of color from some flowering plants add to the overall look? 2. Beware of dingy dirt. Because you see your home every day, you may not realize the exterior has become dull with a layer of dust and dirt. An adjustable pressure washer with Briggs & Stratton POWERflow+ technology will let you wash sid- ing, garage doors and shutters without stripping paint as well as delicate items such as glass top patio tables. Then switch to the high flow mode, which deliv- ers up to five gal- lons per minute for extended reach to clean second story win- dows, eaves and gutters or to blast away hard-to- reach cobwebs and insect nests. 3. Update with paint. If a thor- ough washing leaves a ho-hum look behind, it may be time to revisit your home's exterior color scheme. Even modest adjustments, from pale beige to a deeper tan, for example, can completely alter the look. Or, focus on adding color to the trim, door and shutters if new, all-over color is out of the ques- tion. 4. Wash where you walk. The favorable impression created by impeccable landscaping and a fresh, clean facade can be swept away in an instant if sidewalks, driveways and patios are unsightly. Skip the messy buckets and brush, and instead reach for a high pressure, high flow pressure washer such as those featuring Briggs & Stratton's POWERflow+ technology, which include adjustable pressure and flow as well as power-soaping deter- gent tanks to let you clean tough stains then quickly wash them away with a single machine. 5. Dote on the details. Decks, fences, mailboxes, birdbaths, gazebos and other decorative features all factor into your home's exterior image. Thoroughly clean these items, repair any loose or broken pieces such as fence slats, and apply a fresh coat of paint or stain, if needed. 7 - 5 - 1 5 • W a s h i n g t o n C o u n t y R e a l E s t a t e • 7 asabella ardwood C H For a limited time, Save on these great Solid & Engineered Hardwood Floors from CasaBella!
