Should I Power Wash My House Before Selling It?

Are you contemplating putting your home on the market this spring? Do you want to increase your odds of selling your home quickly? If you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, then you need to get your home power washed before you put it on the market.

Curb appeal is such an important part of selling your home and attracting potential buyers. Today’s home buyers are not just looking for properties that are easy to shop for and in nice neighborhoods. Often times, they want a property that they can literally move into without a lot of work or hassle. If you think about it from their perspective, it totally makes sense! Moving is a lot of work. Anything you can do to help make your home look ready-to-go will help to make the sale.

Outdoor appeal is the one item that will get buyers in to take a closer look. A professional cleaning will help to remove mold and mildew on your home’s surfaces, giving it a fresh, clean look. Additionally, your can expedite the sale and boost the resale value of your home with pressure washing. Cleaning siding is just one area that you can take advantage of. By having the siding professionally pressure washed, any dirt or mold or mildew that may be growing in it will be removed, restoring your home’s siding to a like-new condition.

Another area you can have cleaned is your roof. Over time, roofs can develop black streaks that are as a result of a form of algae that feeds off of your roof materials. Not only is this bad for your roof, but it is unsightly. Before you put your home on the market, have your roof treated, which will restore the shingles and let buyers know that you have cared for your home and there is no reason to anticipate needing a new roof anytime soon.
