Benefits of Power Washing Your White Plains Home’s Deck

roof washing, local, power washing, pressure washing, pressure cleaning, Bedford Hills best roof washingThe places most of us spend outdoors are on our patio, deck, and pool deck. Patios and decks are constructed of cement, wood, tile, stone,  and composite. 

As Westchester summer temperatures rise and humidity, the resulting mold, and mildew can turn your deck and patio green with dirt and grime. Thereby making them hard to enjoy and entertain family and friends.

At Westchester Power Washing, we know spending time with loved ones is more important this year than ever. 

The best way to keep your patio and deck looking clean and perfect is to pressure wash it regularly.

Westchester Power washing professionally removes built-up mold and mildew, refreshing its surface while helping prevent permanent damage and staining. 

 

Time To Get Rid Of Mold, Algae, Mildew, and Dirt From Your Patio and Deck

Before discussing the additional benefits of having your patio and deck washed, let’s look at what you might be seeing on these surfaces.

wood deck, patios, cement, brick and pool areas pressure cleaned and washedJust like siding and roofs, patios and decks are exposed to the elements and need to be maintained to extend their lifespan. Airborne algae find their way to your patio and deck’s surfaces, latch on, and grow until they leave permanent stains behind. 

These algae combine with moisture-loving mold and mildew, creating a perfect breeding ground for contaminants to further ruin your patio and deck. Add in the dirt and grime from foot traffic, our pets as well as from landscaping and it’s easy to see why your patio and deck need regular cleaning to look their best. 

To help understand what you can do to keep everything clean and protected, let’s look at the benefits of professional power washing for your deck. 

  • Patio & Deck Washing Saves Time and Money 
  • Routine maintenance for your patio and deck helps keep them beautiful while helping prevent costly damages due to weather, mold, mildew, bacteria, and fungi. Power washing is much cheaper than the cost of replacing even small portions of your patio or deck.
  • Raw materials can average $25 per square foot, and the cost of lumber has skyrocketed due to the higher demand for building materials due to the robust housing market. In short, the cost of replacing your roof, patio, siding, and deck is the most expensive it has ever been.

There are many types of patios and decks, ranging from Trex, wood, tile, cement, brick, stone, and composite. Pressure washing is a safe and effective way to clean and protect Trex, wood, stone, brick, tile, cement, and composite decks.

Question: I’ve hired Westchester Power Washing before to clean my roof and pressure wash my home, patio, and deck, I just have a few questions about your Scarsdale Home Pressure Washing & Cleaning Services.
I notice that due to the extreme humidity here in New York, there are long black streaks running down the north side of both of my roofs. These black streaks, I learned by reading your “Roof and Home Washing” blog can lead to other issues including mold and mildew, as well as reduced energy efficiency a loss of curb appeal of my homes.
I used to wait to get my roof clean it got really bad looking but now that I am more educated (thanks to your blogs). I realize a dirty roof could lead to my shingles being eaten by the fungus, mold, algae, and lichens. So getting your roof cleaned when you see it is dirty is important or repair can be much more costly.
Summer is near and we have more humidity coming, should I wait to contact you to come after the humidity decreases or should I address the black stains and streaks on my roof now.
In addition, I need to have my house pressure washed which includes my pool deck, patio, driveway, walkways, stairs, fence, and my outdoor furniture (you did an excellent job before so, thanks!).
Peter, could you please provide me with an answer to my questions above. I am sure other people have similar questions and as the population ages, finding people who know what they are doing and you can trust is mandatory as we are vulnerable consumers.
Answer:
 
Thank you for our past business and for your years of roof washing and home pressure cleaning referrals. You asked me not to mention your name, so I left it out.
The aging population is increasing and are vulnerable consumers when it comes to being taken advantage of. This is also due to many older people having limited mobility which necessitates hiring others to do the work you once could do for yourself.
Yes, the black streaks on the roof do appear mostly on the north side of the roof which has nothing to do with your particular home it is related to the fact that the north side of your roof gets the least amount of sun and stays wet and damp the longest. These black stains are also more apparent when you have tall trees and there is lots of shade thereby not allowing the sun to dry off the roof quicker.
The black streaks, as they are commonly called are actually black algae or roof mold. Besides being unsightly, they do tend to take away from your curb appeal and I assume based on the number of homes, your tenant’s enjoyment from an aesthetic appeal as well.
Not to sound the alarm, but there is also a health reason to maintain your roof as algae, mold, fungus, and lichens can affect humans and pets. So getting this resolved has multiple benefits for you, your family, and your tenants.
As your home ages, just like us humans, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
In response to whether you should wait until the humidity passes to clean your roof and home, as you know, every season creates a new set of circumstances for your house and roof to endure. With that, I suggest having your house and roof washed now and then allow us to provide you with our regular scheduled maintenance plan which saves you money and gets your home in the condition you are proud of, and maintains the value of your home.

