Planning to put your home on the market? First impressions matter—especially when it comes to curb appeal. Before buyers step inside, they’re already evaluating your property based on what they see outside.

At Bright & Shiny Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, we help homeowners maximize their home’s value with exterior cleaning services that make a real impact.

🧼 Clean Homes Sell Faster—and for More

Real estate experts agree: a clean, well-maintained exterior suggests the home has been cared for inside too. Buyers are more likely to:

• Trust the condition of the home
• Feel confident in their offer
• Offer closer to (or above) asking price

You don’t need major renovations—just targeted exterior cleaning that delivers a visible difference.

🧽 1. Pressure Wash the Driveway and Walkways

Oil stains, mildew, and dirt make driveways and sidewalks look neglected. Professional pressure washing:

• Removes years of buildup
• Brightens the entrance
• Makes the property feel move-in ready

It's one of the fastest ways to boost curb appeal with minimal effort.

🪟 2. Clean the Windows Inside and Out

Clean, streak-free windows:

• Bring in more natural light
• Make rooms look bigger and brighter
• Show buyers the home is well cared for

We recommend a full interior and exterior window cleaning before listing photos and showings.

🧱 3. Soft Wash the House Exterior

Algae, mildew, and dirt on siding or stucco can make your home look old—even if it isn’t. Soft washing safely restores:

• Vinyl
• Brick
• Painted wood
• Stucco or stone

This service can make your home look years newer, instantly improving its perceived value.

🍃 4. Clean and Brighten the Gutters

Clogged or stained gutters signal poor maintenance. Cleaning out debris and brightening the exterior of the gutters:

• Polishes your roofline
• Adds visual sharpness
• Shows buyers you’ve handled routine upkeep

☀️ 5. Clean the Solar Panels (If You Have Them)

Solar panels are a huge value add—when they look clean and efficient. Solar panel cleaning helps:

• Improve system performance
• Present an energy-efficient selling point
• Remove bird droppings, dirt, and streaks
