Just reminding everyone that if your driveway and/or sidewalk is dark and slippery, you should get it pressure washed. People slipping on your driveway or sidewalk could lead to a legal battle that would surely cost more than a good cleaning.

Likewise, many of the houses in the neighborhood are in need of shingle and gutter cleaning. If you've got mold on your shingles, it will weaken them, and you don't want water getting into your house. If you've got trees and plants growing out of your gutters, that could end up allowing water to get in under your shingles, again causing costly repair bills.

We all know that houses are expensive... we feel your pain, we're all going through the same thing. But spending a little now will save you a whole lot more in the long run.
