Residential Pressure Washing & Soft-Washing Services by Rapp Exteriors.
One of the most efficient ways to improve your curb appeal and increase your property value is to pressure wash your home or business. The exterior finish is attacked by mold, mildew, algae, dirt and grime build up which deteriorates surfaces and degrades its appearance. Regular maintenance such as a soft wash cleaning protects the finish, even for “maintenance free” siding like vinyl and aluminum. Not only do our washing products protect your exterior, they help prevent mold, mildew and algae from spreading inward, maintaining a healthier environment for those inside your home.
Why get your House Washed?
Many of the reasons that our clients love our tested approach to house washing includes:
- Removing allergens that make family members feel sick.
- Protecting the value of their homes.
- Improving their house’s curb appeal.
- Removing spiderwebs, nests, and pests that they don’t want to deal with.
- Making them feel proud to invite people to their homes.
Why Your Roof Needs Cleaning
Airborne spores from algae, moss, mold and other contaminants land on your roof over time and start to grow on its surface. An algae that actually feeds on the limestone in your shingles is what causes the eyesore black streaks on your roof. Over time, mold, mildew, moss and algae can destroy your roof shingles. Leaky roofs can lead to extensive damage and costly to replace. Regular low pressure roof cleaning can prolong the life of your roof, protecting one of your biggest investments. In fact, many insurance companies deny roof damage claims if the roof shows signs of not being maintained properly and are threatening to cancel homeowner’s insurance policies.
The Importance of Gutter Cleaning
It can be difficult and dangerous to keep your gutters clear of dirt and leaves. It’s important to keep gutters clean to avoid foundation and basement moisture damage. Clean gutters can help prevent winter time ice dams which result in roof and ceiling damage.
If your gutters haven’t been cleaned for a while, there’s quite a variety of dirt, leaves, twigs and grime that can accumulate in even a short time.
If you are tired of dealing with clogged gutters and are looking for a no-fuss solution, just give Rapp Exteriors a call.
Deck and Patio Cleaning
Deck and Patio Cleaning
There is no substitute for experience when it comes to power washing wood or composite decks. Using a too high pressure setting or holding the nozzle too close to the surface can be enough pressure to do damage to soft wood, and enough pressure to leave lap marks on most composite decking. Remember: less pressure and more volume when it comes to exterior wood cleaning.
Driveway Cleaning
Your driveway is probably one of the dirtiest parts of your property. It gets exposed to the same dirt, pollen, and pollution that makes your home look grimy. In addition, though, vehicles leak on them. That means your driveway may have stains from oil, power steering fluid, and other vehicle leaks.
It doesn’t take long for a leaking car to stain your driveway.
Power washing your driveway does much more than remove dirt. Some of our clients tell us that they choose professional driveway cleaning because they want to:
- Eliminate mildew and grime that can create slippery surfaces.
- Protect their pavement and concrete from the cracks caused by algae and acids.
- Have an attractive driveway without stains and baked on dirt.
Washing a driveway with a hose can only do so much. For a deep clean, you need professional pressure washing equipment.
Fence Cleaning
As much as your home’s exterior, a clean and well kept fence speaks abundantly about the appearance of your property. Just as on your home’s siding, we use the same environmentally friendly equipment and cleaning solutions to keep your fences looking new.
