What Pressure Washing Work Here Actually Involves
Three-deckers and two-families through South Medford, Colonial Revivals and Victorians in West Medford, and postwar single-families toward the Fells.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for owner-occupied multi-families in the south of the city and single-family homeowners toward the Fells.
Two different cities on one map
South Medford is packed three-deckers; West Medford and the Fells edge are detached houses with driveways. The staging, the access and the pricing are not comparable.
Stacked porches
The multi-family stock carries the same front and rear porch systems as Somerville, and they rot at the rails and post bases first.
Pre-1978 throughout
Nearly all original Medford stock predates 1978, putting exterior scraping under federal RRP rules.
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 Medford specifically, the work is mostly three-deckers and two-families, and a hard split between dense and suburban 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.
