Do you have a clean  Farmhouse Exterior?

Clean Farmhouse Exterior

Living at a farmhouse has long been considered the perfect, peaceful life, away from the hustle and bustle and general stress of city life. But it can take some maintenance. You’ve got a large home to look after, likely on a piece of land that needs to be looked after and chances are that far from the city equates to far from helpful services you can take advantage of.

But services aren’t as far away as you’d think. We’re breaking down a few services you can take advantage of to look after your farmhouse without having to lift a finger. Read on for all the details.

 

Cleaning the drive

Pulling out of your drive every morning, you’ll be hit with a reminder of the state that your drive might have been in before. There is always a square of untouched drive left after a rainy day, and we all wish that the rest of the drive looked like it.

It can do if you want. It simply needs powerwashing. A service from RH Power Washing can have that drive looking good as new, exposing the original brickwork from under stubborn weeds, moss, and general muck from living in a wet country. Once the drive is power washed, blasting away stains on the drive, the service will scatter sand in between your bricks to keep them in place since pulling out so many weeds might have shifted things.

 

Gutting the gutters

Our gutters are a nuisance that needs dealing with on a regular basis, but too many of us neglect them. This is dangerous. Neglecting your gutters can result in flooding or fires. Even if you are cleaning your gutters regularly, there’s a lot of pipe to get through there, and you might not get everything you need to.

Birds nest in them, leaves clog them, snow collects in them, and before you know it you’ve got a clogged pipe no longer allowing water to flow to a safe space but instead allowing water into your farmhouse.

A gutter cleaning service can use their experience at the job allowing you to avoid going up a tall ladder or avoid coming back down too hard. Plus, there is the possibility of you catching diseases from the fecal matter birds and rodents are leaving in your gutters. A professional will have all the safety gear they need to avoid that and give your gutters a full clean.

 

Cleaning the deck

If you are someone who loves spending their time in their garden, chances are you’ll have a nice deck to sit on. Maybe a table where you can enjoy some cheese and wine or tea and a good book.

That idealized afternoon might be ruined by the brown and murky decking you are sitting on. Didn’t you opt for light birch wood? Rain and country life might have darkened and stained your patio into a dark colour, which, again, can be power washed away. You can even hire the same company to aim their power washing tools at the deck and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing a totally different deck emerge.
