A professional exterior cleaning company can rejuvenate your business. Unfortunately, many businesses wait too long between exterior cleanings. Exterior cleaning, like any business expense, is an investment. A good exterior cleaning makes your business look more professional. It attracts customers instead of pushing them away. It shows clients you care about appearance. Does your business need to order window cleaning, pressure washing, or another exterior cleaning service? Here are some of the most important signs it’s time to call a professional exterior cleaner for your business.

You Don’t Have the Equipment to Safely Clean Everything

Your business might not have the safety ladders, harnesses, high-end pressure washers, industrial cleaning solvents, and other materials needed to safely clean your exterior. If you don’t have the equipment, then hiring a professional exterior cleaning company is the smartest – and safest – decision to make. It’s not just a safety thing: it’s a liability issue. If an employee – or yourself – gets damaged on your business’s property while cleaning the exterior, it could create huge liability issues for your business.

You Have Sensitive Surfaces That Could Be Damaged

Certain surfaces – like stucco and brick – cannot be cleaned like ordinary pavement. Some surfaces require special cleaning solutions. Some surfaces can only be pressure washed on low PSI settings. Other surfaces cannot be pressure washed at all. If your business has surfaces that could be damaged by inexperienced cleaners, then it’s best to call the professionals. You don’t want to risk damaging the face of your business with poor cleaning.

You’re Preparing to Sell Business

A good exterior cleaning can significantly enhance the curb appeal of your property. If you are preparing to sell your business in the near future, then investing in a professional exterior cleaning is a smart choice. In fact, you may earn a substantial return on your investment.

You’re Losing Business Because of a Poorly-Maintained Exterior

Whether you’re a law firm, retail store, or any other type of business, a poorly-maintained exterior never looks good. Customers who walk up to your business want to see a well-maintained property. They want to feel safe and comfortable – not surrounded by mold, mildew, and discolored surfaces.

Plants Are Growing on your Exterior or In Your Gutters

If you start to notice grass, plants, or flowers sprouting from your home’s gutters, then it may be time to contact a professional. These problems are especially noticeable in gutters. When it rains, water pushes dirt into your gutters, creating an ideal environment for grasses and plants. Without proper maintenance, your gutters will soon have their own teeming ecosystem. This is a huge problem in the long run, and professional exterior cleaning companies can tackle the problem quickly and easily.

Your Gutters Are Overflowing When It Rains

Your gutters are supposed to funnel water away from your business – not overflow and cause water to pour against your business’s exterior. If your gutters aren’t doing their job, then you may want to hire a professional exterior or gutter cleaning crew. Gutter cleaning crews have specialized equipment – including safety gear – they can use to safely clean your gutters.

There Are Stains, Mildew, and Mold On your Exterior

If your exterior is covered with stains, mold, or mildew, then it could indicate a standing water problem. Or, it could just signal that you haven’t cleaned your exterior in a while. You could create your own bleach solution and clean the mold and mildew yourself. Or, you can hire the professionals to do the job once – and do it right.

You Want to Save Money

Many people are surprised to discover that hiring an exterior cleaning service can actually save money. Yes, you’re hiring someone to the job for you. However, exterior cleaning companies are fast, efficient, and safe. They have the equipment needed to get the job done right. They can arrive on-site and clean the area in hours. A good exterior cleaning company has the process down to a science – and it’s a joy to watch.

Whether you’re spring cleaning or preparing to sell, boosting your home’s curb appeal is never a bad idea. Improving the exterior of your home may be easier than you think – even if you’re not a DIYer. Today, we’re highlighting our top ten foolproof ways to boost your home’s curb appeal.

Buy Planters

Does your home’s entrance look empty and boring? Does your backyard lack features? You don’t have to do a complete landscaping overhaul to beautify your home’s exterior. Instead, just buy some planters. Buy five planters with colorful flowers or shrubs. Many homeowners are surprised to discover how different their home’s entrance or backyard can look after adding planters.

