Seasonal Maintenance: Preparing Your Home’s Exterior for Winter Post-Holiday Cleanup
As the new year arrives and the holiday season becomes nothing more than happy memories, the time has come for post-holiday cleanup. The professional Christmas light installation crew has taken down the strands of eco-friendly LED bulbs. Now, your thoughts turn to seasonal maintenance like exterior cleaning, fixups, and inspection. What do you do first? What can you do yourself, and what do you need a professional residential exterior cleaning company like The Cannon for?
Outdoor Christmas Lights and Decoration Removal
Post-holiday cleanup involves removing outdoor Christmas light strands and other decorations first. If you hire The Cannon in Athens, GA to put up a great residential light display, the team will come to remove them for you, too. This is the best bet for safety and ease. Experienced workers know how to detach lights with no damage to your home. The winter holidays are stressful enough. Now is the time to relax and let someone else take care of things for a while.
Climbing up ladders to get the job done can even combine with seasonal inspection services. What a perfect time to peek in the gutters and at the roof to spot any clogs or growth that needs removal. People who own properties and are responsible for their seasonal maintenance need all the information about every surface in order to make smart decisions about exterior clean-up and maintenance.
Inspect and Repair Exterior Damage
Before cleaning up everything, it is important to know if anything around the house or property is damaged, worn out, or needs repair. The new year is a great time to do this in Georgia. Like other services on this list, inspection should be carried out by people who know what they are doing. As a homeowner, you will undoubtedly notice a new stain on your driveway or some discolored moss growth on your roof. However, you may not recognize the extent of the maintenance needs.
Take the time to go through a thorough seasonal maintenance process from start to finish. The sooner problems get noticed, the sooner you can deal with them. This saves you tons of headaches and money down the road. Inspections should include viewing the roof for any loose or damaged shingles, looking for gaps in the flashing, eaves, and siding, making sure all windows and doors are sealed properly, and assessing organic growth on all surfaces. Get anything repaired promptly before moving on to the refreshing stage of home maintenance.
Georgia Pressure Washing Services
A huge part of seasonal maintenance involves making sure your Georgia property is clean. Spring cleaning services for the interior spaces, but professional power washing the exterior refreshes outside surfaces. The Cannon team uses high-pressure water streams with the utmost care and skill in order to remove dirt, grim, mold, and most stains from hard surfaces.
What surfaces benefit from residential exterior cleaning using these methods? Almost all of them! Pressure washing services can handle shingles, concrete, aluminum and vinyl siding, brick, stone, wood, and more. This is not a do-it-yourself project to undertake right after the holiday season is over. Not only does it take special equipment, but many homeowners do not have the right skills or experience to clean different materials effectively or without damage.
Roof and Gutter Cleaning for the New Year
Problems in a home often start at the top and work their way down. This happens primarily because water is one of the most challenging things to deal with if it goes where it is not supposed to. One worn shingle can introduce a leak that damages the interior structure or introduces unhealthy mold into your home. A clogged gutter can create floods and destroy landscaping of beautiful Georgia bushes and flowers.
Gutter cleaning helps:
- Blast out debris like leaves and twigs.
- Prevent overflows and leaks.
- Direct drainage properly away from your foundation.
- Make your gutters and downspouts last much longer.
- Improve the appearance of your home’s exterior.
Roof and gutter cleaning are some of the most important parts of seasonal maintenance. It is definitely something you want professional help with. More injuries happen with ladders than anything else around the home. The Cannon residential exterior cleaning experts also offer pressure washing services for roofs and gutters.
Landscaping Cleanup – Eco-Friendly Solutions
Seasonal maintenance involves a lot of walking around the yard, setting up ladders in unusual places, and high-pressure water jets splashing back on surfaces and landscaping. All these things can wreak havoc on the appearance of your outside living space if you try to do it all yourself or hire unprofessional people. Experts with the right type of knowledge and experience will minimize disruption and make sure everything looks better than when they arrived. Your home’s curb appeal depends on it.
Along with hiring the right team, it is important to choose eco-friendly house washing options to protect the Earth and your own flowers and plants. A gorgeous Georgia garden filled with summertime zinnias, marigolds, and impatiens will not grow well if the garden gets messed up or soaked with chemical solutions. Pressure washing can help you avoid these issues down the road.
Prepare Your Home for New Year Weather
Even though the Athens, GA area does not get harsh snow and ice like northern states, there is plenty of wet weather to deal with in the coming months. One of the best ways to prepare your home is to invest in concrete sealing services. Your driveway, walkways, and patios will thank you for this extra layer of protection. After thorough driveway and patio cleaning is done, a sealant layer properly applied extends the lifespan and prevents unattractive and expensive issues.
The winter holidays are over, and every homeowner’s thoughts turn to the new year. Proper inspection, maintenance, repairs, cleaning, and protection help every exterior surface on your property. With The Cannon pressure washing experts on your side, you can achieve a brighter future with lower risk of expensive problems and a better looking home to enjoy in every season.
