• Over time, dirt, dust, and pollen accumulate on your home’s surface. A house wash is a great way to ensure your home’s exterior surfaces stay clean, free of debris and extending the life of the siding and paint.
3. Build-Up of Cobwebs, Dirt, and Debris
• If you notice cobwebs, wasp nests, or other debris collecting around windows, eaves, or siding, it’s a clear sign that your home could benefit from a professional cleaning.
• Additionally, Florida has an excessive population of “mud daubers”. These insects prefer to build up their nest in corners and crevices but usually in plain sight. It is highly encouraged to clean these nests regularly, if these are left for considerable lengths of time they will leave permanent marks on homes siding (vinyl, hardboard, stucco, brick, etc).

• If you’re planning to host guests or an outdoor gathering, or as part of your fall or spring maintenance routine, a house wash will boost curb appeal and prepare your home for the season ahead.
