Why Spring Is the Best Time to Power Wash Your Home

Getting the dirt and grime off of stairs.

Ah, spring! The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and we have all gone into our spring-cleaning mode to give ourselves a fresh start. The exterior of your home should not be left out of all the fun! With all of the pollen that gets stirred up in spring, our driveways, walls, and windows will become especially dirty. The winter and spring in North Texas cause the exterior of many homes to get beyond filthy. Rain splashes dirt up onto the side of your home, and wind blows dust and debris all over your windows and walls. This is why the end of Spring is arguably the best time of the year to give yourself a fresh start by getting the exterior of your home cleaned. 

Preps Home for Outdoor Season

This is the time of year when you are outside the most! You are enjoying the beautiful weather by grilling, playing games outdoors, swimming in your pools, and gathering around the backyard fire. By getting your siding, patios, and decks power-washed, you ensure that everything is in tip-top shape so that your gatherings can be top-notch. By getting your home power-washed, you give your guests and family a fresh and welcoming space to enjoy the season. Don’t allow your in-laws an opportunity to comment on your dirty patio; get it cleaned now. 

Prevents Long-Term Damage

Mold, mildew, and algae THRIVE in spring weather. This spring has been the perfect opportunity for contaminants to make themselves at home, on your home. Due to the wet and warm weather, the outside of your property has been a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and algae – power-washing your home eliminates these enemies before they continue to spread. If you decide to allow these contaminants to spread, you are risking long-term damage to your siding, deck, or patio. The longer that these things are allowed to stay put, the harder it is to remove them. Eventually, the only way to completely get rid of them is to entirely replace the contaminated material.

Boosts Curb Appeal and Home Value

Lastly, power washing your home simply boosts the curb appeal and value of your home. Having a clean exterior makes a big first impression. Think about it, if you walk into a home that has dirty walls and windows, you are going to have a preconceived notion about everything to do with that house. It does not matter if the inside is pristine; you are going to be negatively biased towards the home just because the outside is filthy. On the flip side of that, if you walk into a home with a sparkling exterior, you will have a much more positive opinion of the home overall. A clean exterior shows people that you take care of your home, and displays to the neighborhood that you care about them as well. Nobody wants to look at their neighbor’s filthy house every day. You can take care of them by taking care of your own home.

Look, if you’re already scrubbing the inside of your house and clearing out the garage, why not give the outside some love too? Spring is the perfect time to hit reset and let your home shine—literally. Power washing isn’t just about cleaning; it’s about protecting your investment, boosting your home’s look, and making sure your space is ready for all the fun the warm weather brings. So go ahead—kick off the season fresh, and let your home sparkle from the curb to the patio.
