Schools Off to a Good Start, Whatever Will You Do With Your Spare Time?

Written by: Julie Keating

It is hard to believe that school is already back in session. The summer always flies by so quickly. If you are like most parents, however, over the summer your duties can fall by the wayside. If you are finding that you have more time than you did just a few short weeks ago, make the best use of it by committing to those home maintenance needs that are surely needing you. These are some of the best reasons why now is an excellent time to hire a soft washing company!

Your Exterior Material’s Longevity

When it comes to outdoor extremes, Aiken residents have seen it all. It has been a long, record-breaking, hot summer. We’ve also had our fair share of storms and humidity. When it stays humid for weeks, the exterior of your home can start to grow mold, mildew, and algae. Now is a perfect time to remove it. If you allow mold and algae to build up without addressing it, it can lead to things like facia and wood rot. Soft washing your home will help to increase your exterior’s longevity and reduce the risk of damage.

Slippery Conditions

Mold and algae aren’t just hurting your siding and fascia boards; they can be causing slick walking conditions. By soft washing your driveways, sidewalks, and walkways, you can reduce the risk of a slip and fall injury. Slippery conditions due to dirt and grime build-up can put you, as the homeowner, in jeopardy. Soft washing will also help to keep your family and passersby safe!

Curbside Appeal

As you look around Aiken, you will likely see a sea of green, and not just in the landscaping. Nothing can make your home look more rundown and in need of care than dirty windows, roofs, and siding. If your curbside is anything but appealing, contact us and make your neighbors green with envy instead, of your exterior green with yuck.

Extend Your Roof’s Lifespan

Roofs in our area take a lot of insult. If it isn’t the extreme heat and humidity; it’s dealing with storms,. As we head into fall, now is not only an excellent time to soft wash your roof to reduce algae and mildew build-up that can lead to roof damage, but it is a great time to have your roof inspected for wind, hail, and high winds. If your roof is too dirty to see it well, it might well be hiding some damage that also might be covered by your homeowner’s insurance. Get it cleaned up so that you can really get a good look at it!

Allergy Suffering Lessened

All of the mildew and mold that accumulates on the exterior of your home will soon make it’s way inside. As the heat starts to move out of the area, opening your windows wide to air things out is welcomed. It won’t be very welcoming, however, if you also let in the allergens that will circulate in your home making allergy suffering insufferable. By soft washing your windows, siding, and around your house, you can do away with those nasty allergy-causing things so that you can breathe more easily well into the fall and winter.
