Pressure Washing Home or Business will increase its value

It’s not only the exterior condition of the building which comes under close inspection, but the encompassing walking and parking surfaces too. These three areas will have a huge effect on its resale value, thus keeping them in top shape is one of the most important parts of building maintenance. One thing that any property manager will tell you is part of their responsibilities is maintaining property values. This includes keeping the exterior of properties clean and bright looking as well as the inside. It’s really more of a necessity than simply part of the job. Places like sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and covered parking areas all require regular pressure washing along with the exterior of buildings. Doing this will ensure that the overall value and attractiveness of an investment property is upheld. While it’s definitely true that property maintenance can be costly, regular maintenance will aid in keeping the expenses low. Your building exteriors will appear virtually free of dirt, thus preventing the formation of grime, mold and mildew which only increases over time. By using professional pressure washing services, you will add longevity and beauty to your property, which will ultimately save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Also, keep in mind that a clean, well taken care of business and its surroundings reveals a lot about the type of business you run or the kind of property owner you are. Remember that people will develop opinions about your business or home before they even exit their vehicles. That’s why it’s so important to do regular pressure washing maintenance and window cleaning so as to present the best appearance you possibly can, avoiding any negative prejudice before your potential customers even set foot inside your building.

While the sight of a freshly painted home or a varnished deck can be very appealing, in actuality it’s cheaper and easier to perform building maintenance than to replace than before you should have to. It’s a fact of life that homes and commercial buildings must cope with the consequences of unpredictable weather. The constant pounding of rain, the baking of the sun, unexpected blizzards and violent winds all cause noticeable damage to homes and buildings alike. Then there’s the year round buildup of dirt and grime which seems to get into every crack and crevice, not to mention the dreaded mold. Pressure washing for proper building maintenance should be done at least once a year. But many commercial or retail properties choose to do it as much as monthly. While building exteriors may be good with just annual cleaning, other areas since as entry ways, patios, or dumpster need cleaned as frequently as monthly. Window cleaning frequency can vary depending on your property. Some business chose to do it every other week, others 2 or 4 times a year. Home owners regularly choose quarterly cleanings, semi-annual, or annual services.

Gutter cleaning required for a problem free winter.

So, you haven’t called anyone for gutter cleaning, but now you have an ice dam, what now? Climbing on the roof with snow or ice, makes a dangerous situation even worse. Don’t risk your personal injury if you’re not properly trained, call a professional! Professionals are skilled and insured to carefully handle this situation. The solutions can range from simple methods of using snow rakes to remove the snow to high end methods of using pressurized steam to safely melt the snow and ice. h2oTEKS provide skilled professional services for residential gutter cleaning. PLEASE DO NOT EVER TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH WELL INTENDED HOME REMODIES. Bad examples form other homeowners have been to us a hammer or pick ax to break it up, using a torch of any kind, or using hot water or a pressure washer. These methods will lead to disaster and even more damage. We will let you use your own imagination on how bad these methods can be. Even a simple method of throwing salt on the roof can lead to unintended damage to the house and landscaping. The best thing, is always preventative maintenance. This includes making sure your home is properly insulated and ventilated, this is the best course of action as it is fixing the root problem. Perhaps you choose a different method, treating the symptoms not the cause, by adding heating strips or cables to the lower 3′ of your roof. But, if it’s to late for the that, and you’re not going to call a professional, there are a few things you could do at your own risk. Although it unadvisable to be on a ladder or the roof in the snow, the following can be done from the ground or upstairs windows, at your own risk. The first option, purchase a snow rake and extension pole, this allows you to safely work from the ground, removing the buildup of snow. The second option, if ice is already underneath the snow, use sand as a safe melting agent. Unlike salt, which could in excess hurt landscaping in the run off, sand can just disappear in the spring. To your surprise, even on a cloudy day, sand can soak up a lot of heat, melting away snow or ice. just don’t forget to have the gutters cleaned in the spring of remain sand deposit. You only need to melt enough to expose the shingles, once they are exposed they will heat up on their own and melt the rest. Important tips for any method: Always start at the bottom and work your way up. If you start from the top down, you will either end up with a giant pile up snow coming down in your face, or worse yet, you will melt the top but it will not have free access to the gutters and can refreeze creating a new ice and potential leak in your home. What if you already have an ice dam and it is leaking in your house? This Old House suggests, cool the attic by venting in cold air as fast as possible. The leak will stop once it freezes up. You can then go about trying to remove the ice dam or wait for the professional to arrive. h2oTEKS Ltd is happy to provide 20 years worth of experience, specializing in window cleaning, pressure washing, and gutter cleaning.
