KEEPING IT CLEAN IS A GREAT INVESTMENT
Maintaining the cleanliness and image of your home or business is directly correlated to maintaining the value of your property and, in the case of a business facility, the value of the entire business. The first thing that your friends, guests or customers see is the exterior of your property. Seeing a clean property says that you care about the comfort and health of your guests and about your property. For a business, cleanliness and good maintenance is vital, because clean businesses attract more customers.
One of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to improve the look and value of your home or business is to properly maintain its cleanliness. The ProPressureCleanSM Pressure Washing System is a highly efficient technique that can safely be used to clean mold, dust, mildew, mud and other dirt from a wide variety of surfaces.
When your roof is discolored, whether black or green, the discoloration is not only reducing the value of your home or business, it is also creating an unhealthy environment for you and your family or friends, guests, customers or employees. Our ProPressureCleanSM team will clean concrete roof tiles, clay roof tiles, barrel tiles, asphalt/fiberglass roof shingles, metal roofs, and exterior stucco walls and brick walls.
What is that black stuff?
The black discoloration is typically a mixture of dirt, mold, mildew, roof algae and fungus. This nasty mess can considerably shorten the life of your roof or paint job! Allowing a structure to remain dirty will also compromise the cleaning efforts of fellow property owners.
3M scientists have identified the most common form of roof algae as Gloeocapsa Magma. Algae spores are carried by the wind, which is why so many houses in the neighborhood can end up with this problem. During the last 20 years, this particular algae strain has become hardier and so has been able to migrate to less humid environments than it has in the past. And in areas where it traditionally has been found, the staining is showing up earlier, is more severe and settles on a greater number of roofs.
Why do I need to clean it?
There are many reasons for cleaning with
ProGreenCleanSM, including:
- Maintain beauty and value of your investment
- Homeowners Associations and Property Managers require cleaning
- Selling your home or business
- Getting ready to paint
Proper maintenance is obviously important to a community’s image, protection of property values, and homeowner enjoyment of the community. It is also essential for controlling both short and long-term costs. Property Managers and Board Members taking on the responsibility of evaluating and planning the long-term direction and finances of a community should always be aware of what the long-term effects of maintenance, or lack of it, will be on the long-term costs to the community.
