Let’s be honest. The West of Ireland is beautiful, but it is also incredibly wet. If you stand still long enough in Galway, you will probably start growing moss on your north-facing side. Now imagine what your house feels like. At JB Property Maintenances, we spend our days undressing houses—stripping off the layers of green fuzz and grime that accumulate while you aren't looking. If you are unsure whether your home needs a wash, here are five signs that your property is slowly turning into a giant chia pet.

1) The Driveway is a Slip-and-Slide

If walking to your car in the morning feels like an extreme sport, you have a problem. That layer of green slime on the tarmac isn't a decorative feature; it’s an accident waiting to happen. When the postman starts wearing crampons to deliver your mail, it is time to call us. We blast away the slime and give you back your traction. No more skating to the recycling bin.

2) You Have a "Red Wall" (But You Didn't Paint it Red)

Have you noticed a lovely, rusty blush creeping up your white render? That’s not a design choice; that’s red algae. It loves our damp air. It starts small, but give it a winter or two, and your pristine white house will look like it has a nasty rash. We use a gentle soft wash to clear the complexion of your home, making it look healthy and bright again.

3) The Patio has "Measles"

Those black spots on your sandstone patio? That’s lichen. And it is stubborn. It digs in like a tick and refuses to leave, no matter how much you scrub with a stiff brush. It makes your expensive patio look like a petri dish. We have the chemistry to convince it to move out, leaving your stone looking like stone, not a science experiment.

4) You Can’t Remember the Original Color of the Path

"Was it grey? Was it beige? Maybe it was pink?" If you have to consult old photo albums to remember what your paving looks like, it is time for a clean. Dirt and traffic film act like a slow dimmer switch on your home’s colors. A professional clean is like turning the lights back on. You will be amazed at the difference; it’s like getting a new driveway without the construction noise.

5) The Neighbors are Judging You

Okay, they might not say it, but they are thinking it. When everyone else on the street has a sparkling clean exterior and yours looks like a set from a post-apocalyptic movie, it stands out. Peer pressure is a powerful thing, but pride is better. Be the house that makes the others look dirty.
Don't let the green ghost take over your garden. Reclaim your territory. Give your house the spa day it deserves.
