The kind of house
Brick, columns, and a porch
Painted brick and a porch that has to look finished from the street. Soft wash, not a blast across the mortar.
Project notes
What the work looks like.
Shingles
A roof that should stay a roof
Architectural shingles under trees. The streaks are algae. They come off with a soft wash, not a nozzle on the granules.
Water
Docks before the weekend
Piers, slips, and the boards people walk. The wash stays on the structure. The lake is not the drain.
Winter
Lights on the eaves
Warm white on a real house, clipped and taken down. Not a carnival, and not left up until March.
Commercial
The front twenty feet
Glass, brick, and the walk a customer stands on. Done before the door opens.
Hardscape
Deck around the water
Stone and concrete at a pool. The rinse is aimed away from the water. Furniture goes back where it lives.
Winter
The trough, then the downspout
Leaves out, then a flush through the elbow. One visit covers both. A separate downspout trip is not a second service.
Wood
A porch that still gets used
Screens, floor, and the trim around them. Washed so the mesh stays in the spline.
