Isn’t it a great feeling when you get a compliment for something you’ve worked hard on? Nothing is more gratifying than someone recognizing your hard work and complementing you for the effort you’ve invested into it. The appearance of your home is one of those things. As homeowners, we take pride in the look of our home and the countless hours we spend trying to keep the interior clean and the exterior manicured. However, sometimes our schedules get in the way and we aren’t able to spend as much time on it as perhaps we would like. This spring, take a vow to change that! With First Coast Home Pros’ full line of exterior services, you won’t even have to do the work!

This winter was especially rainy and the exterior of your home might require a little more attention than it has in the past. At First Coast Home Pros, we offer all the services you need to enhance your curb appeal. We are a full service exterior house cleaning company, dedicated to being the best service company you have ever invited into your home. Our pressure washing, low pressure roof cleaning, gutter cleaning and window cleaning might be just what it takes to bring your house back to life.

Due to the large amount of rain we’ve experienced this winter, there was an abnormal increase in mold and mildew growth. If you are noticing mold and mildew growth on your home’s exterior after having a recent pressure washing service, it might be resulting from this year’s unusually moist, humid weather conditions. Typically, pressure washing services are only required once a year to keep the home’s exterior looking bright, but considering all the humid weather, it might require another cleaning after only 6 months. Our pressure washing services use the best equipment and the safest low pressure cleaning techniques. It is a great solution for dirty driveways, patios, pool decks, screen enclosures, fences, concrete, brick, pavers, and most stone. Some companies advertise non-pressure exterior cleaning services. However, this process involves large amounts of harsh chemicals that can damage parts of your home. When hiring a Jacksonville pressure washing company, be sure to ask them these 5 questions to ensure you get a safe and effective cleaning. Our pressure washing service is guaranteed to effectively and safely remove dirt, mold, mildew and stains by using low pressure and gentle chemicals.

If you do notice mold or mildew growth on your home’s exterior, we recommend checking the condition of your roof as well. Since roofs are typically slanted, the water rolls off it doesn’t stay damp as long as the driveway. However, if you do notice that it needs to be cleaned, we also offer a low pressure roof cleaning service. Our technicians are equipped to clean all types of roofs including asphalt, fiberglass shingle, wood shingle, ceramic tile, concrete tile, barrel tile, slate and metal with our safe, low pressure method. Having a clean roof is one of the most noticeable aspects of your home and our services will help to instantly boost the overall appearance of your home. Be sure not to use a company with power washing or non-pressure washing techniques as it will leave damaging effects by either blasting the shingles or leaving strong chemicals to soak in the sun.

First Coast Homes Pros also offers gutter cleaning and protection services so you don’t have to risk your safety. More and more homeowners are taking on DIY projects, however, this is one necessary project that isn’t worth the risk of doing it yourself. Our gutter cleaning service is perhaps one of the most important maintenance services for the home since having clogged gutters can cause significant (totally preventable) damage. Removing the debris will help to reduce mildew from growing and dirty water from overflowing onto your house and landscaping.

Another exterior service we recommend for boosting your curb appeal this spring is window cleaning. This job takes a lot of skill and is time consuming. If you are reaching out for help with freshening up the rest of your house, we doubt you have the time to clean the windows. Professionally cleaned windows will brighten up the whole look of your house and will have your neighbors asking for the secret to your homes’ glow. Realtors even recommend doing a window washing when you are trying to sell because the whole house will shine. We use a biodegradable cleaning solution that won’t harm your windows or trim and leave the glass gleaming!

After the not-so-fun but necessary jobs are done, you can plan the creative DIY projects to bring a personal touch to your home. The front porch is often the focal point of a house so try changing the paint color, adding a wreath or polishing the metal fixtures on the front door. By also adding symmetry to the front porch, it will look more appealing and polished. If you don’t already have outdoor lighting, try adding lights to brighten the front walkway or add spot lights to display the landscaping. Give your mailbox a makeover by touching up the paint, replacing the house numbers or adding fresh spring flowers.
