On the Ground in Boston

What Pressure Washing Work Here Actually Involves

Everything from Federal-era brick rowhouses downtown to 1890s three-deckers in Dorchester to postwar capes in West Roxbury. Almost none of it is new.

How Washing Work Is Approached

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.

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.
