as the fragile nature of house siding, which is usually comprised of vinyl. Southern Exterior Solutions LLC's professional technicians know the process for safely washing fragile house siding without any damage to the exterior surfaces.

The house washing procedure is a mostly simple process that relies on cleaning detergents and low-pressure washing. Our technicians will lather the siding area with basic detergents, allowing it to soak and the dirt and grime to unbind. For areas with more extensive dirtying, we will increase the pressure slowly, being careful not to use force that could damage the vinyl or paint.

Exterior Home Surface Cleaning Pros

As your home stands strong in the face of the elements day after day, it's inevitable that it'll get a bit messy over time. Algae and mildew grow in humid areas, pollen, dirt, and grime build up all over your exterior walls, and animals make a mess in the form of bird droppings, cobwebs, and wasps nests. While this mess doesn't make a big impression at first, if left to build up, it will eventually make your home look gross and unkempt. Plus, it's not very good for your sidings' longevity!

With a little elbow grease and a lot of TLC, we'll gladly take care of your home's exterior, not stopping until the property is perfect. Our focus is on the customer before all else, and we would be happy to perform our house washing according to your specifications, going above and beyond to meet them every time.
