Maintaining your home’s exterior is crucial for preserving its value and ensuring it looks its best. At Pacific Northwest ProWash, we specialize in providing top-notch services to keep your home in pristine condition. This guide will help you understand the importance of various maintenance tasks and how they can benefit your property.
Pressure Washing
The climate in the Pacific Northwest is the perfect breeding grounds for organic growth. We always implement a soft wash to sanitize your home’s exterior surfaces then pressure wash if necessary to unroot any major organic contaminants. This process prevents causing any unnecessary erosion to your property. We are able to clean any surface to brighten your property.
Benefits:
- Sanitizes and Protects: Regular pressure washing can sanitize your home’s exterior, removing harmful bacteria and organic growth that thrive in the Pacific Northwest’s damp climate.
- Enhances Curb Appeal: A clean exterior makes a significant difference in your home’s appearance, increasing its curb appeal.
Our Process: We use a combination of soft washing to sanitize surfaces and pressure washing to remove stubborn contaminants, ensuring no damage is done to your property.
Homeowner Tip: To maintain the cleanliness between professional pressure washings, use a garden hose with a spray nozzle to regularly rinse off dirt and debris from your home’s exterior, especially after heavy rain or windstorms.
Roof Cleaning
To ensure the safety and longevity of your entire roofing system, proper care and maintenance are essential.
Benefits:
- Prevents Damage: Regular roof cleaning prevents moss and debris buildup, which can lead to lifted shingles and leaks.
- Extends Roof Life: Our soft washing technique follows industry guidelines to ensure your roof is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized without causing damage.
Our Process: We start by removing large debris manually, then treat the roof with a gentle soap solution, ensuring all organic material is eradicated and your roof remains protected for years to come.
Homeowner Tip: Inspect your roof regularly for signs of moss or algae growth. If you notice any, try to gently remove it using a soft brush and water to prevent it from spreading.
Gutter Cleaning
Our gutter cleaning involves removing debris with either a leaf blower, with water, or by hand. Then downspouts are inspected to make sure everything is flowing properly.
Prevents Water Damage: Clean gutters ensure proper water flow, preventing overflow that can damage your home’s foundation and landscape.
Protects Your Home: Our thorough cleaning and downspout inspection ensure your entire gutter system functions optimally.
Homeowner Tip: Install gutter guards to reduce the frequency of gutter cleaning and prevent debris buildup. Regularly check your gutters, especially after storms, to ensure they are free of blockages.
Window Cleaning
Window cleaning is an essential part of regular home maintenance. It is recommended to do it a minimum of twice a year to prevent windows from accruing excessive buildup of debris.
Benefits:
- Crystal Clear Views: Professional window cleaning enhances the clarity and brightness of your windows, improving your home’s overall appearance.
- Safe and Effective: We use the latest equipment and techniques to clean your windows safely and efficiently, ensuring they are streak-free.
Our Process: Our team is trained to handle all types of windows, including hard-to-reach areas, ensuring a spotless finish every time using a water fed pole system.
Homeowner Tip: To keep your windows cleaner for longer, apply a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar to the glass and wipe with a microfiber cloth. This helps prevent streaks and repels dust. Microfiber clothes will be your best friend!
House Washing
Benefits:
- Brightens Exterior: Our low-pressure detergent-based wash removes dirt, algae, and other contaminants, brightening your home’s exterior.
- Protects Paint: This gentle method extends the life of your paint and keeps your home looking fresh.
Our Process: We apply a soap solution to your home’s siding, let it dwell for several minutes, then rinse it off with low pressure, effectively cleaning without causing damage. It further sanitizes the surface and will keep the area cleaner for longer compared to traditional pressure washing.
Homeowner Tip: Trim back any trees or bushes near your house to prevent them from rubbing against the siding and causing dirt buildup or damage.
Do’s
Hire legitimate contractors! You can check their license at https://secure.lni.wa.gov/verify/ This will keep you safe when you know they are licensed, bonded, and insured.
Make sure to check reviews of the company you choose to work with. Companies with a clear track record of success makes trusting a stranger easier when you can see how their customers feel about the services.
Work with a company you like and try to support local when you can. Yes, there are major corporations but local companies support the local economy and supply jobs to the residents of your area.
Do’s
DO NOT work with a contractor who is not licensed, bonded, and insured. IF they were to get injured on your property you could be held liable in court and spend many times what the service would have cost by having a professional do it the first time.
Do not work with brand new companies that have 0 reviews. They may leave you with a “tailgate warranty’ and you may never see them again. Be safe and responsible when hiring a contractor.
Yes, price is important, but do not hire based on price alone. We recommend with the company you liked. Factor in customer service, expertise, experience, convenience. Before hiring someone only on the price they give you.
Christmas Lighting
Christmas lighting can be a stressful time for everyone. BUT it doesn’t have to be! Did you know that Christmas light installation is a service you can pay for? You no longer need to grab the ladder out and stress about climbing on the roof.
Benefits:
- Hassle-Free: Enjoy the holiday season without the stress of installing lights. We handle everything from installation to takedown and storage.
- Professional Design: Our team provides professional-grade LED lights and custom designs to make your home shine.
