April Showers Bring May Flowers AND the Time to Pressure Wash Your Home
April is the month for real spring weather and for flowering trees and plants. It’s also a great time to get the house and yard in shape, so you have time for all the great outdoor activities. Whether you like hiking, fishing, camping or just relaxing on the porch, now is the time to get the work done.
The professional pressure washing techs at Extra Mile Powerwashing in Bunker Hill, WV can’t help with weeding the flower beds or planting the vegetable gardens, but they can help in other ways. Their cleaning experts can pressure wash your siding, sidewalks, fences, decks and more. They can also clean the gutters and, using the softwash technique, clean the harmful elements off your roof. Making sure your gutters are clear is especially important with the spring rains soon to follow.
Call us (304-904-0500) in Bunker Hill, WV or contact us through our website today to schedule one of our highly-trained techs. And, while you’re deciding what date works best for you, enjoy reading about the first full month of spring.
