The Cost Savings of Professional Washing vs. Repainting Your Lynnwood, WA, Apartment

Now that spring is here, you might want to refurbish your apartment complex. However, repainting the building simply because it looks dirty makes as much sense as repainting your car after a trip out in the hills. 

Of course, if you don’t like the current paint color or if your apartment building is looking shabby and run down, you might consider a fresh paint job. After all, paint peeling off the walls would lower its market and curb values.

If your apartment complex doesn’t look unpleasant, simple soft washing might be the answer. A gallon of paint can go anywhere from $30 to $60, and you will need a lot of it if you want to cover the entire complex. Here, soft washing can save you thousands of dollars for several reasons.

Cleaning Mixtures Are Cheaper Than Paint

Soft washing uses only water mixed with the cleaning solution itself. You can have your complex washed multiple times for the price of a single coat of paint. 

Soft Washing Is Quicker Than Painting

Painting takes a lot of time because the professionals will keep mixing the paint until they get the exact shade you want. They will then add thinners and other chemicals and start the actual job itself. This process can take many days since they would have to wait for every coat to dry before they apply a new one. Apart from the material costs, you have to consider the labor charges. 

Conversely, a simple soft washing job would be finished in a few hours at most. 

Soft Washing is Less Complicated

Painting an apartment complex is a big task. Your painters will purchase your desired shades and bring in all the equipment such as paintbrushes and mats to help prevent paint spills. They will have to set everything up properly if you want good results. Soft washing, on the other hand, only requires detergents that are allowed to steep onto the roof and the walls for a few minutes. Afterward, the cleaning mixture is washed away gently, leaving your apartment complex looking as good as new.
