Why should I clean the exterior of my home?

Dirt, grime, lichen, mold and mildew on the exterior surfaces of your home can create for some unsightly and unhealthy conditions. Cleaning your home can make it look nicer, brighter and more inviting. Here are some benefits to cleaning the exterior of your home.

Increase the Longevity When you regularly maintain a clean and healthy-looking home, it lasts much longer. You may not see it, but your home is being damaged by the dirt, dust, and grime that attaches to it. These things build up and eventually deteriorate the property, therefore reducing its value. Attacking these problems when they first arise will not only keep your house looking fresh and new, but you’ll also spend less money repairing or replacing damaged areas.

Increase Curb Appeal First impressions say the most. Your home says a lot about you. By keeping a clean and tidy exterior, people will instantly be more intrigued by the person behind it.

Lower Utility Costs

A clean exterior will keep the energy bills down by removing the algae, dirt, dust, grime, and lichen that is absorbing the sun and keeping that heat inside during the summer, making your air conditioning unit work harder.

Protects You and Your Family's Health

Dust, dirt, mold and mildew could not only be affecting your home’s appearance but also your family’s health. All the dirt, grime, and mildew that accumulates on your home’s exterior surfaces can be dangerous. Removing them yearly helps keep you, your family and your pets from getting sick.
