Choosing the Right Time for Deck Cleaning in the Woodlands: Seasonal Considerations

Both wood and composite decks require regular cleaning and maintenance if you want them to look great and last a long time. However, there are certain seasons when it’s crucial to wash and clean the deck so that it retains its original look and feel. 

Spring Season

Winter is a tough time for your deck. While snow may be rare in the Woodlands, it does occur sometimes. The freezing winds, snow, and ice can all combine to take a toll on its surface and inner finish. All decks are porous in nature, and the ice and snow get inside the pores, where they mix with the dirt and grime. Once the temperatures rise, the ice will melt and create a moist environment in the mud and dirt inside the deck.  

These are ideal breeding grounds for all kinds of organic pollutants such as lichen, mold, mildew, and algae. If you don’t clean your deck every spring, the odds are that it will soon be covered in multiple parasitic infestations. Apart from destroying its original look and feel, these parasites can also cause permanent harm. Your deck will start rotting, and eventually, you will have to replace it. 

The longer you wait, the worse the infestation will become. However, deck-cleaning specialists will easily and quickly remove not just the organic contamination, but also all the dirt, grit, and grime from your deck. 

It is always a good idea to have your deck cleaned whenever the temperatures start rising to ensure its beauty and longevity. Ideally, you should call in the experts to clean your deck in March when there is no chance of more ice and snow. 

A clean deck would also become an inviting place for all those hotdog and bar-b-que parties that herald the change of the season. 

Late Fall 

This is another great time to have your deck professionally cleaned before heavy rainstorms hit your area. Your deck-cleaning experts will wash off the spring and summer’s food droppings, boot marks, bird droppings, grit, and grime. This way, your deck would be safe and ready for use early next year. 

Sparkle Wash the Woodlands’ team of deck-cleaning technicians is always at hand to take care of all your deck cleaning needs in the Woodlands. Just get in touch with us, and we will clean your deck whenever you want. 

Roof Cleaning for Energy Efficiency: How Clean Roofs Save You Money in the Woodlands

Temperatures in the Woodlands have traditionally hovered around the 70s to 80s in the summer months. However, global warming has been pushing the thermometer gauge ever higher.  

Similarly, winter temperatures come down to the 40s, and you might need to switch on your heaters to stay warm.

If you see a spike in your energy bills, a dirty roof might be the culprit. Roofs covered in grit and grime make poor insulators against both cold and heat. A bacteria strain called Gloeocapsa magma can start growing on your roof, where it will consume the limestone present in your shingles. 

Save Your Limestone Shingles!

Limestone helps deflect heat and the UV rays of the sun. Once it’s gone, your roof will start soaking up the heat and forcing it into your home. This, in turn, will make your HVAC system work harder to maintain the desired temperature inside your house or any other property. The more time it takes to reach and maintain a moderate temperature, the higher your energy bills. 

The multiple layers of accumulated dirt and tightly packed dust will substantially reduce the effectiveness of your insulation. Moreover, organic parasites are a direct threat to your roof itself. Once a mildew or mold infestation starts, it cannot be stopped unless you engage the services of a highly experienced roof-washing service provider. These people know how to remove those unseemly growths from your roof. 

Having your roof cleaned can also help ensure your limestone remains intact. Roof-washing experts will use powerful detergents to scour your roof without damaging it. They will eliminate the bacteria along with the grit and grime on your roof—leaving it restored to its original glory!

Maintain the Insulation

Apart from natural limestone, other insulators keep the heat in and the cold out in the bitterly cold winter months in the Woodlands (and vice versa in the late spring and summer seasons). Insulation plays a critical role in enhancing the energy efficiency of your home. While newly built homes may have excellent insulation, yours will likely deteriorate over time. The sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, coupled with constant exposure to the elements, will erode the efficacy of your insulation material. 

Moreover, algae and mold can also cover the insulation on your roof and decrease its efficiency. Bird droppings, in particular, are acidic and can eat through the upper protective layers of your shingles. 

Sparkle Wash The Woodlands’ team of experienced pressure-washing technicians will handle all your roof cleaning needs in the Woodlands. Our roof-washing experts will check the condition of the roof and act accordingly. 

If organic pollution is a problem, they will use a mixture of potent yet eco-friendly herbicides mixed with detergents to thoroughly wash your roof. They will also use top-quality sealers to protect your roof from further damage. Just get in touch with us, and we will soon have your home running at maximum energy efficiency!
