Why Smart Property Managers Budget for Power Washing

Leader in Commercial Power Washing Explains Power Washing is the Maintenance Service That Pays for Itself

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As property managers finalize their 2026 budgets, fall weather is creating new urgency for preventative exterior maintenance across multi-unit and commercial properties. Moss, algae, and mildew thrive in the cooler, damp months, reducing roof lifespans and driving up repair costs. Some insurance providers have even begun canceling policies for properties they consider "too dirty", putting managers at risk of coverage gaps and major expenses.

With more than 40 years of experience and over 500,000 properties cleaned, Rolling Suds, America's leading power washer franchise, delivers tailored solutions that extend asset lifespan, reduce tenant turnover, and protect long-term property value.

"Property managers should know that keeping a property clean and well cared for makes all the difference – it brings in better tenants, keeps rents strong, and cuts down on maintenance headaches," said Tom Gissler, CEO of Rolling Suds. "When you plan for professional power washing in your annual budget, you're not just keeping things looking sharp, you're protecting your investment for years to come."

Why Power Washing Should Make the Cut for the 2026 Budget
Industry experts point to several reasons preventative power washing is becoming a budget-line priority for property managers:

• Protect Property Value: Clean exteriors, walkways, and common areas set the tone for tenants and visitors. A well-maintained appearance signals strong management, which can lead to higher rents and longer leases.
• Extend Asset Lifespan: Moss, algae, and other buildup can erode materials over time. Studies show that regular pressure washing can extend the lifespan of exterior surfaces by 30% to 50%, delaying costly repairs or replacements.
• Support Tenant Retention: Properties that look cared for create pride among tenants, reducing turnover and complaints related to maintenance.
• Reduce Operational Risk: Coordinating with a single contractor for exterior cleaning helps property managers avoid any potential risk. It allows for streamlined maintenance schedules and reduces liability associated with unsafe walkways or neglected surfaces.

"No one wants to buy, lease, or work in a property that looks dirty," said Brian Wendling Jr., Co-founder and National Account Manager for Rolling Suds. "Power washing protects curb appeal and stops moss from cutting years off a building's life. It's not something to cut corners on. The wrong chemicals or techniques can do more harm than good, which is why it pays to use professionals."
