Pressure washing the surface of a building is not only a quick way to get it clean, but it also greatly improves the way it looks and can even raise the value of your home. In case this is a new concept to you, Midwest Renovation has explained more about this treatment for you below. 

What is pressure washing? 
Your home, or any building for that matter, is constantly exposed to the harsh elements of the outdoors. Pressure washing is a convenient way to clean a surface using a high-pressure water spray. This isn't simply a glorified garden hose, but rather a motorized washer that puts out an extremely strong stream of water able to remove loose things from a surface without the need for scrubbing. This is a whole lot faster and easier than trying to clean the entire outside by hand! 

Pressure washing isn't only for houses. It is also a great way to clean off driveways, sheds, garage floors, decks, and more. In addition to looking clean, there are some other excellent benefits to having our Missouri renovation company pressure wash for you.   
   
Cost Effective Curb Appeal
If the outside of your home is looking dingy, old, and in need of some new siding, a good pressure washing may be all that is necessary to restore it back to its original beauty. Just like the way a new paint job in a room can make it look brand new, pressure washing the outside of your home can make it look like new again too. 

This is a lot less expensive than replacing the siding (but if it really needs it, Midwest Renovation can do that too!) The incredible curb appeal that it adds to the look of your home is wonderful for increasing its value if you are trying to sell. 

Extend the Life of Building Materials
This treatment can also extend the life of a structure's materials. As with anything, proper upkeep can make it last much longer. For example, pressure washing a deck can eliminate the need to re-stain it for another year. It is suggested that you pressure wash your home at least once a year to maintain it.      

A Healthier Environment
This high pressure stream of water can remove all of the dirt and grime that builds up over time on the outside of every building. It's a much healthier environment to live or work in when all of the stuff clinging to the outside surfaces is gone.  

Pressure washing can remove dirt, stains left from falling leaves and branches, mold, and mildew. It can also take off rubber tire marks and oil stains from driveways and garage floors. Getting rid of these nasty elements provide a cleaner place for your family to live.   


Leave it to the experts.
Pressure washers can be rented if you want to do this yourself, but please be aware that handling one of these machines can be extremely dangerous. They can do more harm than good if not used properly. 

The water coming out of the nozzle is traveling at an extreme speed, strong enough to break a window, rip siding, and in some cases, even tear skin! If you don't know exactly where it's okay to spray, you could end up with water underneath wooden door and window frames, causing problems that will need to be fixed by a professional. These machines can also blast away the mortar between bricks of an older home. 

In the long run, it's much better to be safe than sorry.
