Power Cleaning Your Fence

What is the first thing a person notices when they drive onto someone’s property? If you have a fence surrounding your land and home, then you would be correct in saying the fence would grab their attention first. In today’s society, people are having fences built around their property for several reasons, including:
- Privacy. If you live close to a busy street, carefully placed shrubbery will only go so far when it comes to your privacy, which is why a tall fence is a way to go.
- Curb appeal. A beautiful fence can add incredible curb appeal to your home, which is vital, especially if you’re in the market to sell your home.
- Safety. Whether you live in a busy city or a rural country home, fences are irreplaceable when it comes to protecting your family and your valuables. Having a fence is a wonderful deterrent against potential thieves. It’s also safer for any pets you might have running around your yard.
- Confirmation. Property line disputes are very common, and having a fence is a surefire way to confirm to current neighbors or future neighbors where your property line begins and ends after it’s been surveyed.
From the country-style picket fences to the tall and ornate metal fences, each fence is beautiful in its own way, and taking proper care of yours will ensure it’s longevity against the elements. Here are some things you might not know when it comes to keeping your fence power washed on a routine basis:
1. Works well with most materials. It doesn’t matter if your fence is comprised of cedar, cypress, vinyl, iron, or some other type of material, as most can handle a low or high-pressure wash. Are you hesitant about yours and want to know for sure if it will withstand a high-pressure wash? No problem! Give us a call today and let one of our friendly technicians help you decide if it’s the right choice for your cleaning needs.
2. Increases property value. If it isn’t properly cleaned, your fence could greatly reduce your overall property value. And if you’re in the market to sell your home and property, then keeping your fences maintained is critical. No potential home buyer wants to take on the daunting task of having a fence mended, replaced, or even torn down. Keep yours in tip-top shape for fewer headaches down the line should you decide to sell your home.
3. One cleaning lasts a long time. Once your fence has been cleaned and treated, it shouldn’t have to be power washed again for at least two years. This saves valuable time and money that could be spent working on enjoyable outside projects, such as building a patio, planting a vegetable garden, or decorating your exterior with flowers and shrubs.
4. Helps new stain and/or paint last. Before you go through the difficult task of painting and/or staining your fence, it’s a wise choice to pressure wash your fence well beforehand. A professional power washing can wash away years of mildew, mold, old stains, and paint that has begun to crack and peel. New paint and/or stain will also adhere more easily to a fence that has been through proper washing.
5. Don’t waste money! Restoring a fence can cost 80-90% less than replacing it, so why spend a senseless amount of money on replacing your fence when all it might need is a simple high-power cleaning that costs less and can be finished in a shorter amount of time?
