Question 1

Why does the front of my Blackwood house look so much dirtier than the back?

Accepted Answer

Two big reasons. The front of most homes in town faces the road, which means it picks up exhaust grit and brake dust off the Black Horse Pike or whichever street you are on. The second is sun exposure. The side that gets baked in afternoon sun bleaches the dirt into the surface, while the shaded back side grows green algae instead. They look different but they need the same answer: a soft wash with the right cleaning mix matched to your siding type.

Question 2

How long does pressure washing a typical Blackwood ranch or split level take?

Accepted Answer

A standard one-story ranch with a driveway and walkways usually takes me a single morning. A split level with a longer driveway and a back patio is more like a full day. I do not rush it because the difference between a great wash and a streaky one is taking the time to pre-treat, dwell, and rinse properly. You will get a real time estimate before I start so there are no surprises.

Question 3

Our patio out near Erial has bad weeds growing between the pavers. How do you stop that?

Accepted Answer

The weeds mean the joint sand has either washed out or never had polymeric sand to begin with. I clear out every joint, deep clean the surface, then refill with polymeric sand and lock it in with a light mist. Once it cures it stays put through hard rains and weeds cannot push through. Sealing the pavers afterward locks the look in and makes the next cleaning twice as easy.

Question 4

My driveway has a few cracks but it is mostly fine. Can you just fix the cracks or do I need a new driveway?

Accepted Answer

Almost always I can just fix the cracks. If the slab itself is sound and the cracks are not running across multiple panels, I will rout the crack out, fill it with the right concrete repair material, and finish it so it blends. If a panel near the apron is sunken or broken up, I cut that panel out and pour a new one tied into the rest. Replacement is the last option, not the first.

Question 5

Do you clean fences along with the house, or is that a separate trip?

Accepted Answer

Same trip whenever possible. A vinyl or aluminum fence cleans up beautifully with a soft wash, and a wood fence can be brightened with a low-pressure rinse and the right cleaner without raising the grain. I usually quote the house, the driveway, and the fence as one job because it saves you a setup fee and gets the whole property looking right at the same time.

Question 6

Do you handle small projects too, or is there a minimum?

Accepted Answer

I do small projects all the time. A clogged downspout extension, a wobbly mailbox post, a back gate that scrapes the patio, a couple of fence pickets that snapped in a wind storm. If you have got a list of three or four small things, that is honestly easier to schedule than a big single project. Send me a few photos and I can usually quote it from those.
