1920s through 1950s capes, colonials and ranches, with some larger Victorians near Centre Street. Wood siding, aluminum and vinyl in roughly equal measure.
Most of our pressure washing work here is for owner-occupant families who have been in the house a long time and are maintaining rather than flipping.
Full site access
Driveways and side yards mean a crew can stage properly on all four elevations. It's the single biggest reason West Roxbury exteriors move faster.
Aluminum and vinyl siding
Much of the neighborhood was resided mid-century. Painting it is possible with the right product, but colour depth has a hard limit before panels warp.
Larger footprints
A West Roxbury colonial carries considerably more paintable surface than an inner-city three-decker, and the quote should reflect that.
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 West Roxbury, Boston specifically, the work is mostly detached capes and colonials, and full four-side access on most lots 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.
