Pressure Wash, Then Put Your Home on the Market
Are you thinking of selling your house this fall?
The impending rate cut has some mortgage folks excited and potential buyers ready to come off the sidelines. Sellers should be getting ready for an active selling season. If you’re in that position, think about what will attract and what will discourage buyers. Remember, you as a seller will be competing with other properties that are on par with your home. Some things — location, size, style — you can’t easily change, so plan to win the “curb appeal 
competition.”
The adage, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression,” is very true when selling your house. Unlike the reality shows, the average buyer will look at 10 homes before making a buying decision. What will make your home memorable to those looking to buy in the fall of 2024?
Complete Power Wash can make your Tri-state-area home look nearly new again. Their pressure washing techs are the experts when it comes to cleaning your home’s siding, shingles, sidewalks, fences, driveway, decks, gutters and more. They can even remove graffiti, a huge boost to your home’s beauty and the neighborhood’s validity.

CPW Pressure Washing Testimonial
Softwash is the Safest and Best Wash
Softwash is the technique most pressure washing professionals use to safely remove even the toughest stains, dirt and grime. The CPW cleaning techs are trained to use softwash on all building materials. They use the correct water pressure with gentle, environmentally-friendly detergents. These 
detergents weaken the grip of dirt, mold, mildew and other natural elements. Once the detergent takes affect, the technician can gently wash away the grime with just the right amount of pressure. Softwash also limits the mess that most amateur power washing companies leave behind.
The Complete Power Wash techs pressure wash houses and businesses throughout the greater Hagerstown, MD area, including Boonsboro, Clear Spring, Myersville, Maugansville, Keedysville, Williamsport, Funkstown, Hancock, etc.… They also serve most of Frederick County, MD and clean residences and commercial buildings in nearby Greencastle, PA and Martinsburg, WV.

property in the best, safest way.
Green and black stains on your siding, fence panels, sidewalks, deck boards and roof are signs that the aging process has been sped up by natural elements.

This can be very costly if it’s your home, but devastating if your business gets shut down due to mold issues.
On top of the damage to the property is the damage to your reputation. Owning the ugly house is one thing, but owning the ugly business will drive clients away.

Independence Day 2024
Have a safe time celebrating Independence Day on July Fourth.
Summer is here and so is the holiday that celebrates America’s independence from Britain nearly 250 years ago. It’s a great time to enjoy family, friends and fireworks. Please be careful while enjoying all of the above. The United States of America has a rich history going back to it’s humble beginnings. Below is a brief summary of those days leading to independence.
The History of July 4th being Independence Day
On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, leading to the formation of the United States. The colonies and England had already been at odds for a year when the colonies convened a Continental Congress in the summer of 1776. Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution in a June 7th session in the Pennsylvania State House. That resolution included these now-famous words:
“Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.”
These words led to the drafting of a statement presenting to the world the colonies’ case for independence. Members of the committee included famous patriots John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia. The task of drafting The Declaration of Independence was given to Jefferson.
On July 1, 1776, the Continental Congress reconvened, and on the following day, the resolution for independence was adopted by the colonies. The Declaration was officially adopted and ratified on July 4th.
Here is a list of July fourth events in the greater Hagerstown, MD area. For other July events in the area, click this link.

CPW Cleans Siding, Concrete and Much More
The pressure washing experts at Complete Power Wash can safely clean your siding, sidewalks, driveway and more.
This is the time of year when the sun is shining brightest and longest. It’s also when the dirt, mildew and ugly stains are illuminated for all to see. There are a couple of ways to fix this. You can try to do it yourself, taking an entire day, risking injury and possibly making it look worse. OR, you can hire the 
cleaning professionals of Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD, like Jennifer.
House Washing Done Safely and Correctly
Most houses have several exterior walls that are relatively clean, with several sides covered in green and black stains. These are natural elements that can cause harm if not cleaned. The best way to clean these surfaces is by hiring a professional pressure washing company that uses the softwash cleaning method.
The professionals at Complete Power Wash are trained to use softwash. Their techs use just the right water pressure. That controlled pressure combined with gentle, environmentally-friendly detergents weaken the grip of dirt, mold, mildew and other natural elements. Once the detergent takes affect, the technician can gently wash away all those elements and their ugliness.
Siding — and every other kind of building material — can be scarred and/or broken with pressure washing equipment in the wrong hands. These mistakes can cost a homeowner a lot of money.

Professional Concrete Cleaning
Most think that blasting dirt and stains off sidewalks, driveways, and hardscape patios and walls is easy. After all, concrete is among the hardest surfaces 
and there’s no way water can hurt it, right? Some do-it-yourselfers and amateurs find out the hard way that intense water pressure through a concentrated nozzle can cut right into concrete. Scarred walkways are even more costly to replace or fix than scarred siding.
Professional cleaners will once again use detergents and the correct water pressure to wash away the stains. The detergents also leave a residue that will prolong times between cleanings on concrete, siding, decking, etc…. The Complete Power Wash techs will leave your property clean and tidy. Driveways, sidewalks and patios all look new again.

