PFLAUMS BLOGPreventing Mold and Mildew Growth on Your Home Exterior

Your home or commercial property is likely your biggest investment, and like anything valuable, it needs regular care to stay in tip-top shape. One of the most overlooked forms of maintenance? Exterior Cleaning. We recommend this routine maintenance at least once a year. 1. Protect your property from damage. Dirt, algae, mold, and mildew don't just look bad; they also eat away at your siding, roof, concrete, and gutters. If left unchecked, this buildup can cause rot, staining, permanent discoloration, and even structural issues. A yearly cleaning removes these harmful elements before they cause costly damage. 2. Maintain Curb Appeal. Whether you're looking to sell, attract tenants, or simply take pride in your home, keeping your exterior clean is key. A freshly cleaned home looks newer, brighter, and better maintained; it shows your neighbors and visitors that you take care of what's yours. 3. Increase the life span of your exterior surfaces. Think of cleaning like preventative care, just like oil changes. Routine pressure washing or soft washing helps extend the life of your siding, shingles, pavers, and gutters by removing the buildup that causes premature wear and tear. 4. Protect your health. Mold and mildew on your home's exterior can make its way inside. Regular exterior cleaning helps reduce allergens, bacteria, and air quality issues, especially around gutters, windows, and entryways. It's a small investment that can help keep your family or staff healthy. 5. Save money in the long run. Many of our customers are shocked to find how much money they save by cleaning instead of replacing. A $400 roof cleaning can prevent a $10,000 replacement tomorrow; the same goes for siding, driveways, and decks. 6. Preserve your home's value. If your planning to sell or refinance, first impressions matter. A yearly exterior cleaning keeps your home or property looking move-in ready, and that can directly impact your appraisal or listing price. Veteran opened, locally operated, and always affordable.
