Why power washing is a big deal for HOAs
Sure, power washing cleans, but the importance of that cleaning goes deeper than many people realize. On one hand, it’s an opportunity to inspect. When we power wash a community we look for signs of damage and decay, like damaged stucco or wood rot. Catching and repairing these issues early drives down your maintenance costs by preventing what will certainly be a bigger fix down the road.
At the same time, power washing also removes contaminants that actually shorten the lifespan of your paint and stain. Routinely cleaned surfaces last longer and look better.
How touch-ups and routine painting save you money
Smaller investments in ongoing care go a long way to protect your budget. If you wait until total paint failure, not only do you have an unsightly property, but you also need to pay for much more extensive surface preparation, caulking, and paint products. Even if you decide to completely repaint in a few years, your surfaces will be in much better condition than they would be if you had ignored them.
Carpentry and wood rot repairs
It’s easy to ignore that rot starting to set in around your eaves, or maybe along that window or door trim… Catch it early and catch it quickly! This is a prime time, especially after spring rains give way to our Bay Area sunshine.
Repair cracked and damaged stucco
A hairline crack is common and not a big issue… But who’s monitoring and watching to make sure that crack doesn’t spread? If it gets wide enough to fit a credit card inside (as a good rule of thumb), it should be repaired. Otherwise you run the risk of moisture intrusion, pests finding their way in, and more.
Stucco may be durable, but it still requires proactive care just like any other surface. Make sure you partner with an HOA painting company that has ALL your needs covered and makes the process easy.
