Soft Washing Before Selling Your Home

Soft Washing to Boost Curb Appeal Before Selling Your Home:

When putting your home on the market, first impressions matter greatly. The exterior of your property is the first thing potential buyers see, and it sets the tone for their perception of the entire house. Soft washing can be a powerful tool in enhancing your home's curb appeal, making it more appealing to prospective buyers and potentially increasing its market value.

Here's how soft washing can help:

Enhanced Aesthetics: Over time, the exterior of a home can accumulate dirt, grime, algae, mold, and other unsightly stains. Soft washing effectively removes these stains, restoring the original beauty of the exterior surfaces. A clean and well-maintained exterior creates a positive impression, making the property more attractive to potential buyers.
Increased Perceived Value: A well-maintained exterior suggests to buyers that the property has been cared for and is likely in good condition overall. This can lead to buyers perceiving the home as having a higher value, potentially allowing you to list it at a higher price point.
Faster Sale: Homes with strong curb appeal tend to sell faster than those with neglected exteriors. By investing in soft washing to improve your home's curb appeal, you can attract more interested buyers and expedite the sale process, reducing the time your property spends on the market.
Competitive Advantage: In a competitive real estate market, every advantage counts. A clean exterior sets your home apart from comparable properties that may have neglected or dirty exteriors. It can be the difference that convinces a buyer to choose your home over others in the area.
Positive Perception: A clean exterior not only looks better but also gives buyers confidence in the overall maintenance of the property. Buyers are more likely to perceive a well-maintained exterior as indicative of a home that has been cared for, potentially easing concerns about hidden issues or neglect.
Return on Investment: Soft washing is a relatively inexpensive home improvement compared to other renovation projects, yet it can offer a high return on investment. The cost of soft washing is often far less than the potential increase in the sale price or the savings from a quicker sale.

When preparing to sell your home, consider investing in soft washing as part of your pre-sale preparations. By improving your home's curb appeal, you can make a positive impression on potential buyers, increase perceived value, and ultimately expedite the sale process.

We cannot recommend KOS highly enough. From the moment they arrived, it was clear we were working with professionals who truly care about their clients. Not only were they polite, thorough, and respectful of our home, but they were also the only company to detect additional mold damage that we were completely unaware of, damage that other companies overlooked entirely. Their findings prompted us to call our home inspector back to re-evaluate the situation. What truly stood out was their honesty and compassion. They explained everything in clear, understandable terms and never pressured us into unnecessary services. In an incredibly generous gesture, they loaned us an air purification machine free of charge while we coordinated additional work with another contractor. The team was fast, efficient, and left the space spotless. Every staff member we encountered was pleasant, knowledgeable, and professional. It’s rare to find a company that blends technical expertise with genuine kindness and integrity but KOS does just that. If you're dealing with mold or air quality issues, look no further. This is the team you can trust! Thank you.

I had a sudden leak from the upstairs shower that traveled down to my garage. Erick showed up within the hour! After looking over the damage we went over everything in detail that he found as well as what the process for remediation would look like to prevent further moisture and mold. The KOS crew arrived the day of and immediately started working. The office was wonderful in helping with speaking to insurance and helping get payment from them. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Thank you KOS RESTORATION!

KOS Cleaning and Restoration came out and did a bid on water damage in my crawl space from a broken water sewer line. Tom came within the hour gave us the most fair bid. The team arrived shortly after to start working. We went with them as they explained in detail the work scope and approximate completion date. Work was done in a professional manner. This included removal of water and muck out. Install fans and humidifier until dry. Installed new vapor barrier. I'm a retired homeowner with 2 properties I know good work when I see it. Workers were knowledgeable and polite. l'd highly recommend this company.

Buying a new home is stressful enough but when we found mold in the kitchen it knocked that stress level. We were very lucky to have found KOS Restoration. Tom was open and upfront about the steps that had to completed and their potential costs. Tom was knowledgeable about the why, what and how for the process. The crew was professional through and through. Constantly kept us up to date of what was happening. They were more than tolerant of the numerous questions that was asked. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for mold remediation work in the area and any families going through this stressful process. Thank you KOS Restoration!

KOS Cleaning and Restoration is everything you could ask for and a family owned business!!! We had some mold issues pop up in our attic on an inspection report during the sale of our home. We had 3 different companies come out to provide an evaluation for us. We went with KOS and the quote was free, they were right on time and super communicative! Tom personally called me throughout the process and kept me updated every step of the way. They truly make you feel like the most important person to them and as someone who deals with contractors every day, my husband and I can honestly say we were so impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail and quality of work. Thank you again to this amazing company!!

Tom from KOS Restoration was very helpful and kind. I was so scared we had a mold problem in our house after discovering some blackened wood behind our drywall. They picked up the phone promptly and got someone out to look at our issue the same day. The team showed care and concern that we had small children in the house and wanted to solve our problem asap. Extremely impressed and pleased with this company. They went above and beyond what was expected to inspect and remediate mold. Helped us with other issues that we had questions with around our house. Knowledgable, prompt, and kind to work with

KOS Cleaning and Restoration is the VERY BEST. I contacted other companies however Tom from KOS provided the best assessment, of the situation and had a concrete plan to prevent the chances of the mold returning in my basement. The company made special effort to make sure that our family was comfortable as we moved through the process and that included the field team as well as the office girls. This included text, phone calls and pictures. I can’t say enough about the knowledge, professional, attention to detail and customer service of KOS Cleaning and Restoration!

I had an ongoing roof leak that I was not aware of until it resulted in mold growth on the inside of the attic space. KOS Restoration promptly responded to my call. Their estimator came out as scheduled, was very knowledgeable and gave a reasonable estimate. The restoration team arrived as scheduled and completed the work as anticipated. Everyone was very polite and efficient. I would highly recommend this company.

I had a few inches of water in my basement and my neighbor recommended to call KOS. They arrived within an hour of my phone call and were able to remove the water and remove all the damaged flooring before the day was over... More

The KOS team really went above and beyond remediating my home after I had a pipe burst. They used protective plastic to cover all my belongings to make sure nothing else was further damaged. They were willing to answer all my questions, and I had a lot! They talked me through everything they were doing and made sure the work was up to par with my standards. They were able to extract at least 3 inches of standing water and even ripped up the damaged flooring the water caused all before the day was done. I told my friends and neighbors about this company and told them to call KOS if they have any problems, I highly recommend KOS. Such a great company!!!
