Exterior Cleaning Essentials
Elements Property Concierge provides three home exterior cleaning services: window washing, power washing and gutter cleaning. All three have enormous benefits for your homes value and appeal. These services can be purchased singly or in a discounted bundle.
WINDOW WASHING SERVICES
Regular window cleaning saves your windows from being etched and pitted over a period of time. An additional benefit is that window cleaning prevents calcium and mineral deposits from forming on the glass, allowing additional light from outside to enter. Having your windows cleaned washes away years of dirt, allergens and other contaminants. Regular scheduled window cleaning appointments keep your home looking clean and beautiful.
So many over-the-counter cleaners claim to leave windows without a streak, but few actually do that. Professional window cleaning will never leave these annoying streaks, nor will the windows appear scratched. Instead, your windows will look brand new.
In addition, having clean windows is far from being just a visual benefit. Dirty windows can mean that they have grime, fungus, pollen buildup and more. Due to the porous qualities of glass, all of these things can cause major damage to the surface and perimeter of a window over time. Once these things run their course, the windows will need to be replaced, creating an expensive repair job. Professional window cleaning will prevent further damage caused by these issues which will lengthen the life of your windows.
We recommend semi-annual window washing services but even one washing a year will make a great difference in your homes appeal. Our window washing service gives detailed attention to all windows (inside & out), screens, sills & tracks.
POWER WASHING SERVICES
Power washing is an excellent method of removing dirt, mold and mildew, which cause the deterioration of your homes exterior surfaces. Whether your home is wood frame, stone, brick, siding or stucco, power washing will clean and restore its original beauty and remove unsightly stains. Pressure cleaning is a service that can quickly restore, maintain and improve your property and is easily one of the least expensive ways to improve the look of your valuable asset.
Power washing is certainly not as expensive as replacing things outright. A good pressure washing can restore your deck, home surfaces or driveway to their original condition because the wash removes dirt and many other things that make the surfaces look in worse condition than they really are.
In addition, power washing is able to cut through mold and grime, removing them in a way that is safe and beneficial to you and your home. In fact, build-up of mold is a common cause for shingles that need to be replaced. Pressure washing, even on roofs, can get rid of the mold and extend the life of your roof.
We provide power washing service for patios, decks, sidewalks, driveways, roofs and walls as well as outdoor furniture and barbeque grills. We recommend semi-annual power washing services but even one washing a year will make a great difference in your homes appeal and health.
GUTTER CLEANING SERVICE
Gutters perform the very important function of keeping water off of the house foundation and the house proper. Clogged and overflowing gutters can dump gallons of water onto the ground next to the house. The water can cause foundation erosion and settlement issues. In addition, overflowing gutters can cause fascia boards and soffits to rot as well as destroy landscaping. Finally, clogged gutters allow mold to grow and provide a ready ground for termite, mosquito and cockroach infestations.
Regular, inexpensive gutter cleaning ensures your gutters perform reliably thus saving you a number of expensive and time-consuming repairs.
This is a great project to include with window and power washing for convenience.
CHIMNEY SWEEPING SERVICE
The main purpose of sweeping your chimney is to remove the hazard of accumulated and highly combustible materials in the chimney flue. A secondary purpose is to improve your indoor air quality. Even gas fire systems need to be swept because blockages in chimneys connected to them can lead to a build-up of carbon monoxide and other harmful gases.
A good chimney sweep has the necessary training and experience to notice problems that might lead to chimney fires or inefficient burning. Chimney sweeps usually advise that chimneys be cleaned after a period of prolonged disuse (over the summer for example). Many also advise that chimneys should be cleaned before the end of the heating season to ensure that the chimney is clear of animal nests and prepared for the subsequent idle period. If a chimney is used very often, it might be necessary to sweep it more often.
Our chimney sweep:
- Evaluates the condition and safety of your chimney both inside and out
- Places drop cloths and barriers to ensure your home is kept clean
- Uses a variety of special tools to brush and vacuum the soot, creosote and larger particles from your chimney
- Evaluates and repairs your chimney caps and crowns as needed
