When I bought my first home four years ago, I had a pressure washing company come out and just go over the entire place to make it look clean again. I imagine that the previous owners did not care that there was mold growing on the siding or that the deck was grey but I did not want my first place to look like that.

I remember when my real estate agent told me to meet him there and then told me that it was one of only four houses that were within my price range in the entire city. Since it had no curb appeal what so ever, I was hoping that the inside was immaculate. I was wrong but I could see the potential and bought it anyway. The first call that I made after the signing the closing papers, was to the pressure washing company and explained to them that time was of the essence and the house wash and deck cleaning were what I needed to do.

They met me within twenty minutes of me calling them and set up the house wash and the deck cleaning for the very next day. When I left it, it looked really bad that day, but after the pressure washing company was finished, it looked like a completely different house altogether. It took about four months to make the inside match the outside.
