Exterior cleaning is necessary due to factors beyond human control. Elements such as wind, rain, snow, sleet, and ice, and natural plant matter (pollen, mold, algae, etc.) will eventually erode the protective finishing layers on every surface on your property. Unless your home's roof, siding, driveways, decks, and fences are made from the same materials used to build a rocket ship, maintenance is necessary to avoid premature replacement and expensive repairs. The cost of power washing service, gutter cleaning, or window cleaning relative to the years of extra life they provide your homes exterior is worth it by far. Here is a list of average replacement costs for exterior surfaces on a 3-bed room single story home.
