- Most Avon homes need a house wash every 1 to 2 years.
What makes Avon homes need a house wash?
Avon has grown fast, with new construction and well-kept neighborhoods off Detroit Road and Nagel Road. Ohio weather still does its work on every one of them.
Green algae streaks run down vinyl siding, mildew settles into shaded walls, and dirt and pollen build up until the exterior looks dull. Newer homes are no exception, especially on the sides that get little sun.
Look for green streaks under the roofline, dark patches on north-facing walls and a dull film on light-colored siding. Those are signs the house is ready for a wash. Pollen and dirt also collect on window sills and around light fixtures and doors.
Why is soft washing better than pressure washing for siding?
High-pressure washing can gouge vinyl, force water behind the siding and strip paint. Soft washing avoids all of that.
Pressure is the right tool for concrete driveways and walkways, so we still use it there. Siding just needs a gentler approach.
We apply a cleaning solution at low pressure so it lifts algae, mildew and grime off the surface, then rinse it away. Your siding comes out clean without the marks that unnecessary pressure leaves behind.
Low pressure also keeps water from getting behind the panels, where it can sit and cause problems you cannot see from the outside.
What happens during house washing in Avon, OH?
Our crews follow the same careful process on every home, from the French Creek district to the area near Avon Commons and the newer developments around Nagel Road:
- Soak the landscaping before any solution goes on
- Soft wash the siding at low pressure with a cleaning solution
- Work the solution into algae streaks and shaded, mildewed walls
- Rinse the house and the plants around it when we finish
How often should an Avon house be washed?
Most homes need a wash every 1 to 2 years. Houses with more shade and moisture fall toward the shorter end, because algae and mildew grow back faster where the siding stays damp.
When we visit, we look at your home and recommend a schedule that fits it.
Washing on a regular schedule keeps algae from settling in deep, which makes each cleaning easier and keeps the house looking fresh between visits.
