Exterior Washing – A Budget-Friendly Alternative to Painting
When your home’s exterior starts looking tired, the first thought is often a full repaint but these are often expensive and takes time.
A professional exterior wash is a great, cost-effective alternative that still makes a huge difference to your home’s appearance.
At Maka Makeovers, we’ve helped many Dunedin and Otago homeowners who want to refresh their property but aren’t ready to invest in exterior painting just yet. Washing your home is not only affordable but also provides surprising benefits for both short and long term property care.