Rent or Buy a Pressure Washer

You may not have a pressure washer, but now is a good time to rent or buy one. Pressure washing is an easy (and oddly satisfying) way to beautify your home’s exterior. Regular pressure washing can beautify any home, but it’s particularly valuable if you live in a wet climate where mold and dirt can collect on deck surfaces, driveways, sidewalks, and more. If you don’t feel like buying or renting your own pressure washer, then consider hiring a professional pressure washing company. These companies own state-of-the-art pressure washing equipment. They can complete the job more quickly and to a higher standard of quality. Plus, there’s less chance of damaging your deck, stucco, and other sensitive materials.

Paint your Front Door

Check color guides online, then repaint your front door to make it pop. If you’re selling your home, then you don’t want to paint the door a dramatic or polarizing color – like hot pink. However, a repainted front door that complements the exterior of your home can add thousands of dollars to the perceived value of your property. Out of all the tips listed here, painting the front door may be the easiest and cheaper option. With just a small investment in paint and a few hours of hard work, your door will look better than ever.

Rethink your Front Walkway

Some homes have boring walkways. You might have a basic concrete path to your front door, for example, or rickety wooden steps. Consider adding flat flagstones to your concrete path to give it a modern, fancy look. Surround the pathway with stones, mulch, wood shavings, or other material to help frame your home.

Invest in Your Lawn

70% of homeowners do nothing to their lawns. Investing in basic lawn care, however, can go a long way towards beautifying your home’s exterior. Take a glance around your neighborhood. Inevitably, some houses have bright, green, attractive lawns – while other houses have dull, brown, poorly-maintained lawns. Invest in fertilizer. Weed your lawn. Spot treat problem areas. Mow it regularly. You can notice a significant difference within weeks.

Buy a New Front Door and Mailbox

If you don’t feel like repainting your front door or mailbox, then consider buying new ones. A rundown mailbox may be the first thing someone sees when pulling up to your home. For around $100, you can get a fancy, high-end mailbox that artfully displays your home’s address and accepts packages. It’s a small change that can have a big impact on curb appeal. Similarly, a new front door can change the entire exterior appearance of your home. If you have a straightforward front door, for example, then consider adding a front door with a glass feature, a window, or attractive material.

Light the Outside

Lighting your home is easier than ever before. Today, you can buy LED lights that run off solar power, which means you don’t need to dig trenches or string wires. Place lights in strategic spots around the exterior of your home to light it up at night. Make sure the light shines across the entire front of your home from the curb. Your home will look like the best property on the block at any time of day or night.

Add Shutters to Windows

Shutters have been ‘in’ for a few years. Buying shutters can give the front of your home dimension and significantly increase its curb appeal. If you’re feeling bold, you can also paint your shutters contrasting colors to make your windows pop. It’s an easy and affordable way to make your home stand out to potential buyers.

Clean All Your Windows

We get it. You do your best to clean your home’s windows, but some windows are too hard to reach. You don’t feel like going up on your roof or hauling out the ladder to clean your taller windows or second floor windows. Fortunately, there are window cleaning companies in your neighborhood that are happy to help. These companies have the equipment – like ladders and safety harnesses – needed to safely and efficiently clean all windows in your home. Consider professional window cleaning an investment into the curb appeal of your home.

Final Word

Improving your home’s curb appeal can be the difference between getting an offer and never selling your home. It can boost a home’s value as much as 20%. Whether selling your home or just beautifying it, consider implementing the tips above to enhance the curb appeal of any house.    