June is for Safety, Health & Pressure Washing
June is National Safety and Men’s Health Month
Summer doesn’t officially start for a few weeks, however summer activities are now in full swing. The kids are wrapping up the school year and the pools 
are open. Unfortunately, this is when local emergency rooms start getting busier. Some of those visitors started the day doing a home improvement project and ended it in pain. Don’t let a pressure washing job be what ruins your day.
Safety is a BIG reason to hire a professional pressure washing company like Complete Power Wash in 
Hagerstown, MD. Their techs clean homes and businesses throughout the Tri-state area of Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Ladders, water pressure and wet surfaces can be a recipe for serious injuries. The CPW techs take the right precautions. If a tech gets hurt on the job, the employer will take care of the employee. If a homeowner or an uninsured amateur gets injured, it’s a different story. Pain, suffering and being out of work will cost a lot more than hiring a professional to wash your property’s. Click here to read the CPW blog about pressure washing injuries, featuring stories like this one:
“I once sprayed my foot by accident. At the emergency room they told me they see three or four pressure washer accident victims a week. The hand surgeon said, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t do more damage than that.’ ”

Memorial Day Facts
Did You Know: This year’s Memorial Day holiday is Monday, May 27, 2024.

You Sleep While Pros Clean Your Home’s Exterior
May is Better Sleep Month and a great month to clean your home’s exterior.
Everyone can use a good night’s sleep. Most can use many restful nights to keep up with the daytime demands. May is the perfect month to take steps toward fixing your sleeping habits (see below) AND hire a professional pressure washing company to take that off your lengthy to-do list. Some times that list is so long that you can’t relax enough to sleep. Let the exterior cleaning professionals of Complete Power Wash in Hagerstown, MD help with that one big project. CPW‘s sister company, BlueBox Rentals dumpster company, can also help if one of your big jobs is cleaning out a storage area, home improvement mess or rental property.
If you’re selling your home during the spring season, a call to both companies might be very helpful. A clean and cleaned out home are two important steps toward attracting multiple buyers.
Tips for Sleeping Better
- Be consistent with your nighttime routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. This includes weekends. And try to get the same amount of sleep each night.
- Avoid technology within a few hours of going to sleep. Don’t watch TV, use a computer, cell phone, or tablet in the bedroom.
- Create a restful environment in the bedroom. Keep the room quiet, dark, and at a comfortable temperature. A sleep machine (white noise) and/or a fan may also help.
- Relax prior to laying down to sleep. Taking a warm bath, reading a book, or listening to soothing music can help. Gentle body stretches can also help if tight joints often awaken you in the night.
Impacts of Better Sleep Patterns
Better sleep can mean a better quality of life. Some of the positive impacts include:
- Improved mood
- Better cognitive function
- Reduced stress
Stronger immune system & a lower risk of health problems- Better weight management

Add Mulch and Then Watch Your House
Shotgun Fungus can prove to be a headache for those mulching this spring.
Mulching flower beds is a favorite activity of homeowners this time of year. It makes the property look great. But know that not all mulch is the same and you can’t tell the difference until the signs show up. Those signs are in the form of little black dots on the side of your home or business. “Shotgun” fungus — also known as Artillery Fungus — originates in mulch. The spores can launch up to 20 feet high and stick to any surface. The spores aren’t harmful, but 
are extremely difficult to remove from a home’s exterior walls.
Pressure washing techs can clean nearly every tough stain on a property. But Shotgun Fungus spores are nearly impossible to remove with pressure washing detergents and equipment. Artillery Fungus can infect any organic mulch, and under the right conditions, it will flourish. It thrives in cool, moist, shady areas. The best advice is to prevent the fungus from shooting its sticky spores.
When adding mulch, routinely inspect your home’s exterior for two weeks after putting it down. As soon as you see the black dots, remove the mulch immediately. After that, you can replace it; remove it and allow it to “season” and put it back; and/or add mushroom compost to the mulch. None of these options is a guaranteed solution, but the compost has been shown to greatly reduce the fungus’ action.

April is for Hope and Solar Panel Cleaning
It’s National Month of Hope and the world is in need of an extra helping.
It’s always a good time to search for more hope and April is a month dedicated to that search. Warmer temperatures and extra daylight in the evening are two good reasons to be more hopeful. Also, if you have a home that no longer resembles the one you purchased, there is hope.
The Complete Power Wash team have pressure washed the “ugly” from many homes, business fronts, sidewalks, gutters, decks, fences, roofs and other building materials. One of those other materials is a solar panel, or in most cases, many solar panels. Some of the most crucial materials are outside of the sight line of the average person. Look up a little bit and see the bottom of your gutters. Above that are the shingles. Dirty shingles are pre-maturely aging shingles. Even higher up MAY be solar panels. Dirty solar panels are less-effective solar panels. AND, virtually out of sight are the inside of the gutters. The CPW techs can take care of all of the above and more. They want to help and be a source of hope as the pollen season wraps up.
Speaking of hope, read several hope-filled headlines below.
Solar Panel Cleaning by Complete Power Wash
More and more houses in the Tri-state area of Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania have shingles AND solar panels on the roofs. Those panels are a great way to harness and use the sun’s energy for your family’s energy needs. However, dirt, pollen and bird droppings can reduce the solar panel’s effectiveness by 10 to 25 percent, according to experts. Complete Power Wash techs do solar panel cleaning in a safe and effective way.
April is a great time to schedule such a cleaning, along with an air conditioner tune up, to keep your summer energy bill as low as possible. Click on this article to read about all the reasons to have a solar panel cleaning done now and regularly in the years to come.
