If you're new to owning a home, you'll eventually need to remove the grime buildup off the siding, gutters, and other exterior surfaces of your house. You can do it yourself or hire a professional power washing company in New Jersey for house washing service. Either way, you don't want to let the grime, and any possible algae or mildew, stay on the surfaces for too long.

Over time, that buildup can ruin paint finishes, dry out or damage the wood, or cause damage to the siding. Plus, it's not a healthy environment to be exposed too. Unfortunately, algae, mold, and mildew can quickly spread to other surfaces like fences, docks, and decks in humid climates.

Many of our customers in New Jersey are new to homeownership, so we wanted to share a little information with those who are about house washing, why getting it done professionally is a good idea, and when to get it done.

The Difference A Professional House Washing Can Make

Our pressing washing professionals understand what it's like to want to do things ourselves when it comes to doing tasks around the house. After all, it's not free to hire a house washing professional instead of handling a job yourself. Therefore, we wanted to point out a few things for you to consider before you make that final decision to take on a DIY house washing project.

• Longer lasting results - Professional house washing will most definitely provide you with longer-lasting results than any DIY methods you can try, simply because we have the training, certification, commercial equipment, and skill to accomplish the job.
• A deeper clean - The house washing techniques our particular company uses include a combination of commercial cleaning solutions we know how to mix for the best results in lifting and removing grime and stains. Offering the best results is why we've spent hours and hours training and investing in the right equipment.
• A safer clean - It depends on the technician, but we can tell you that our house washing methods are safer to use on siding, gutters, and other surfaces than other methods. It's the only method recommended by siding manufacturers. DIY projects and amateur service can and have caused damage to people's siding and voided the warranty.

When To Get House Washing Service

You can get a professional house washing service anytime you like. However, too much may not be a good thing either. Since the results last longer if you have it done professionally by an experienced technician who uses the right cleaning solutions, you should only need it seasonally at the very most. Most often, every six months is about the right amount of time between washings, but it does depend on the following.

• You'd like a seasonal house washing to keep your house looking great and algae free.
• Storms or rainy weather have been frequent and have led to more grime than usual.
• Algae is growing on your siding and other exterior surfaces.
• Irrigation stains are turning the lower part of your home orange.
• Gutters are rusting and leaving stains down the siding.
• Because of the location, your house is getting covered in road grime or dirt road dust.
• You haven't gotten the house washing done in over a year.
• Your home is located near a factory or manufacturing plant.
