There are many articles and tips written for people selling their homes and commercial properties. We are always reminded to do the same things that have been suggested for many years.
- Get a fresh coat of paint.
- Mow the lawn.
- Find the little things to fix.
- Do whatever you can to make it homey.
- The house needs to look spacious and open.
- Keep things neutral during the open house.
- Clean up the closets.
- Clean the roof that has algae "black streaks", lichen and moss.
- Clean the sidewalks, patios and driveway.
- Clean the deck that is discolored and growing algae.
- Clean the vinyl siding & metal work. Some areas have algae growth and the metal work is covered with dirt and mold spores.
- Clean the exterior of the gutters.
WHICH HOME WOULD YOU BUY?
I always find it amazing how much value you can get out of a professional exterior cleaning for such a small investment. The roof in particular, is the first thing a potential buyer see's when they pull up to a property. If that roof looks shabby and growth is showing, that may be just enough to turn off the buyer. A small investment in a roof cleaning can avoid this problem and bring in better offers from potential buyers.
ReplyDeleteGreat before and after picture of the two homes. A home will lose value when it is not maintained and taken care of. Roof cleaning is a must to maintain the life of the roof and eliminate the algae. Great work!
ReplyDeleteBrett excellent roof cleaning in Virginia. I know if I was to pick which home I wanted it would be the house with the clean roof.
ReplyDeleteI will buy the second home and your techniques also.

What you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand.
