Large Colonial Revivals and Tudors on Belmont Hill, 1920s–1940s colonials through the centre, and two-families toward the Cambridge and Watertown lines.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for owner-occupants maintaining houses they intend to keep, with high expectations on finish.
Belmont Hill scale
The Hill houses are large and detailed, with dormers, bays and extensive millwork. Prep alone runs days longer than a standard colonial.
Grade on the Hill
Sloped lots and long approaches make staging slower than the square footage suggests.
Mature canopy

Soft Wash, Pressure Wash, and Which One Your Surface Needs
What drives the price
Access and surface type set the price. A single-storey ranch is straightforward. Three storeys of shingle with landscaping tight to the foundation needs different equipment, more setup and more protection of what is underneath. In Belmont specifically, the work is mostly colonials and hillside estates, and a hill with genuinely large houses on it shapes how we schedule and stage it.
How the work is sequenced
Plants get wet down and covered before anything else happens. Then the appropriate method for the substrate — low pressure with a cleaning solution for siding and roofs, higher pressure only where the material can take it, like concrete. Then a full rinse from the top down so nothing dries with residue on it.
Where it usually goes wrong
High pressure on wood siding drives water behind the boards and raises the grain, which then needs sanding before it can take a coating. On asphalt shingle it strips granules and shortens the roof's life. The pressure setting is the whole skill — anyone can point a wand at a wall.
How long it takes
Most houses are a single day. If the wash is prep for painting, the surface then needs 48 hours minimum to dry before anything gets coated, and longer on north elevations that never see direct sun.
