Why have your house and driveway washing?

Improper care for the siding and roofing and led to void in warranties and insurance will deny the coverage.

A properly maintained and cleaned siding, roof, and driveway not only boost your home’s curb appeal, but also protect your investment, prevent damage, and create a fresh, welcoming space you can take pride in every day.

Here’s why:    

•    Algae, moss, and lichen can grow on shingles (especially asphalt), causing them to deteriorate and reduce lifespan.

•    Debris buildup (like leaves or branches) can trap moisture and lead to rot or leaks.

•    Manufacturer warranties often require regular maintenance to remain valid. For example, GAF and CertainTeed, two major roofing manufacturers, advise routine inspections and cleaning to prevent damage and preserve warranty coverage. If your home is in a shaded or humid area, you might need to clean it more frequently.

when should i get my house and driveway washed

Siding

Most siding manufacturers, including those of vinyl, fiber cement, and engineered wood, recommend cleaning your siding at least once a year. This helps prevent buildup of mold, mildew, dirt, and pollutants that can degrade the material, void warranties, or lead to discoloration.

Concrete

Concrete surfaces like driveways, patios, and sidewalks should be washed every 1–2 years to remove grime, oil stains, moss, and mildew, which can cause surface damage and make them slippery over time.

Roofing

Most roofing manufacturers recommend cleaning your roof every 2 to 3 years, or as needed based on your local environment.

Following manufacturer guidelines ensures your siding, roofing and concrete stays in good shape and helps maintain it’s curb appeal and warranty coverage.