If you see black streaks on your roof, mold, mildew, lichens, or moss, call Westchester Power Washing at 914-490-8138.

More than likely, your dirty roof needs to be soft-washed. Soft washing removes black streaks, mold, mildew, lichens, moss, and of course, dirt from your roof.

Homeowners think a dirty roof needs to be replaced. If you call a roofing contractor, they will likely tell you to replace your roof. Why? Roof contractors make money replacing roofs. Furthermore, roof replacement can cost as much as ten times the price of having your roof cleaned. If your roof is less than 25 years old, you may just need to have your roof professionally shampooed and cleaned.

Black streaks are caused by roof algae. The technical term for roof algae that cause the black streaks on your roof is Gloeocapsa Magma. Algae feed on the crushed limestone used in asphalt shingles. As rain washes down your roof, it spreads algae down your roof causing the black streaks you see. Black streaks cause shingles to fail prematurely by not preventing the shingles from reflecting heat properly.

Research has shown 50% of dirty roofs in New York are replaced because of black streaks not because they are damaged.

 

Unfortunately, when homeowners see a dirty roof, they think it is time to replace their roof. This is usually not true. Research has shown more than half the roofs replaced in Westchester County, NY were replaced because of how they look and not their condition. Therefore, more than 50% of roofs need to be professionally washed, not replaced. In fact, this means, people who replace their roofs have simply wasted their money.

Roofs in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess County, New York experience a lot of humidity, rain, and snow. This moisture promotes algae to grow on the roof. The algae create black streaks and the roof looks dirty, old, and damaged. As stated before, this is just a dirty roof not a roof in need of replacement.

We clean cedar, slate, shingle, and asphalt roofs in Scarsdale, Armonk, Katonah, Bronxville, Chappaqua, Bedford, Bedford Hills, White Plains, Tarrytown, Briarcliff Manor, and Croton on The Hudson since 1990. As a result, we have restored many slate, shingle, and asphalt roofs by soft washing them with our eco-friendly cleaning solution.

How do I know when my dirty roof needs to be washed or replaced?

 

Just as mold and mildew grow on your vinyl siding, wind-blown algae lands and grows on your slate, cedar, asphalt, and shingle roof. Remember, your home’s exterior just like the interior needs to be washed and cleaned. Therefore, when your house, patio, deck, roof, siding, fence, outdoor furniture gets dirty, pressure washing saves you money being cleaning not replacing.

Most roof contractors do not know the difference between a dirty roof with algae and black streaks versus a roof in need of repair or replacement. Roof contractors sell roofs, not clean roofs. Also, some roof contracting companies do not know the roof is dirty because they are not educated in roof maintenance which includes roof washing.

If you are thinking about replacing your roof because it is dirty, you see black streaks or your roof looks faded, call Westchester Power Washing first at 914-490-8138. We will take a look at your roof and give you a FREE roof cleaning and washing estimate.

 

While there we can also see if your siding, deck, patio, fence, walls, or pavers needs pressure washing. If so we will provide you with a FREE complete exterior house washing quote.

What are the signs of a dirty roof that needs to be replaced?

 

To being with, never use a pressure washer on an asphalt, shingle, or slate roof. A pressure washer will damage the granules on your shingles and lessen your roof’s life and longevity.

Roof shingle manufacturers like Owens Corning and GAF as well as the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommend a soft wash method to restore shingles with roof algae. Westchester Power Washing uses the cleaners and methods recommended by these companies, to provide you with a safe and damage-free roof washing and cleaning.

If your roof shingles do need to be replaced, we can recommend a reputable roof contractor if you need one. Furthermore, we do not recommend cleaning shingles that are in need of being replaced. In addition, our customers in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess County, NY can attest, we believe true customer service starts with integrity.

Therefore, when you recommend us for roof, house, siding, deck, patio, or fence washing, you’re recommending a professional company. As well as one that cares about your neighbors, friends, and family.

If not sure if your roof shingles need replacement or need cleaning, below are some signs of an aged roof in need of replacement.


1) dry rotted, brittle, or crumbling shingles
2) excessive amounts of shingle granules in your gutters, sidewalk, or landscape
3) notice the bottom corners of shingles are curled up, twisted, or lifting up
4) warped, wavy, or heaved shingles
5) shingles are thinning out or are loose or falling off

 

If you see your roof exhibiting these conditions, your roof is in need of repair and maybe full replacement.

If you are cannot see your roof or are not sure about what we just described, and you are thinking about whether you should wash or replace your roof, give Westchester Power Washing a call.

Furthermore, we come to your home and see if your roof washing is the best option. Westchester Power Washing never washed a roof that needs to be repaired or replaced. In addition, we give our professional opinion if cleaning your roof is not safe nor worth your investment.
