Updated: 7/16/2026
Whether you’re a homeowner looking to sell your home and get a little boost of cash on the sale or just trying to judge what helps increase your property value most, you’ve come to the right place!
One thing is for sure; when selling a home the potential buyer’s perceived value is everything. So what does that mean? It means if the scene meets the price for them.. then it has increased the value as they’re willing to pay for that. BUT how do you know what will increase their perceived value? We’ll help you determine based on what makes your home’s exterior look its best/stand out most to the buyer.
How it adds value
The value these services adds really depends on how much it changes the look of your home. Got a pretty large and filthy wooden deck? Cleaning it could add thousands to your home’s value! Once again it all depends if the buyer sees the value, look at your home’s grimy/problem areas for the most return on investment.

Fence Cleaning: Let’s be honest who pulls up to a house and instantly thinks, “man, this fence is GRI-MY!” not many people! Especially when buying a home many rush to the door excited to see their future home! Fence cleaning isn’t likely to move the needle much.
Gutter Cleaning: While it does protect you from losing property value, gutter cleanings don’t tend to add to a customers perceived value; that is unless there is literal plants growing out of them, then you might want to get that handled - otherwise nobody is going to pitch a ladder and start looking for moss in the gutters!