As people who were born-and-bred in Long Island here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, it gives us no small pleasure to say that the area’s economy is absolutely thriving. The Island has had a promising trend of economic growth over the past decade, and Department of Labor data projects local employment growth of 2.6% from 2018 to 2028. These gradual improvements have helped existing businesses (including this modest exterior cleaning operation!) to continue thriving, while improving the success rates of brave entrepreneurs striking out on their own with new and exciting companies. None of this would have been possible, of course without the smart, resourceful residents of Long Island possessing the business savvy to drive such growth. Such people surely know the vital importance of not only looking at the big picture – hiring and firing, sales targets, and so on – but the smaller details too. After all, however effectively you nail the former, if you skimp on the latter then you won’t succeed overall. The literal, physical appearance of your business falls into the latter category. The smartest businesspeople know how important it is not only to work in a professional manner, but to look professional too. You have to attract new customers and clients in the first place in order to grow, after all, and this simply won’t happen unless your business premises are looking spic and span. We know for a fact that there are many business owners around Long Island – whether in Massapequa, Wantagh or elsewhere – that already know this well, and act upon it. How? Because they’re our commercial power washing clients! We’ve said it before at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, and we’ll say it again – no exterior cleaning service can get commercial premises looking back to their best as quickly as power washing. Thanks to its unrivaled potency and versatility, power washing can revitalize not only the outside of the building itself, but the footpaths, car parks, and most other things which surround the property. Of course, while a one-off power washing session will work wonders… it’s not all that helpful from a business point of view. At best, it will temporarily boost your appearance, and in turn (hopefully) your returns. A vastly more effective strategy, which many of our commercial clients in places like Wantagh and Massapequa already follow, is to schedule this service regularly. By doing this, they ensure that their premises always look clean and professional. The question then becomes, ‘How often should you get power washing for your business?’ As you might expect, this is a case of ‘the more, the better’. At the very least, you should be getting it at least twice per year, with the spring and autumn of the year being reasonable intervals. If you can push that to once per quarter though, we’d definitely recommend doing so – this will leave very little chance at all for the elements to take their toll on your property, even in exposed coastal locations (which are plentiful here in Long Island!). Making your business attractive to potential customers and clients doesn’t happen by accident. With the help of regular power washing though, courtesy of Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, you can ensure that your commercial property – whether in Wantagh, Massapequa or elsewhere in Long Island – always checks this box. To get started now, just email us at MikeMajestic66@gmail.com, or call 631-421-2295.

Here at Majestic Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, we’ve often noticed that Long Island is a bigger and busier place than most people seem to think! Nearly 40% of New York State’s population lives here, and – if it was its own state – it would be the 4^th most densely populated in the country. With over 7.8 million people living across Long Island, there are certainly a whole lot of houses in place, and – in turn – a whole lot of residential properties that need cleaning!

Despite extremely strong competition in the area, we’re obviously delighted that Majestic has not only managed to hold its own amongst the many exterior companies in Long Island but to thrive. If we hadn’t, there’s no way we would have been able to continue for over 25 years (and counting). We like to think a few different factors have gone into our success, from the premium we place on the customer service we provide to the good folk of Massapequa, Wantagh, and elsewhere in Long Island, to the sheer quality of our work.

One of the biggest keys, however, has been making the right choices to begin with in the two main exterior cleaning services we’ve chosen to specialize in. One is window cleaning, which is obviously the most famous such service there is. The other is power washing. Why did we choose to make the latter one of our main focuses? Well, that’s what we want to discuss with you today.

Firstly, power washing – whether in Long Island or anywhere else in the States – is already an extremely popular service. Everyone recognizes power washing equipment, it simply looks impressive in action, and many people out there will have already tried it for themselves (you can explore the biggest DIY pressure washing risks in our team’s previous guide). As such, we have an audience with an existing understanding of what we’re offering them.

Secondly, and more importantly, pressure washing simply works. There are few faster and more effective ways to clean the exterior of either a commercial or residential property than pressure washing. The tremendous pressure at which the water is applied can simply obliterate troublesome substances like dirt, mold, and algae. That is, at least, when it’s combined with professional-level training, as it is at Majestic. Not only that, but we found power washing’s versatility irresistible; this is a service that can work brilliantly on both residential and commercial properties alike, of pretty much all shapes and sizes.

Thirdly, it seemed like the perfect service to offer for our specific location. We’re a local company here at Majestic Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, meaning we have a unique insight into how to clean and care for the island’s properties. Due to their coastal location, many of Long Island’s properties are exposed to the elements far more than usual and thus face different challenges. Given its potency, power washing seemed the perfect service to counter this increased threat, and help keep our customers’ houses and businesses nice and clean – whether they’re in Wantagh, Massapequa, or elsewhere on Long Island.

So, those were the three biggest reasons we chose to make power washing one of the cornerstones of our business here at Majestic Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing. Given the lengthy time we’ve remained highly-rated as Long Island exterior cleaning providers, and the sizable number of long-term customers who keep coming back for the service, we’d say it was a pretty good choice!

