In the midst of winter, it can be difficult to think ahead to the warmer weather. However, before you know it, spring will be upon us again and that means time to clean. There is nothing quite as refreshing as getting the home ready to invite in all the warm weather again.

While dusting and scrubbing components of the inside of your house is vital, let’s not forget about the exterior. Pressure washing plays an important role in being able to completely cleanse the outside of your home, including surfaces like walkways. But why is this so important?

Understanding the Benefits of Pressure Washing After Winter

When cold weather comes to an end and the first flowers begin to bloom, it is time to take stock of any damage or mess Old Man Winter left behind. Of course, the severity of the aftermath depends on how harsh a winter we had here in Atlanta. Yet no matter how mild, some common messes that pressure washing can help remedy are:

Your driveway and walkways are almost always made of concrete, a porous surface. That means when snow melts, it drains dirt down with it, right into those crevices. All that dirty snow may have melted away, but now its left a dingy looking sidewalk underneath. Pressure washing can get into those grooves and force trapped dirt right out.

Unless you scheduled house washing right before winter started, more than likely your exterior had some dirt, dust and other organic debris on it. Before snow and ice, it probably wasn’t that noticeable. Yet, once the thaw happens, the dirt shows all the streaks where melting snow rain down the side. You can’t help but see it now, and it is likely the first thing anyone will notice about your home’s exterior – until it’s cleaned off.

It can be especially important to power wash your deck, or other wood surfaces. Your exterior is subjected to the harshest of the elements, during winter months. A constant state of moisture is conducive to mildew and mold growth. Being able to quickly wash away any fungus that has begun to grow during this time is essential for the prevention of rot.

When it really comes down to it, paint jobs are often considered an unnecessary expense by a lot of business owners, but despite popular belief, a proper paint job for your commercial property can actually be a very worthwhile investment. While it might seem like a new coat of paint will only benefit your business aesthetically, the benefits that a proper paint job can provide are actually a bit more nuanced and complex than you might first believe. To help highlight exactly what a few of these benefits are, and what they can mean for your business, our team of skilled Atlanta painters have taken the time to put together this short list that we hope you will read through before giving us a call to schedule your commercial painting consultation.

Economic Benefits

A professionally done paint job can be a great way to give your business an instant boost to its overall appearance, which can be an important factor for attracting the attention of customers and clients. Even if your exterior and interior spaces look good and well-maintained, updating the paint on your business every few years can be a great way to help your business maintain its professional appearance and its overall value. Well-maintained buildings are generally viewed more favorably by customers, and keeping your building looking good can help to keep its market value high in case you decide to sell anytime in the future.

Cost Effective Maintenance

Preventative maintenance is always a major concern for businesses, as taking a bit of time to address issues before they have a chance to become full-blown problems can help you prevent things from getting to a point where they require a major overhaul in order to fix. There are a number of issues that can be detected early just by investing in a professional paint job every so often. Not to mention, regular painting can help to eliminate a number of issues that might cause the appearance of your business to suffer, like fading color, cracking, and even peeling paint that can all put customers off.

Competitive Advantage

Regular painting for your commercial property is a great way to enhance your brand’s identity. The right colors can give your business a visual boost that helps it stand out from all of your competitors and stick in the minds of your customers, which is always a good thing. Whether you’re looking to create a bright, exciting atmosphere for your business, or you’re looking to deliver an atmosphere that’s more relaxing and laid back for your customers, the right paint colors can go a long way in helping you achieve your goals and give you a distinct advantage over your competitors.
