Its the perfect time to wash off last years grime

Do you have your to-do list made? Or have you been handed a Honey-do list? The time to clean off last year’s grime is here and if you don't have pressure washing on your list, you're missing out. While it may take you days to clean your windows, gutters, roof, and siding, Pressure washing can take care of the entire outside of your home, from the rooftop to the driveway, in one session! This is a huge time saver and with much less personal risk to yourself climbing all over your home. Let’s go over why spring is the ideal time to have your home pressure washed.

The Spring air: Pressure washing uses water, so it cannot be frozen, or close to freezing outside or pressure washing will not work properly. Even power washers with heating elements need liquid water flowing into them, and so it must be above 40 degrees to do this work. Springtime is perfect, it’s cool outside, the water is melted, and the house will be able to dry without ice forming

Remove last year’s mess: Spring is all about renewal, we see flowers and buds forming on plant life, the weather warms back up, birds are singing, its great and its life at its finest. With a new year comes new changes and a proper 'out with the old, in with the new' attitude. Get rid of last year’s dirt with a pressure washing service like JCPowerWashingAkron. We blast away salt stains, dirt, dead leaves and sticks, mold, mildew and everything else that washes away.

Outdoor painting: Spring is a popular time for homeowners to paint their home exterior, shutters, stain fences, and make their house pretty again. To do all of this, you need a clean surface to ensure the best-looking outcome. Pressure washing is a fast, and affordable way (especially Akron's Most Affordable Pressure Washing Service) to clean surfaces to prepare them for upgrades!

Home buyers: Most people choose to move in the warmer months, spring, summer and fall. Spring being the first season, is when people begin to look for eligible homes. A dirty home exterior will not make the cut if you're trying to sell your home. Pressure washing will increase curb appeal and according to The National Association of Realtors, increase your selling value by 10x to 15x the price of the pressure washing.

It frees up time better spent enjoying life: Your time is valuable, and we cherish every sunny day in Ohio that we are granted. When done by a professional, pressure washing is fast, damage-free, and if done by JCPowerWashingAkron, highly affordable! We will knock tasks off your list so that you can prepare for bonfires, tiki nights, and outdoor grilling with friends and family.

So, what type of areas can we clean?

We have more information on our services page, but these are a couple of the major spots

Rooftops: Mold and mildew buildup will split shingles apart, break them down, and eat into your wooden beams. We blast these out of existence with our pressure washing services. We can even treat it against further organic growth with a chemical roof cleaning!

Wooden porches, decks, and fences: Wood is a delicate area to pressure wash, stains can be extruded from the wood when pressure is too high, and high pressure will also gouge out pieces of wood from your porch or fence, leaving eyesores. We know how much pressure to use to only clean off the grime and dirt, without hurting the wood beneath.

Siding: Siding is the most visible part of your home, and because building contractors tend to use light colors for siding, dirt and bugs show up, and show up from a long way off, so a potential buyer cruising by in their car can see every speck of dirt. It’s one of the main areas we recommend to power wash because it’s such a big, visible part of your home.

Driveways, walkways, and sidewalks: Having the harsh winters that Akron, OH gets, a lot of salt buildup accumulates, and this is particularly harmful to concrete. Pressure washing is a great way to remove these buildups! We even offer concrete sealing so that next winter will not further harm your expensive investment. We have an entire page dedicated to driveway protection where you can learn more about concrete sealants and how they help.