If you’re based in Long Island, and you’d like to enquire about power washing for your residential or commercial property, don’t hesitate to contact Majestic now. To do so, just call 631-421-2295, or email us at MikeMajestic66@gmail.com.

We certainly don’t like to think of ourselves as ‘old’ here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning (and we’re not, particularly)… we prefer ‘experienced’, which is a very good thing in the exterior cleaning game! Either way, we’ve certainly been part of the exterior cleaning scene for a good while now here in Long Island – operating in places like Seaford, Massapequa and Wantagh – so we’ve got a pretty good feel for the landscape, to put it mildly!

Amongst all the many exterior cleaning variants, one is far and away the most famous – power washing. It’s comfortably been one of our most popular services here at Majestic for as long as we can remember, and we believe there are a couple of main reasons for this. Firstly, it’s something which a lot of people have actually tried for themselves, often with equipment they’ve bought from a store. Secondly, and on a related note, it looks and feels very cool indeed! Oh, and there’s also the small matter of it being a highly effective way to clean a Long Island-based residential or commercial property, of course, which probably shouldn’t be dismissed!

For all the good things that power washing has going for it, though, the same questions keeps on popping up. ‘Is it safe?’ is the main one, or – to put it more dramatically – ‘is power washing dangerous?’ Again, we know a thing or two about this particular topic, so our response comes from a place of knowledge. Our answer to that latter question is ‘It can be’.

When it comes to power washing and safety, the clue really is in the name. With this exterior cleaning service, the water is fired at the chosen surface at a heck of a rate. While this obviously makes it an extremely effective cleaning method… it also makes it a potentially dangerous one. According to this report, over 6,000 people are injured in pressure washing accidents every year. Given the power which these machines possess, most of these injuries can be pretty graphic in nature, as we’re sure you can imagine. Of course, while your personal safety is of paramount importance, improperly practiced power washing can also cause damage to the properties themselves. Given that the whole point of carrying this out in the first place was to make your property look better – whether in Wantagh, Seaford or Massapequa – this is obviously less than ideal!

So, it’s pretty clear that – in the wrong hands – power washing can be a dangerous proposition. Does this mean that you should avoid it entirely? Absolutely not! You can absolutely still benefit from the many positives that come with power washing; all you have to do is leave it to the professionals, like Majestic! As previously mentioned, we’ve got a tremendous amount of experience in providing professional power washing in Long Island. Most importantly, while we certainly achieve consistently excellent results, we carry out this service in the safest possible way, minimizing the risk to your property and eliminating the risk to your person.

This service can be dangerous, but it’s extremely easy to avoid these dangers by simply calling in Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, your top option for power washing in Seaford, Massapequa and Wantagh. To do just that, give us a call on 631-421-2295, or send an email to MikeMajestic66@gmail.com.

 

 

 

Everybody in life goes through their ups and downs… even when they’re lucky enough to live and work in Long Island, as we do! Given that businesses are obviously owned and run by people, it’s only natural that they too should go through periods of both great success and tougher times. Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning is a business like any other, and – even though we’ve undoubtedly had a successful 10 years of operations – it hasn’t always been plain sailing! The key, of course, is to just accept this reality and avoid panicking in the leaner times. That’s not to say, however, that there’s nothing you can do about it! And we’ve found that often, rather than making sweeping, dramatic changes, there are slight alterations you can make which can end up leading to a significant difference. In this article, we want to talk about one of the quickest and easiest changes you can make, which could certainly have a big impact. As you surely already know, appearances count for a whole lot in business, with first impressions in particular being incredibly important. That’s as true in places like Seaford, Massapequa and Wantagh as it is anywhere else in the world. If you’ve been neglecting the appearance of your commercial premises, even if you’ve only been doing so by accident (which we’re assuming is the case!), that may still have had a sizable negative impact on your bottom line. If you run something like a café or restaurant, a clean exterior suggests a clean interior; considering the huge role which simple hygiene plays in these kinds of businesses, that’s obviously vital. A grubby, neglected exterior – by contrast – will indicate the opposite, whether that’s actually the case or not. Similarly, if you own or manage an office-based business, the cleanliness or lack thereof of the exterior can play a big role. If you don’t take care of the dirt which inevitably builds up over time (and this happens quicker in coastal locations around Long Island), you’ll project a lack of professionalism, which can both dissuade potential clients and reduce your employees’ productivity. These buildups of dirt and other unwanted substances might happen naturally, but you still need to take care of them. By far the best way to do this in our opinion (and we should know!) is via professional power washing, courtesy of a Long Island-based company like Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning. Over the past decade we’ve provided power washing for countless businesses in Seaford, Wantagh, Massapequa and elsewhere in Long Island. In the process we’ve often transformed both the appearance of these commercial premises and – by extension – the impressions they project. Thanks to our high-tech, modern equipment we’re able to carry this service out on commercial properties of absolutely all shapes and sizes, adapting our approach based on this, the type of surface in question, and the specific nature of the issue. If your business is in a funk, you might not necessarily need to take dramatic action. Just because a solution is easy doesn’t mean it’s the wrong choice, and – in power washing – you have an ideal way to reboot the appearance of your business, and hopefully turn around your fortunes. To get started now, simply send us an email at MikeMajestic66@gmail.com, or call 631-421-2295.

