Is Power Washing Needed For Your Blaine MN HOA Community?
Homes located in Ham Lake and Blaine MN will ideally be power washed every other year to ensure that they look their best. If you are part of a homeowner’s association (HOA), it may be even more important to lobby for regular exterior cleanings. This is because properties that have higher levels of curb appeal tend to have an easier time retaining their value. Let’s look at some of the other benefits of an exterior power wash and how our licensed, insured and bonded contracting firm can help you complete this task in a timely manner.
Power Washing Is Safe for Almost All Surfaces
Whether your home has aluminum, vinyl or wood siding, you can feel confident that it won’t be damaged during the course of a pressure wash. This is because the liquid that makes contact with your property stays at a consistent temperature. Furthermore, the folks at Schwartz & Sons Painting generally mix gentle materials such as soap, diluted bleach or diluted chlorine into the water used to wash a house. Therefore, dirt, mildew and other grime will come off of your home while the siding itself will remain in good condition.
Clean Homes Are Easier to Maintain
It isn’t uncommon for mold that takes hold on exterior siding to eventually make it into your house. In some cases, it will invade your home without you even realizing that there is a problem. This is because it can attach itself to insulation, interior walls and other surfaces that aren’t easy to see.
It can also be transported throughout your home through the HVAC system, which can result in additional property damage. It’s also important to note that grass, mulch or other organic material left on the side of a home can attract pests. If these pests get inside your house, they can cause thousands of dollars of damage, and in extreme cases, they can render a property uninhabitable.
Therefore, by having the exterior washed on a regular basis, you can potentially save thousands of dollars in maintenance costs. Furthermore, a home that is properly cared for will have greater curb appeal. If you’re the leader of your HOA, taking pride in how each house looks can help to keep residents happy.
We Won’t Waste Your Time
Our team of experienced employees have the skills, knowledge and experience to complete a power washing project in a timely manner. If necessary, we’ll start working as soon as the sun comes up to maximize the amount of work that can be completed throughout the day. Depending on the layout of your community, it may be possible to work throughout the night assuming that we have access to adequate artificial lighting.
We’ll Limit Our Footprint
We will take a number of steps to minimize the mess that naturally occurs during an exterior cleaning project. For example, we can lay tarps, buckets or other tools to limit the distance that dust, dirt or grass can travel after it has been removed from the side of a home.
Furthermore, our team will use industry best practices to limit the amount of dirty water that drains into driveways, streets or other common areas. This may prevent the need to rinse down patio furniture, your car or other items that are left outdoors while we are working.
It’s important to note that the materials used to clean a home’s exterior are only toxic if you inhale, ingest or otherwise come into contact with large quantities of them. It’s also worth noting that they are unlikely to cause significant damage to any outdoor items that they come into contact with. If any of your property is damaged during an exterior cleaning project, our insurance company will help to cover the cost to repair whatever was harmed.
Have a Home Pressure Washed Before You Paint It
It may be in your best interest to have a home pressure washed before you hire someone to conduct a commercial painting project. In some cases, the painting contractor hired to work on the homes in your community will suggest that exterior surfaces be thoroughly washed before a project begins.
There are several reasons why a surface needs to be washed before it can be painted. First, the paint will generally not stick to a surface that is contaminated with mildew, dust or dirt. Therefore, there is a risk that it will bubble, streak or flake off of the home.
You also run the risk of fresh paint highlighting the presence of any imperfections that exist on the home’s exterior. This may be especially true if you are using a paint that has a high level of sheen. At a minimum, you’ll need to have the home painted again to create the fresh look that you’re going for when adding a new coat of paint.
We Offer Free Consultations Before Starting Any Project
Prior to washing, painting or performing any other services, the folks at Schwartz & Sons Painting will schedule a meeting to learn more about your needs. During this meeting, we’ll get more detailed information about how many homes need to be washed, provide an estimated timeline and give you an idea of how much it’ll cost to complete your project.
You can feel free to ask any questions that you might have about our company or the process we use to power wash homes. You can also let us know if there are any special requests that you might have. These requests might include not working on certain days, during certain times of the day or on certain properties. Our goal is to ensure your complete satisfaction, which means that we’ll do whatever it takes to accommodate you.
