Pressure Washing Your Oceanfront Home

 Pressure washing regularly using softwash
 techniques preserves your home's exterior

Owning an oceanfront home is a dream come true for many.  Beautiful decks and porches on the ocean side encourage outdoor living.  There is nothing like sitting on your deck in the early morning, with a cup of coffee, gazing out at the ocean.    Then, you happen to look down and notice areas on the deck are different shades... Could that be mold under the stairs?   You start to take a closer look and notice sand/salt residue in places, furniture is showing some wear as are other areas where there is metal or aluminum.   What is going on here?  
Welcome to beachfront living!!  The humidity and salt air are damaging to the outside of your home -- decks, cars, and your home's exterior.   To extend the life expectancy and performance of these areas of your home, a regular maintenance/cleaning schedule is recommended.    Low pressure/ soft washing are the best option in cleaning.  By our use of special techniques and equipment, we can safely apply detergents with little to no use of ladders, minimizing the chance of damage to your home.  A company that uses high pressure has to get up close to your home and can potentially damage your windows or siding.   Soft washing is the newest and most effective method to clean the salt air residue on your home.  Protect your home-- your greatest asset.  Call Caretaker Services, your professional pressure washing service in Myrtle Beach, today to set up an appointment!

What's Eating Your Roof? Roof Cleaning in Myrtle Beach...

Myrtle Beach Roof Cleaning "Before" 

Myrtle Beach Roof Cleaning "After"

We have all heard the expression, “I have a roof over my head," but how often do you think of taking care of that roof?    We wash our cars, change our car oil, clean our pools and wash our paths and steps; even the outside walls of our homes but most often seem to forget to think about upkeep of the roof.   We do regular maintenance on these things to extend the life and to avoid costly repairs.   The same holds true for your roof!  Regular no pressure roof cleaning will extend the life of your roof for years.   In addition it will take away those unsightly black streaks that are visible.   In high humidity areas like Myrtle Beach algae, mildew and moss can build up.   The advantage of no pressure soft washing is lower chance of damage to the roof, especially tile roofs.   Asphalt/Cedar/Slate roofs all fall victim to algae, moss or lichens which left untreated can result in the roof failing.  For Asphalt roofs the Asphalt Roofing Org has stated do NOT pressure wash a shingle roof, not with high nor with low pressure, use no pressure only!  Caretaker Services uses no pressure roof cleaning.  Additionally, most manufacturers of other roof materials recommend the no pressure/soft wash method.  It’s also recommended for safety to use a professional roof cleaning company to clean your roof.  If you want to keep your roof looking and performing great, call Caretaker Services, your no-pressure, Myrtle Beach roof cleaning service, to keep it clean!
