Spring is finally here and it’s time for a professional power wash to rid your home of mold, mildew and winter grime

By Mimi Vanderhaven

For a while there, we thought it would never happen: Spring. But the season has finally begun and with it comes plenty of home improvement projects, including ridding your home and concrete surfaces of mold, mildew and relentless winter grime. Nothing comes close to creating dramatic curb appeal like freshly cleaned vinyl siding and pristine driveways, patios and walkways—all without the hassle and expense of labor-intensive painting or concrete pours.

“Power washing has become the go-to spring maintenance project,” says Pristine Clean founder Ken Wilson. “Partly because of the instant improvement in the look of your home, and partly because proper cleaning and sealing adds years of life to your siding, roof and concrete surfaces, saving you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run.”

But if you’re looking for a professional power washing service, schedule it now. Here in Northeast Ohio, demand for a proper clean and seal outweighs supply so you want to get on the schedule now.

High-Tech Equipment and Training
Over the winter, Pristine Clean foresaw this increased demand and invested in additional leading-edge trucks, equipment and highly trained staff.

“All of our trucks are now outfitted with modern machines that use higher water volume—instead of higher water pressure—to get the job done safely and effectively,” Ken adds. “You end up with a beautiful, clean home without damage to your property. We’ve also added technicians who go through a strict hands-on apprenticeship program to make sure they perform to our standards regarding safety, quality and efficiency.”

A Customer Care Team
In addition to full insurance, Pristine stands behind its work with a customer care team dedicated to ensuring every client is fully satisfied. They employ a six-step process that includes a comprehensive understanding of the job to be performed, an honest price and reminders of your upcoming service. The process ends when you are completely satisfied.

“Over the last 14 years, we have grown a lot in volume,” Ken adds. “But our mantra is that we have also grown in professionalism and quality. It’s a journey. And every year we don’t rest. We train, we invest in new equipment, and we get better and better at what we do.”

Siding, Roofs, Driveways
Pristine Clean’s soft-wash services include cleaning winter grime from your home. While you don’t have to paint vinyl siding, you should clean it to prevent dirt, algae and bacteria from breaking down its UV protective coating.

The company is also renowned for safely cleaning roofs, including those unsightly black streaks that are actually gloeocapsa magma, an algae that breaks down your roof by feeding off of the limestone granules in the shingles.

Pristine also cleans and seals driveways and other concrete surfaces to protect them from cracking due to Northeast Ohio’s harsh winters.

The Pristine Roof Renew
Since launching its cutting-edge roof restoration service two years ago, Pristine Clean has saved home owners hundreds of thousands of dollars in costly roof replacement, and more are signing up for the service.

Here’s how it works:

The Pristine Roof Renew uses an environmentally safe asphalt shingle rejuvenator that extends the life of your entire roof for 5 to 10 years. The soy-based, eco-friendly application works by restoring lost oils to the shingles, dramatically increasing their flexibility and durability.

The application also waterproofs the surface of your roof and reduces the effects of oxidation and bacteria growth.

“Before we even considered this new service, I tried it on my own roof and was blown away,” says Pristine Clean founder Ken Wilson. “The service saved me thousands of dollars over a roof replacement, and now we’re offering it to all of our clients whose roofs have seen better days. And with over 12 million tons of non-recyclable shingles filling our landfills each year, it’s an environmentally-friendly option.”
