It’s the time each year to get rid of the things around the house that we no longer need and do a general tidy-up to prepare for the holidays.
We all know how good it feels when we’ve cleaned and organized everything inside of our homes, but what about the outside? What good is making the inside of our homes spotless if we are going to leave the outside dirty and unpresentable? And once that you’ve completely cleansed the interior of your home, you often have no time, energy, OR resources to clean the exterior. Don’t worry!

Trim and Mow your Yard
Let’s start with something easy. Your grass is probably not as neat and tidy as it could be. Cut your lawn, trim your hedges, and prune anything else that needs to be pruned. Clean up the yard trimmings, and you’re ready to move to the next tip.Paint the Front Door, Your Trim, and Shutters
A good can of exterior paint will cost you $30 a gallon. Painting your home can add brightness. It can also make a home look newer in less than an hour. Painting your front door a bold color has become a trend. However, there’s nothing wrong with painting it a more standard color – like black or white. If you’re selling your home, you don’t want to make decisions that alienate home buyers. While you have your paint brushes and gallon of paint, tackle other projects. Paint your trim, shutters, window coverings, and other exterior features of your home. Trim can become particularly worn-down over the years.Upgrade your House Numbers
Take a look at the numbers on the outside of your home. Have you ever replaced, cleaned, or painted those numbers? If not, then it may be time for an upgrade. Buy new house numbers to enhance your curb appeal. It’s another simple upgrade that can make an immediate impact on your curb appeal. Simple house numbers start at $2.00 per number from any hardware store. If you’re feeling fancy, however, you can also order customized plaque-mounted numbers online.Plant Trees
Have you ever thought your home looked a little bare? If so, then it may be a good idea to plant a tree. We’re not talking about heading to a forest and chopping down a 14 foot tall evergreen. Instead, plant a simple, small tree in a tasteful location in your yard. Surround it with some soil and rocks, and you’ve just become an amateur landscaper.Buy a Nicer Mailbox
A mailbox can make a significant difference in the curb appeal of your home. It might be one of the first things a homebuyer sees when they drive up. Obviously, don’t try anything too quirky if you’re trying to sell the home. However, a fashionable wooden pillar with a decorative cap up top can instantly boost the curb appeal of your home. If you don’t feel like doing this one yourself, you can buy new mailboxes from any hardware store starting at around $20.Invest in Exterior Lighting
There’s a common misconception with curb appeal: many people only focus on how their home will look during the day, when in reality, homebuyers can appear at any time of day or night (even if they show up with a realtor during the day, they might drive by later that night). That’s why you should invest in better exterior lighting. A good set of exterior lights illuminates your entryway and walkway, making guests feel safe and welcome.Pressure Wash Everything
Many homeowners are surprised by the effect a good pressure wash can have on the exterior of their home. Pressure wash your walls, your driveway, your sidewalk, your garden stones, and anything else you want to wipe clean. Out of all the tips on this list, this is the best tip if you’re looking for something easy with high reward.Don’t Have Time? Talk to the Exterior Cleaning Professionals
Need help beautifying your home’s exterior? Talk to the Long Island exterior cleaning professionals at Majestic Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing for local rates and professional-grade window cleaning, pressure washing, and other exterior cleaning services. Oh, and here’s one more tip: before you work with the tips listed above, take a picture of your home from the curb. Then, once you’ve implemented all the tips, take another picture and notice the enormous difference. If you can spot the differences immediately, you did it right. Now go sell your home – or just sit in your front yard and enjoy the view.
