The dark, wet winter encouraged the development of grime, mold and mildew on our homes, and here’s how Pristine Clean can bring your property back to life
By Mimi Vanderhaven
Punxsutawney Phil could not have been more wrong. Back on February 2, the legendary groundhog saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter. After which, we saw an unseasonably warm February with spring buds popping up before March.
Yep, spring is here, and for the team at Pristine Clean, the phones are ringing off the hook.
“In a normal year, the phones start lighting up in April,” says company founder Ken Wilson. “But this year, we started to see dramatic volume in early March.”
In Northeast Ohio, where wet winters and a lack of sunshine lead to grime, moss and mildew on our homes, power washing has become the go-to spring maintenance project. “With power washing, homeowners see an instant improvement in the look of their property, and that leads to more enjoyment of their backyard time,” Ken says. “But it’s also about protection. 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.”
High-Tech Equipment and Training
Over the winter, to keep up with the growing volume, Pristine Clean invested in additional leading-edge trucks, equipment and highly trained staff.
“All of our trucks are outfitted with modern soft-wash machines that allow us 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.”
And homeowners are noticing. Pristine Clean has more than 760 Google reviews with an average 4.9-star rating, and they are highly rated on Facebook, HomeAdvisor, and the Better Business Bureau. But part of those high ratings may be related to Pristine’s flat-rate pricing model, which means every customer gets a fair price up front. “You pay what your neighbors pay,” Ken says.
Siding, Roofs, Driveways, Windows
Pristine Clean’s soft-wash services include cleaning winter grime from your siding, cleaning and sealing your concrete surfaces, and giving your exterior windows a spot-free shine. But the company can also clean your roof and add five to 15 years to its life.
“Our Roof Renew service is a soy-based, eco-friendly application which works by restoring lost oils to the shingles, increasing their flexibility and durability,” Ken says. “The application also waterproofs the surface of your roof and reduces the effects of oxidation and bacteria growth.”
And with over 12 million tons of non-recyclable shingles filling our landfills each year, having your roof restored instead of replaced is an environmentally friendly option.