While we love both living and working in lovely Long Island, and we wouldn’t trade it for the world, it’s still fair to say that we don’t exactly get the best weather in the country here! A look at our calendars assures us that spring should well and truly be underway by now… though a glance out of our windows most days would suggest anything but!  With that said, spring really is just around the corner here in Long Island, and we’re sure that Nassau County, Suffolk County and the rest of the area will be enjoying sunshine and warmer temperatures in no time. From lengthy experience, we know that the season can change seemingly in an instant here, so it’s important to make sure your home is ready for the change. If it isn’t ready by now… then it’s high time to do something about that! Fortunately, while many people might be well underway with their spring cleaning, it’s certainly not too late to get started on yours. In fact, you’ll be able to catch up in no time with the help of one of our favorite services here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning – power washing. When it comes to cleaning the exterior of a property in a hurry, there’s absolutely nothing that can compete with power washing. Over the course of the winter months, it’s likely that your home will have suffered significant build-ups of a variety of unwanted substances, including dirt and algae. Not only do these nasty things make your home look unsightly; if left unchecked, they can also cause significant lasting damage to your home. A good session of power washing, though, will banish them in no time… and they won’t come back in a hurry either! Of course, there’s a natural temptation to want to carry out this power washing yourself. It’s simply a fun thing to do, and you’ll usually find a few stores in or around Nassau County or Suffolk County offering deals on power washing equipment. We would 100% not recommend this, though. This equipment is extremely powerful (hence the name!), and – in the wrong hands – can easily cause damage to your property and, in the worst cases, your person. That doesn’t sound like a great way to kick off the spring to us! On top of all that, even if no damage is done, it’s highly unlikely you’ll actually get your property clean anyway without professional power washing training… which we’re assuming you don’t have! The safer course of action to take this spring, by far, is to hire a professional power washing company with experience of operating in Suffolk County, Nassau County, and elsewhere in Long Island. Here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, we absolutely tick this box. We’ve been providing power cleaning for customers across the island each spring for over 20 years now. We bring both high-tech equipment and a wealth of experience to every job we undertake, and – thanks to our 100% satisfaction guarantee – there’s absolutely no risk on your part. Again, even if you’re a little behind on your spring cleaning, there’s no need to panic! With professional power washing from Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, your home will be sparkling clean in no time. To contact us now for a free estimate, just call 631-421-2295, or email MikeMajestic66@gmail.com.

Winter weather can be especially tough on your home’s exterior. If it’s located in or near a coastal location, as many houses are here on Long Island, that’s even more likely to be the case. Fortunately, this isn’t a permanent problem! In fact, there’s an extremely quick, easy and effective solution to it – power washing.

While professional power washing is certainly the route we’d recommend as an annual spring cleaning staple, the question you then face is who exactly you should hire to carry it out for you. You’ve certainly got plenty of options here in Long Island… but sometimes, too much choice can be a bad thing! To help you whittle down your list, here are the absolute essentials to look for in any Long Island-based power washing company.

