What Pressure Washing Work Here Actually Involves
Three-deckers, brick and wood rowhouses, and a large number of condo conversions with shared exterior responsibility. Fort Point is loft conversions in former industrial buildings.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for condo owners and associations, plus landlords holding the three-deckers that haven't converted.
Coastal salt exposure
Southie sits on the water. Salt accelerates coating breakdown and corrodes fasteners, and exterior products need to be specified for it.
Condo association exteriors
A lot of Southie buildings are condo-converted, which means the exterior is a shared decision and the scope has to be documented for a board, not one owner.

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 South Boston, Boston specifically, the work is mostly three-deckers and rowhouses, and salt air off the harbor 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.
