Revitalize Your Outer Banks Property: Expert Tips from Agility Pressure Cleaning for the Spring Market

As the spring real estate market heats up on the Outer Banks, homeowners and property managers are seeking ways to make their properties shine and attract potential buyers and renters. A crucial step in this process is ensuring that the exterior of the home looks its best. We sat down with Austin from Agility Pressure Cleaning to get some expert tips and tricks on how to prepare your Outer Banks property for the spring real estate market.

The Soft Wash Method: A Game-Changer for Cedar Shake Houses

Austin emphasizes the importance of the soft wash method, particularly for cedar shake houses commonly found on the Outer Banks. This method involves using low pressure to clean the siding, removing green algae and mildew, and revealing the natural colors of the cedar.

“When clients want to sell their home, they obviously want the brightest pictures that they can get,” Austin explains. “That’s the service that we offer.”

The soft wash method is gentle on the siding, using low pressure to clean while stripping the decks with slightly higher pressure to remove the crud layer. This helps to kill off all the algae and mildew, leaving the exterior looking clean and bright.

The Process: How Agility Pressure Cleaning Works Their Magic

The process begins with a chemical mix applied using a 12-volt system to keep the green, mold, mildew, and algae at bay. This chemical mix is crucial for brightening the property and keeping it looking fresh.

“After we apply the chemical mix, we let it sit for a couple of days to dry. Once it brightens up, it looks beautiful,” Austin adds.

Benefits of the Soft Wash Method: Boosting Your Outer Banks Property Value

One of the main benefits of using the soft wash method is the improved appearance of the property, which can help during home inspections. Tricia, who frequently works with Austin’s team, notes that “It seems like during the home inspection, the home inspector doesn’t point out as many defaults with the decks or the shakes.”

Austin agrees, adding that “It kind of draws your attention away from areas that you may be concerned with. You see this bright, beautiful house and you’re like, ‘Well, I don’t have to do anything to the exterior at this moment.'”

Comprehensive Services for Your Outer Banks Property

While cedar shake houses are a specialty, Agility Pressure Cleaning offers a range of services for different types of properties on the Outer Banks. They can clean decking, driveways, and even moldy vinyl siding using their soft wash method.

“We typically try not to do it next to painted surfaces because of the mix that we put on there,” Austin explains. “But for the most part, we can clean the decking the same way, do the same chemical coat, but then we can also do driveways.”
