The Benefits of Soft Washing Your Long Island Homes Exterior

Long Islanders have been using pressure washing services to maintain the exterior areas of their homes for decades. Although it has long been the standard practice it isn’t necessarily the best method for every situation or house. In some instances using a pressure washer for cleaning your property can end up doing more harm then good to some surfaces around your home. Many homeowners are not aware that there is actually an alternative option available called soft washing. For a lot of older or historic homes with delicate exterior features soft washing can provide a cleaning that is much gentler without risk of damaging surfaces.

There are many benefits to choosing to soft wash your home and we have put together a few examples of them in this short list below:

Increased Surface Lifespan:

As harmful buildups of algae, mold, mildew and dirt sit on your home’s exterior surfaces, they do more then just make your home look dirty and dull. These contaminants develop harmful bacteria over time and slowly begin to eat away at your home’s exterior. This causes premature aging and greatly decreases the lifespan of your home’s materials. With a professional soft washing from the team at 

KOS Exterior Cleaning you will receive the gentle but complete cleaning solution necessary to remove these issues at their source and maintain the exterior of your home while also increasing it’s lifespan.

Protect The Health of Your Family:

When dangerous allergens and bacteria begin to form around your home, it is not only a risk to the health of your house but to yours and your family’s as well. If left to sit untreated, mold and algae will begin to work their way into your home’s interior, and continued exposure can lead to illness. To be certain that your home is both safe and healthy it is imperative that they are removed before they are able to develop into serious problems. If you have a home with delicate surfaces then regular soft washing by KOS Exterior Cleaning is they way to go.

Increase and Maintain Curb Appeal:

Potential structural damage and the threat of health hazards from algae, mold and bacteria aren’t the only things to worry about with infected exterior surfaces. The green, black and brown splotches and marks on your home also damage the curb appeal of your property and cause it to look unsightly, unkempt and neglected. Maintaining the appearance of your property with regular soft washing of your siding, and roof is a point of pride and especially important if you are planning to put your house on the market now or in the future. Curb appeal is a big factor in the real estate market.

Property Value:

Not only does leaving the exterior of your property dirty lead to damage that can lead to costly repairs, doing so also lowers the value of your property and those around you. It has been observed in the real estate industry that seasonal soft washing protects and increases your property value and those values in your neighborhood. Soft Washing is a cost effective way to protect the investment you have made in your home or business.
