Determining how often to clean your cedar shakes, shingles, and clapboard depends on your personal preferences and the standards you set for the curb appeal of your home. At Street Appeal Pros, we understand the importance of maintaining the beauty and integrity of your exterior surfaces.
We recommend adhering to a regular cleaning schedule to ensure that your cedar siding remains in top condition. This schedule can vary based on factors such as your location, climate, and surrounding vegetation. Generally, cleaning every 3 to 5 years is sufficient to prevent the accumulation of debris, moss, mold, algae, and lichen to what we would consider "normal" standards. By "normal," we mean maintaining a presentable home appearance with minimal buildup on the exterior surfaces.
However, if you aspire to maintain meticulous standards year-round, we understand. While this level of upkeep is less common, we cater to clients who prefer their homes to be pristine at all times. For these clients, we recommend scheduling cleaning sessions annually or biennially, ensuring that your home maintains its impeccable appearance every summer.
Additionally, for those looking to extend the time between cleanings, we offer cedar seal treatment options. Applying a cedar seal treatment can help prolong the cleanliness of your exterior surfaces by providing an added layer of protection against moisture, UV rays, and other environmental factors. By investing in cedar seal treatment, you can enjoy a few extra years of a well-maintained exterior between cleaning sessions.
At Street Appeal Pros, we are dedicated to meeting your specific needs and maintaining the beauty of your home's exterior. Whether you prefer regular maintenance or meticulous upkeep, trust us to provide tailored solutions that exceed your expectations.
