Power washing is an effective method for removing dirt, grime, mold, and other unwanted substances from the exterior of a house. This tactic helps to improve the appearance and extend the life of the home’s surfaces, as well as provides health benefits by removing potential allergens and toxins. Power washing can also be used for cleaning decks, patios, driveways, and other outdoor surfaces. This makes it a valuable tool for maintaining the overall appearance and value of a property. 

It's recommended to schedule power washing for a house once or twice a year, depending on the climate and the amount of dirt and debris buildup. Spring and fall are generally good times, as they provide an opportunity to prepare the home for the changing seasons. In areas with mild climates, power washing can be done year-round. In places that face harsh weather, it's better to schedule it during the warmer months. Experts also recommend having a power wash done before painting or staining the exterior of a house. This will ensure that the surface is clean and ready for the new coating.

What Are the Signs That My Siding Needs Repairs?

Since siding is so exposed to the weather, it can experience a lot of damage. Anyone looking to keep their home attractive and durable should arrange for repairs as soon as possible.

Common signs that your siding may need repairs include:

• Cracks, holes, warping, and buckling – These issues indicate that the siding has been damaged by water, wind, or hail. By allowing these issues to go unrepaired, the underlying structure will become compromised.
• Rot or decay – Signs of deterioration, such as soft or spongy areas, show that the entire siding may need to be replaced.
• Fading or discoloration – If the color of the siding has faded or changed significantly, it may be a sign that it has been exposed to too many UV rays or rain.
• Insect or pest damage – Are there random holes or burrows in the siding? Perhaps the wood itself looks intact, but it sounds hollow when knocked upon. Any evidence that insects or other pests have eaten or nested in the wood means the siding needs to be repaired.

Early repairs can help to prevent more serious and costly problems down the line, so speak to All Craft Roofers at the first sign.
