You may not give much thought to your home’s exterior until a layer of grime has built up. Luckily, power washing can refresh the appearance of your house. However, did you know it offers several additional benefits as well? As such, here are the top reasons why painting contractors recommend power washing your house. 

Why You Should Power Wash Your Home 

1. Increases Property Value 

Houses that have been sitting for a while oxidizing and collecting dust can lose value due to a dirty and damaged exterior. To increase the value of your property, consider power washing the exterior of your home. If you’re planning to sell the house, a painting contractor can help clean the walls and siding before planning new paint for a fresh, clean look. 

2. Boosts Curb Appeal 

A clean home looks much better from the street than a dirty one. Without spending a ton of money on renovations, pressure washing can add plenty of curb appeal to your home. Remove years of grime and buildup from walls, windows, and siding, and increase the house’s value.

3. Prevents Damage  

Regularly scheduled power washing can be an excellent form of preventative care for your property. By removing dirt buildup, you can prevent rotting and mold. Regular washing can also prevent stains and lengthen the life of your exterior paint and trim. Hiring a painting contractor now can save you more later by preventing these issues.

4. Protects Your Family’s Health 

Dust, mildew, and other airborne pathogens can cling to the exterior paint of homes and cause allergies and illness. Removing the buildup on the outside of the house can significantly reduce sickness for both family members and pets. 

5. Primes Surfaces for Painting 

If you’re considering painting your home, your painting contractor may recommend power washing the exterior to get rid of dirt first. Washing the walls can also strip the protective sealant off so the new coat of paint can adhere more easily.
