Rain, snow, cold, heat and humidity affect the facades of houses over the years, and therefore dirt, moss, lichen or other deposits are not uncommon. For some homeowners, it’s not bothersome when someone suddenly appears at the door offering to clean the facade or give their home a fresh coat of paint.
However, caution is advised when it comes to such door-to-door sales as no reputable provider can come unannounced and offer their services just because they are in the area and have some time on their hands.
Fabio K.* from a community in the Bernese Seeland also surprisingly agreed to have the façade cleaned and impregnated in the summer of 2021, with a very kind gentleman explaining the procedure to him. “Enthused by his persuasion, I immediately accepted his offer to do a similar treatment for the front yard and garden pavers,” Fabio K. told Blick.
Excessive bills and dead plants
Although the exterior of the house was clean and a relief of about 5,000 francs had been made – in cash, of course – Fabio K. calculated the hourly wage of this good craftsman that evening. «I immediately realized that I had paid too much. And in the days that followed, I had to bury all the plants that had died from the chemicals used along the façade,” says Fabio K.
In addition, it turns out that the effect of closing the forecourt due to subsequent rain tends to be zero. But by then the “craftsman” was long gone and was never seen again.
Hire experts
There are countless examples of this and similar questionable door-to-door sales. And in most cases, the OR’s front door law with a stipulated 14-day cancellation period is of no use as there is no contract and the job has already been completed. This makes hiring experts even more important. If you want to have facade cleaning done, you should not wait for this service to be offered to you at your door, you should get offers from experts, compare the offers and place your order.
Properties get the right treatment if professionals are on hand. Improper cleaning may damage the facade and existing cracks may grow larger. Additionally, professionals tailor the cleaning to the exact type of dirt, check its coverage, choose the right cleaning agent, allow it to have sufficient effect and apply impregnation after cleaning, which really makes a difference.
