1850s–1880s bowfront brick and brownstone rowhouses, most subdivided into condos, with original interior plaster, deep trim and tall windows.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for condo owners and associations, with a high standard for finish and a familiarity with the review process.
South End Landmark District
Exterior work visible from the public way goes through Landmark District Commission review. Colour, sash, doors and ironwork are all in scope.
Bowfront geometry
Curved facades mean no straight runs. Sash, trim and cornice work on a bowfront takes longer than the equivalent flat elevation and should be priced that way.
Condo-subdivided buildings
Most South End rowhouses are multiple units in one envelope. Exterior scope needs a board decision and clear documentation.
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 End, Boston specifically, the work is mostly bowfront Victorian rowhouses, and South End Landmark District review 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.
