Two- and three-families on very small lots, brick multi-family blocks, and converted industrial buildings near the waterfront.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for landlords and building owners running dense multi-family close to the water.
Salt and density together
Chelsea sits on Chelsea Creek and the harbour. Salt accelerates coating breakdown, and the tight lots mean you cannot easily stage to get at the affected elevations.
Extremely limited access
Some Chelsea blocks have no side yard at all. Material handling and ladder placement have to be worked out before the crew shows up.
Heavy rental stock
Most exterior work here is landlord-driven and sequenced around tenants.
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 Chelsea specifically, the work is mostly dense two- and three-families, and salt exposure with no room to work 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.
