Three-deckers and two-families, mostly 1890s through 1920s, with Italianate and Second Empire detail on Eagle Hill and postwar singles toward Orient Heights.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for owner-occupied three-families and long-hold landlords, many of them second-generation in the same building.
Maximum salt exposure
Eastie is surrounded by water. Salt drives coating failure and fastener corrosion, and any exterior spec that ignores it will not last.
Wind-driven rain
Exposed harbor elevations take rain sideways. Caulk joints and end grain fail first, and they need checking every cycle.
Eagle Hill detail
The Eagle Hill housing has real Victorian trim under decades of repainting. Stripping back to a workable surface takes time.
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 East Boston, Boston specifically, the work is mostly harbor-side three-deckers, and salt exposure on every elevation 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.
