Pressure Washing and House Washing Your Cape Cod Home
Cape Cod’s proximity to the ocean is why many of us choose to live here. While our location has its advantages, it can also pose problems to your home’s exterior.
Exposure to high winds and the salt air leaves your home’s vinyl siding or cedar shingles susceptible to damage and can exacerbate the normal wear and tear caused by time. That’s why house washing is important for the health of your siding.
House Washing Benefits
For most clients, we recommend a light washing as an effective, safe, and efficient approach to cleaning your home’s exterior. We use a mild solution of water with a minimal amount (5%) of bleach to clean your home quickly without damage.
It is imperative that the solution is removed entirely so it does not react with future paint or stain projects. Unlike larger companies, we steer clear of "pool shock," which can cause significant damage to Cape Cod shingles.
Pressure Washing Benefits
When done right, pressure washing removes dirt, debris, mold, mildew, and insects, making your home’s exterior look as good as new. It is ideal for dirty jobs where standard house washing will not suffice.
Pressure washing is particularly effective for red cedar roofs, white cedar sidewalls with heavy mold/lichen, and decks. It removes the layer of dead skin cells on the wood, restoring it to a pristine condition.
