When winter makes way for spring and summer, we tend to spend more time outside. If you have outdoor surfaces, such as a patio, deck, or porch, you’ll be vested in keeping them clean and ready to entertain or bask in the sun on a warm summer day. Kessler Construction & Remodeling understands this desire to maintain a clean and uncluttered home, inside and out.

As Greater Cincinnati’s leading quality construction and remodeling company, Kessler Construction & Remodeling has a few tips to offer when it comes to the care and cleaning of your home’s outdoor surfaces.

• Consider the material. Is your deck made of wood or composite? Has it been treated? Is your patio made of stamped or patterned concrete? The type of material it is made from will determine the best way to clean it. For some surfaces, such as steel or aluminum siding, certain equipment or cleaners may damage them. It’s best to check with a professional if you’re uncertain.
• Equipment. Many surfaces can take a good cleaning from a pressure washer. Pressure washing utilizes a jet-setting spray to remove dirt, mud, mold, and other elements from surfaces. You can always buy or rent a pressure washer yourself. But it can be hard work, especially if you’ve never used one.

• Weeds and debris. Certain surfaces, like concrete, will have weeds sprout from cracks or edges. This can get overrun if they are not maintained. Keeping debris and dirt off of surfaces can also ensure they last longer and will help you see any cracks or areas that need repair.
• Protecting surfaces in the future. If you have a deck or patio, you’ll more than likely have a BBQ or grill, patio set, and maybe even some house plants. It’s imperative that you protect these surfaces, like ceramic tile, from the elements and constant usage so that the money you’ve put into your home is never wasted. By using the right cleaning and sealing agents, mats or outdoor rugs, and covers for grills, you’ll extend the life of your outdoor surfaces.
