It’s no secret that being a homeowner is expensive. That much, we all know. There’s always something going wrong or something that needs upgrading as it’s aged well past its prime. A lot of folks have limited budgets and it can be difficult to know where to allocate financial resources. Which home improvement jobs really need to be done, and which can wait? There are several types of home improvements with a positive ROI. These aren’t just a financial black hole, but rather an investment that you profit from. Pressure washing is one such job.
We’ve been one of the leading Long Island pressure washing service teams for over 25 years, and in this post, we’re going to share a number of short and long-term financial benefits that our customers enjoy.
How Pressure Washing Can Help You Win Financially
You know pressure washing your Long Island home will cost you money. And you know it’ll make your home look cleaner. But what else? Let’s take a deeper dive into the economics of your investment.
Less of Your Time Spent on Cleaning
Time is money. Isn’t that what they say?! Hiring a professional pressure washing company is one way to save a boatload of it. Without a pressure washer, you could quite literally invest days of your time trying to manually scrub down and clean all of the exterior surfaces of your home, depending on how big it is.
In one pressure washing session, a professional team can complete the same work, to a higher standard, in just an hour or two. We should all put a price on our time given that it’s a finite resource, and if you do, the cost of pressure washing is far cheaper than the cost of your time to complete the same work manually.
Spend Less on a Regular Cleaner
If you’ve always had your regular “handyman” take care of the maintenance of the outside of your home up until now, you might have been spending far more than needed to keep this area clean. If he/she was just using the garden hose and a cleaning wand for this job, they either would have been taking far longer than necessary (which adds up when you’re paying them hourly) or the standard of the end result would be significantly lower. Probably both!
You can stop paying for all of these extra hours of labor by hiring professional pressure washers instead.
Reduce the Amount of Significant Home Repairs Needed
If you don’t look after things, they wear out quicker and need replacing. That’s what my parents taught me and it’s oh so true, even when talking about things like home exteriors and garden furniture. These things are exposed to the elements, year-round and their condition can really take a hammering if they’re not kept clean. Dirt, mold and mildew can really speed up the deterioration of these things, meaning you have to spend out on replacing or repairing them.
Investing in pressure washing services regularly can really slow down that process, meaning these costs can be delayed much further into the future, and won’t be required nearly so often.
Increase Your Home’s Curb Appeal + Resale Value
A drab exterior that looks uncared for and poorly maintained is a sure-fire way to significantly decrease the valuation a real estate agent would put on your property. Pressure washing is something that cannot just change that outcome, it can completely reverse it.
You see pressure washing will bring your exterior to life and make it a desirable feature of your home rather than a justification of why the property is worth less. You might not be thinking about selling your home right now, but one day you might. If and when that moment arrives, you’ll be thankful that you invested in pressure washing for this very reason.
More Interest in Your Home Means A Quicker Sale
If you’ve ever been through the process of selling your home, you’ll be only too aware that it can be extremely slow and drawn-out. Even more so if you have very little interest in the property. This may result in your missing out on the purchase of the property where you wanted to move as they can’t wait for you or if you’re moving town or even state, it may significantly increase the amount you spend on temporary rental accommodation while you’re waiting for the sale to go through.
Pressure washing your home’s exterior is not only good because it’ll increase your property’s curb appeal. It’s good because it can have a MASSIVE impact on the first impression that people who come to view the property are given. It transforms it into a space that they can see themselves living in. And that greatly increases the chances that they’ll make an offer. More potential buyers usually results in a quicker sale, and it may even result in a higher sale price too if a bidding war starts.