How to Wash Like a Pro: Tips and Tricks
Sure, you could fire up the pressure washer and start blasting at every piece of grime you see but there’s a smarter way to pressure wash. Follow the tips below to see how the professional pressure washers do it.- Spend time preparing the area before you pressure wash; sweep dirt, dust, and debris away from the surface otherwise, you’re just going to make a mess and it’s going to take longer to clean your driveway
- When cleaning most hard surfaces, use 4 to 6g GPM (gallons per minute) at 2,000 to 3000 PSI (pounds per square inch); this is considered to be medium pressure by most commercial contractors
- The only exception to this pressure rule is when cleaning wood or other “softer” surfaces, in which case you should use 500 to 2,000 psi
- Consider testing a piece of wood with your pressure washer before you begin washing, especially if you’re unsure about the PSI; find a spare piece of lumber, or flip the board over to see how your pressure washer affects the surface
- You have more options than just sandblasting; if sandblasting is too expensive, or the sand is too harsh, consider “soda blasting”, where you use baking soda as a softer, environmentally-friendly alternative to sandblasting
Choosing the Perfect Nozzle
Choosing a nozzle requires careful consideration of a number of different factors. Here are some tips to determine the right nozzle size:- The nozzle plays a crucial role in your cleaning process; nozzle size and spray angle determines the gallons per minute at different water pressures
- To determine nozzle size, you need to know the GPM (gallons per minute) and PSI (pounds per square inch) recommended for the surface you’re cleaning
- When your nozzle size increases, it reduces the PSI of your pressure washer without changing the flow
- When you reduce the pressure of your washer with the unloader, you decrease both the PSI and the GPM; smart contractors reduce the PSI by increasing nozzle size, not by adjusting PSI
- Zero degree nozzles concentrate all cleaning power into a very tight area, while 65 degree nozzles spread water to a wider area; typically, 40 degree nozzles are the most popular option because they provide strong cleaning power while still cleaning a large amount of surface space
- Rotating nozzles are another popular option; rotating nozzles combine the power of a zero degree nozzle with the coverage of a wider-angle nozzle
- When looking at nozzle labels, you’ll find that the standard nozzle size is a #4 orifice, which means the nozzle delivers 4 GPM at 4,000 PSI
- Understand that PSI isn’t constant throughout the length of the spray; your nozzle’s PSI measurement is based on the PSI when the water leaves the nozzle – the further you are from your target, the lower your PSI will be
Tips for Renting Versus Buying a Pressure Washer
One of the biggest pressure washing questions is whether you should rent or buy a pressure washer. Which one is the right choice for you?- If you own a home, and you plan to pressure wash once or twice a year for the foreseeable future, then buying a pressure washer is a smart option (assuming you have the storage space for the pressure washer)
- An average household pressure washer will cost between $350 and $600; if you want a professional model, then you can easily spend over $800
- Meanwhile, renting a better, more professional washer for a single day will cost you about $75 to $100
- You also need to factor in costs like maintenance and fuel
- Avoid electric pressure washers; yes, they’re cheaper, but they rarely provide the power needed to clean a full-sized home, property, or vehicle; typical electric pressure washers operate at 2400 cleaning units (PSI x GPM), while even average-grade gas engine pressure washers clean at over 6,000 cleaning units
Like many of our friends and customers in areas like Huntington, Dix Hills, Melville and more, we feel truly blessed to be able to live and work in lovely Long Island. There are few places in the world we’d rather be.
We’re also fully aware, however, that living here does have one major drawback: the Long Island climate can take a significant toll on the exterior of our homes. This is particularly true for those who are lucky enough to live in coastal areas, as their houses are exposed even more to the rough elements.
In situations like this, it can often be the case that a regular exterior cleaning session doesn’t get the job done. To truly get your home looking back to its best – something which is particularly important to people in the summer months – you need something a bit more powerful. That’s where pressure washing comes in.
Our work takes us all around Long Island, and it’s fair to say that – whether it be in Melville, Dix Hills or Huntington – pressure washing is one of our most popular services. You can easily see why. Your home is your most valuable asset, after all, and pressure washing doesn’t just make the exterior look clean again; it’s also vitally important for the long-term health of your house. That’s because it helps to get rid of all those nasty things like mold and mildew which inevitably build up over time and, if left unchecked, can end up causing significant long-term damage.
Another reason for the popularity of our pressure washing service is that it’s so versatile. As well as the exterior of your home, we can also clean your driveways, footpaths and decking, helping them to look just as good as they did on the day they were installed.
While it may be tempting to save money by doing pressure washing yourself, the risks of DIY pressure washing may significantly outweigh the potential benefits. There are plenty of stories every year of homeowners who attempted to pressure wash their own homes, and ended up inadvertently harming their houses; or, even worse, themselves. In 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 6,057 emergency room visits caused by pressure washing accidents – with 14% of casues requiring additional hospitalization.
With Majestic Windows and Exterior Cleaning, potential injuries don’t need to be a concern. We’ve been in business for over twenty years now, and our founder – Mike Weyer – built up plenty more experience with other companies in the Melville, Huntington and Dix Hills areas before that. When it comes to pressure washing, it’s fair to say that we know what we’re doing!
On top of that, we have an unshakeable belief in the importance of getting the job done right. That’s important both for our own professional satisfaction, and in the hope that if we do a good job for you, we can build a relationship that can last for years to come.
If you’re nervous about putting your house’s health in the hands of other people for the first time, we get it. We like to think, however, that our track record (as shown by our excellent testimonials) speaks for itself. If you’re still a little wary, please know that we are fully covered by insurance, ensuring peace of mind both for us, and for you.
Simply because of the conditions of where they’re situated, houses in Long Island need a little more care and attention than those elsewhere. Regular pressure washing is an amazing, effective way of ensuring the long-term health of your home’s exterior, as well as making it look as attractive as possible.
