Every home seller wants to get the fastest sale and the best price possible, which usually means giving the property some TLC. While repainting the walls and trimming back trees are important, power washing is essential for helping your home look its best. Below are a few reasons to invest in pressure washing before putting your house on the market.

3 Reasons to Pressure Wash Before Selling a House

1. Preparing Exterior Surfaces for Fresh Paint & Sealer

If you’re planning to repaint the siding or stain the deck before selling, power washing will deliver the best results. Otherwise, built-up grime and dirt can cause problems with the finish or create uneven layers. Treating your deck with a water-resistant sealer after pressure washing will let buyers know the property has been well-maintained.

2. Enhancing Curb Appeal

The exterior is the first part of your house potential buyers see, setting a tone that affects the rest of the tour. Even if you don’t plan on repainting, pressure washing removes stains and algae that can make your entire house look rundown.

Pressure washing can also reveal rotted wood and other damage that can drive buyers away and pull down your property value. Finding these problems early gives you a chance to have them fixed before putting your house on the market.

3. Making Amenities Look Their Best

Decks, patios, and other outdoor features are powerful selling features, so it pays to make them look their best. Power washing enhances the beautiful natural grain of the wood, blasts mildew away, and gives everything a fresh, new appearance buyers will love.
