Baltimore is a historic city, with buildings that reflect changing architectural styles and use various materials. This city also experiences hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. These climate conditions provide a perfect environment for grime, lichen and other pollutants to build up on surfaces, damaging them over time.
Materials that aren’t suitable for power washing in Baltimore are ones that are too old, delicate or damaged. Finding a professional who knows the techniques needed for specific materials is vital.
Building Materials in Baltimore Homes and Businesses
Common home and business property materials that we work with in Baltimore include:
Brick
Brick and mortar are commonplace on row homes and historic buildings throughout the city. For power washing, especially on old or deteriorating mortar, using appropriate pressure and proper technique will ensure cleanliness.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is durable, long-lasting, and common in newer suburban areas and row homes, making it highly requested for residential power washing. The soft-washing technique, which will remove grime, mildew and dirt without damaging the material, is ideal. Vinyl is also water resistant, making cleaning and drying it simple.
Painted Wood Siding
Areas like Hampden and Mount Washington in Baltimore have older homes and bungalows featuring painted wooden siding. As wood can absorb water, we use a careful technique with the right pressure, technique and specialty nozzles.
Stucco and Synthetic Stucco
Common in residential and commercial buildings, stucco and EIFS, the synthetic form, will benefit from an appropriate pressure clean.
Concrete and Masonry Surfaces
An extremely common material, concrete and masonry are present in driveways, sidewalks, porches and more. We’ll use a concrete surface cleaner and our proprietary siloxane-silane sealer to ensure longevity.
Painted Surfaces
The viability of pressure washing a painted surface will depend on the paint type and condition. If it’s flaking, a pressure wash may damage or strip it, so a soft wash is the best option for avoiding further damage.