Training

Like just about every other job under the sun, quality power washing requires quality training. If the people operating the equipment don’t know really know how to use it, they could end up doing more harm than good to your property. Here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, for example, we make intensive training an absolute priority for every new employee we hire.

Equipment

Of course, even if you have received a good amount of training… there’s not much you can actually do with it if you’re limited to using inferior equipment!

Before hiring a professional power washing company in Long Island, search for both a mention of the quality of their equipment on the website, and actual evidence – in the form of photos or videos – that those tools are good enough to get the job done.

Track Record

Experience is an absolutely essential thing to look for. Power washing equipment can be dangerous in the wrong hands, but the more experienced a company, the less likely they are to make mistakes. On top of that, they’ll also get the job done more effectively and more efficiently than their lesser-experienced competition.

Guaranteed Success

This is one of the most difficult things to find in a power washing company, whether in Nassau County or Suffolk County, but it could ultimately prove the most important. The last thing you want is to waste your time and money hiring a company… only for them to do an unacceptable job. By finding a company which offers a satisfaction guarantee, you guarantee this isn’t going to happen.

There are plenty of virtues to look for in a professional power washing company, but these are arguably the most important. And, here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, we’re proud to say that we tick every box. In addition to our aforementioned training, we also regularly invest in high-tech equipment, we have a track record stretching back two decades, and we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

If you want to save time, and get started on your power washing right away… simply select the best option in Nassau County and Suffolk County straight away – Majestic! To get in touch with us now, email MikeMajestic66@gmail.com, or call 631-421-2295.

We don’t like to think of Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning as being old… we prefer to think of ourselves as ‘experienced’! After all, while we’ve always strived to give our customers the best possible results, we’ve become vastly more effective at actually doing so as the years have passed by. Majestic was formed here in Long Island all the way back in 1998, meaning we’ve been providing cleaning services for the good people of Bellmore, Massapequa, Seaford and elsewhere for more than two decades. Over the course of those many years, we’ve consistently noticed an upturn in the popularity of our power washing service as spring has dawned… which is happening right about now, of course! Everyone knows that spring cleaning is a great way to shrug off the winter once and for all, and get ready for the warmer, brighter, and arguably more fun months to come! That’s true, of course, for both homeowners and businesses. The issue is… most people don’t really like cleaning, even if it is important! We may be slightly biased, of course, but we’d say that it’s much more preferable to simply pay somebody else to do the actual cleaning for you… and simply enjoy the results! When it comes to sheer visual transformations, there’s no cleaning service that can compare to power washing. Over the course of the winter months, your property – whether it’s residential or commercial – will have accumulated a whole lot of unwanted substances, whether they be dirt, algae or mold. If your property is located near to the coast – as many are here in Long Island – the buildup will have been even more severe. The good news, however, is that all those months of accumulation and visual degradation can be wiped out extremely quickly, thanks to the modern-day miracle of power washing. Here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, we’ve constantly updated our power washing equipment to ensure we’ve stayed on the forefront of current technology. This has allowed us to both achieve consistently better results, and to do so in shorter and shorter amounts of time. Power washing is an extremely powerful service (as the name suggests), but it’s also a very flexible one. It can be used equally effectively on both homes and businesses, and can help to make the spring cleaning of each quick and easy. For both, we can bring our advanced power washing equipment to bear not only on the property itself, but on its surroundings. That includes driveways, outdoor stairs, decks, patios, gutters… and basically anything else you can think of! For your home – whether it’s based in Seaford, Bellmore or Massepequa – a good bout of power washing will instantly make it suitable for entertaining friends and family in the warmer and sunnier months. For your business, by blasting away the dirt which will naturally have built up over the winter, we can make the place seem more inviting and hygienic, helping to both attract new customers and retain existing ones. As you can see, power washing really is the ultimate way to kick start your spring cleaning in Long Island. And, here at Majestic Windows & Exterior Cleaning, we firmly believe we’re your top option for doing just that. To get in touch today, just shoot us an email at MikeMajestic66@gmail.com, or call us on 631-421-2295.
