The problem of building discoloration is witnessed more in the urban dwellings compared to the countryside areas. This is to be expected because there are so many pollutants in the urban regions. Industrial gases, vehicle exhaust fumes, dirt and even grime are some of the main contributors to this scenario. This is why it is recommended that residential exterior cleaning and restoration be done by the affected homeowners.

Houses made of marble, granite and limestone are hardly hit by the discoloration process. Debris gets into tiny pores present in the stones and builds up with time. This leads to complete change of the construction appearance. Graffiti written on the walls is also another contributor to unattractive exterior appearance.

Horizontal shot-blasting, controlled vacuum-blast, dry or wet abrasive blast and hydro-blasting are the common measures employed in clearing and restoring the original design and luster of the premises. Apart from aesthetic dynamic the building gets, its value also improves after the process is completed.

The building gets a face-lift after the cleaning is completed resulting to aesthetic dynamics. The value of the construction can be increased by this simple restorative process and the landlord can demand higher rent. Also, in case the construction is to be sold, it will fetch better prices after it has been cleaned compared to selling it covered with all the grime. The restoration procedure is not expensive and it is better to undertake it and get better prices than undergo huge losses.

Repairs and restoration give the construction a better integrity structurally, consequently preventing possibly dangerous and costly catastrophes like falling bricks. Additionally, if the building is appealing it will attract tenants and fetch better prices if sold. The landlords can even raise the rent prices in order to get more returns if he or she wishes to rent it out.

Caulking is a very inexpensive process which has a lot of benefits. In many regions, the government gives rebates and tax credits to professionals who deal with caulking so that it is affordable to all citizens. Caulked premises are well insulated and thus energy expenditures to reduce or increase the room temperature are minimized. This way, the homeowner will spend very little in paying for energy bills.

Pressure washing cleans debris, efflorescence, gum, spray paint, dirt, mold, pollution and oil from a building very quickly. Nonetheless, do not forget to have the surrounding areas cleaned too because they contribute to the appearance of the building. The process is not expensive and it should be done frequently. It increases the building life and prevents elements which cause rotting of a particular structure. Repairs are very expensive and it is better to maintain the building than spend huge amounts of money doing repairs after the construction condition has deteriorated.

Whether you are outside or inside a building, dirty and ugly windows are not appealing to look at. They can make the construction appear unpleasant even if it is not old. Thus, they need to be cleaned often. Other issues to be addressed in the restoration process of a building include installations to prevent birds or pests from getting in to the building, snow guards and banners.
