Colonial and Federal houses near the historic centre, Victorians through Oakdale, and 1940s–1960s capes and ranches across the rest of the town.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for long-tenure owner-occupants, many second or third generation in the same house.
Historic district near the centre
Dedham maintains a local historic district covering part of the town centre, with a commission that reviews exterior changes. Worth checking before choosing colours.
Genuinely old substrates
Some Dedham houses predate 1800. Old-growth wood, hand-planed trim and irregular surfaces behave nothing like modern stock under a scraper.
Charles River low ground
The Riverdale side sits low near the river, and persistent ground moisture shows up as rot in sill trim and bottom courses.
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 Dedham specifically, the work is mostly a mix of genuinely old and postwar housing, and the historic district around the centre 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.
