Spring is on its way, and now is the time to schedule a professional power wash to rid your home of mold, mildew and winter grime
By Mimi Vanderhaven
The official start of spring is just 30 days away, and that means it’s time to schedule seasonal home improvement projects, including ridding your home’s exterior of mold, mildew and relentless winter grime. Nothing comes close to creating dramatic curb appeal like freshly cleaned vinyl siding and pristine driveways, patios, walkways, rooftops, and windows.
“Power washing has become the go-to spring maintenance project,” says Ken Wilson, founder of the locally owned Pristine Clean. “Partly because of the instant improvement in the look of your home, and partly because proper cleaning and sealing adds years of life to your siding, roof and concrete surfaces, saving you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run.”
High-Tech Equipment and Training
Over the winter, Pristine Clean invested in additional leading-edge trucks, equipment and highly trained staff. “All of our trucks are outfitted with modern soft-wash machines that allow us to get the job done safely and effectively,” Ken adds. “You end up with a beautiful, clean home without damage to your property. We’ve also added technicians who go through a strict hands-on apprenticeship program to make sure they perform to our standards regarding safety, quality and efficiency.”
And homeowners are noticing. Pristine Clean has more than 750 Google reviews with an average 4.9-star rating, and they are highly rated on Facebook, HomeAdvisor, and the Better Business Bureau.
A Culture of Respect
In addition to full licensing and insurance, Pristine stands behind its work with a customer care team dedicated to ensuring every client is fully satisfied. Although the company is large and professional, they offer local, compassionate care. “It’s who we are,” Ken says. “We offer gentle and effective cleaning with top-quality products that are safe for your family, pets and landscaping, and we are respectful of you and your family.”
This respectfulness extends to pricing, too. Unlike home services companies that lead with exaggerated pricing, Pristine’s flat-rate pricing model means every customer gets a fair price up front. “You pay what your neighbors pay,” Ken says.
Siding, Windows, Roofs, Driveways
Pristine Clean’s soft-wash services include cleaning winter grime from your home. While you don’t have to paint vinyl siding, you should clean it to prevent dirt, algae and bacteria from breaking down its UV protective coating. And while the team is there, you can even perform spot-free window cleaning.
The company is also renowned for safely cleaning roofs, including those unsightly black streaks that are actually gloeocapsa magma, an algae that breaks down your roof by feeding off of the limestone granules in the shingles. And the Pristine team can give your roof a brand-new look (see the sidebar on this page).
Finally, Pristine cleans and seals driveways and other concrete surfaces to protect them from cracking and boost your home’s curb appeal.
Though spring is still 30 days away, you’ll want to ensure prompt service by getting on Pristine Clean’s schedule now.
The Pristine Roof Renew
Since launching its cutting-edge roof restoration service three years ago, Pristine Clean has saved home owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in costly roof replacement, and more are signing up for the service. Here’s how it works:
The Pristine Roof Renew uses an environmentally safe asphalt shingle rejuvenator that extends the life of your entire roof for 5 to 10 years. The soy-based, eco-friendly application works by restoring lost oils to the shingles, dramatically increasing their flexibility and durability.
The application also waterproofs the surface of your roof and reduces the effects of oxidation and bacteria growth.
“Before we even considered this new service, I tried it on my own roof and was blown away,” says Pristine Clean founder Ken Wilson. “The service saved me thousands of dollars over a roof replacement, and now we’re offering it to all of our clients whose roofs have seen better days. And with over 12 million tons of non-recyclable shingles filling our landfills each year, it’s an environmentally friendly option.”
