Top Siding Eyesores (and How to Erase Them)
Dirty siding can feel a lot like a stained shirt. You don’t always notice the eyesore at first – but once you do, it’s all you can focus on.
And whereas your shirt might have a laundromat come to the rescue, your siding has house washing to erase the issue.
What is that on my siding?
It’s a question we get all the time: what is on my home exterior – and is it hurting my home?
The first part of the question has a few different possible answers. And the second part is easy. Yes!
Siding eyesores are typically caused by four different types of buildup. They are:
- Algae - this looks like green, slightly mossy looking film covering your siding
- Mold - you’ll see back or dark grey clusters all over your exterior
- Mildew - this “young sibling” to mold looks a little dustier and lighter in color
- Dirt - you’ve likely seen what a dirty surface looks like, and the same effect applies to your roof
…And how do I get rid of it?
First, the bad news. Siding eyesores tend to be stubborn. It doesn’t work to take a hose to your exterior and cross your fingers that it will disappear. Now, the good news: there is a solution, and it increases your property value, locks in the quality of your siding, and gives your curb appeal a serious leg up.
This process is called house washing. It works like this:
- Soft washing equipment gently cleans your home exterior. It’s a version of power washing that is safer for your siding (and more effective, too)
- Special cleaning products break down mold, dirt, mildew, and algae. This ensures that we aren’t just removing the grime – we’re preventing it from coming back
- Trained professionals take care of every step of the process, so you can feel confident that you’re getting the very best quality
