What Pressure Washing Work Here Actually Involves

Three-deckers and two-families, 1920s brick apartment blocks, and Victorian and Colonial Revival single-families in Oak Square and Aberdeen.

Most of our pressure washing work here is for a mix of owner-occupants in Oak Square and Aberdeen and landlords running rentals closer to the Allston line.

Aberdeen conservation district

Aberdeen is a designated architectural conservation district under the Boston Landmarks Commission. Exterior work visible from the street goes through design review, and that includes colour.

Mixed housing types on one street

A Brighton block can hold a three-decker, a brick sixplex and a single-family Victorian. Each needs a different approach and a different quote.

Rental turnover

Large parts of Brighton run on the same academic-year lease cycle as Allston.

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. In Brighton, Boston specifically, the work is mostly three-deckers and brick apartment blocks, and the Aberdeen conservation district 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.

Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

How long after washing before you paint in Brighton?

48 hours minimum, 72 on shaded or north-facing elevations. We check with a moisture meter rather than going by feel — coating damp siding is the fastest way to a failed paint job.

Will pressure damage my siding?

It can, which is why old wood and painted surfaces get soft washed at low pressure with a cleaning solution instead. High pressure is for concrete.

Can I have washing done without painting?

Yes, plenty of people do. Annual washing removes the mildew and salt film that shortens the life of whatever coating is already on there.
