Does Soft Washing your Property Save you Money in the Long Run?
Alright, let's talk real numbers, Bay Area style. You drop a cool $1.5 million for that starter home. But here's the thing: neglecting your roof and painted wood siding? That's like leaving your Ferrari out during an atmospheric river followed by a week long heat wave without even one coat of turtle wax.
Paint Job Pain: A fresh coat of paint on a decent-sized house with paint and labor costs today? You're looking at $20k-$25k. You can buy a used Tesla Model 3 from Hertz for your teenager with that money.
Siding Woes: Dirt and grime trap moisture onto your paint. If you let those algae blooms and mold feasts go unchecked, you're not just dealing with an eyesore, you're risking serious damage to your siding. We're talking wood rot, warping, cracking – potentially tens of thousands of dollars in repairs before the painting starts.
Curb Appeal Crash: Let's be honest, Bay Area real estate is competitive. Curb appeal matters. A dingy, neglected exterior? That's a major turn-off for potential buyers. You could be looking at a significant hit to your resale value, potentially tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. And maybe the stink eye from neighbors too.
Now, compare that to the cost of preventative maintenance. A professional roof cleaning and house wash? A small price to pay to protect your investment and maintain that Bay Area glow.
You wouldn't let your Ferrari rust, would you? Treat your home with the same respect. It's an asset, and in this market, it's an asset you want to protect. Ask for a free estimate!
