How Does Pressure Washing Save You Money?

We all know pressure washing is a popular method for cleaning various surfaces around a home, including driveways, patios, roofs, and exteriors. But did you know that regular pressure washing can actually save you money?

As the age-old saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This couldn't be more true than when you're dealing with paved driveways, roofs, brick home exteriors, and garage doors. Preventing a problem from happening in the first place always costs less than fixing a problem.

Why? Here are a few ways:

• Heads off major damage
• Preserves home value
• Reduces risk of emergencies
• Reduces risk of accidents
• Defends against effects weather and "mother nature"
• Delays decay and rot

Regular, annual pressure washing is a big part of preventative maintenance around your home:
