House exterior
Our house got it's yearly powerwashed yesterday. We have white siding and red brick exterior. The white is gleaming and the brick looks fresh and new. My neighbor said we were the only ones on the street to get our house washed every year, we have only been here for three years . I told him I know I can tell. He's crabby so I was snarky. How often do most get their house exterior washed top to bottom?

My hubby used to power wash our siding at least once a year. Couldn't wash the old stucco so mother nature had to do that for us.
I would have told crabby neighbour that it makes us happy.

I think hubby does it once a year. We have aluminum siding.
We just installed a new roof, and talk about a facelift! I love the new color! (the charcoal gray) I hated that reddish brown roof. When we painted the house green about 10 years ago, it was SO hard picking a paint color that would go with both the brick and the roof.

Peckish the new color roof does update the house and looks great. I like your landscaping too. Looks so neat and cared for. My house, the white siding stands out and is all you see in the front of the house. The extensions on both side are red brick and are hard to see.

I *LOVE* your house, I especially love the huge front porch! It looks so inviting. ❤️ I've always longed to have a home with a large front porch, but in my area we have mostly 70's ranch "snout houses" (where the first thing you see is the garage sticking out).
