Residential pressure washing is a process that uses a high-pressure stream of water—often mixed with a chemical cleaner—to wash the outside of a house. This maintenance strips away dirt, mildew, mold, algae, and other contaminants from the siding, driveway, walkways, and patios of a home. If you've been contemplating washing your house, below are a few benefits to do it this fall, before the snow arrives.

3 Reasons the Fall Is Perfect for Pressure Washing

1. Mild Weather

If you wait too long, it may be too late. If you pressure wash during fall instead of waiting until winter, you don't have to worry about freezing temperatures. A sudden cold spell after a pressure washing procedure can freeze your siding and exterior trim. This results in streaking, and it could completely upend your attempt at improving curb appeal. Have the home washed while the temps are still mild.

2. Prohibit Staining

If untreated for too long, mold, mildew, and algae will stain your siding. Since you likely won't perform much outdoor maintenance this winter, you should clean away any contaminants while you can. Otherwise, dark spots where mildew and algae have flourished will become permanent. They will likely remain visible until you replace the siding.

3. Prepare for Painting

If you've been putting off repainting your house, do so before winter. Snowfall, sleet, ice buildup, and windstorms wreak havoc on a home, especially if the paint is peeling and leaving it vulnerable to moisture. Pressure washing is a significant first step in the repainting process and is necessary to remove loose paint, surface dirt, bird droppings, and mildew so the new paint can adhere.
