Benefits to Power Washing
Everyone realizes power washing greatly improves the “curb appeal” of a home or business. Most also agree that the appearance and cleanliness of a property is one of the most important aspects in the value and marketability of a property. Clean, neat properties get higher appraisals, “show" better, attract more customers, investors and potential buyers... thus the reason customers contact Hydro Scrub... "We Make You Look Your Best”.
Still need more reasons to power wash? Well, if your project involves...
Building Washing
- Remove flaking paint which is not sound.
- Find rotten wood in need of replacement.
- Clean surfaces to prevent poorly adhering paint... ensure a long lasting paint job.
- Protect surfaces... realize that algae and mildew can damage wood surfaces similar to that of wood destroying insects, such as termites.

Roof and Gutter Washing
- Remove black mold, mildew, algae, and lichens from roof surfaces.
