Question 1

Do you work in the older Echelon and Lions Head neighborhoods?

Accepted Answer

Yes, those are some of my favorite homes to work on. Echelon and Lions Head have a lot of houses built in the 70s and 80s, so the siding, roofs, and walkways have seen plenty of weather. I take extra care with older vinyl and aluminum siding, using a soft wash mix that pulls off the algae without blasting the surface. Same with concrete that has had decades of freeze-thaw stress. I slow down and treat each home like my own.

Question 2

Why does my Voorhees roof get those black streaks every summer?

Accepted Answer

That black streaking is gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that loves the humid, shaded conditions we get in Voorhees. With all the mature oaks and maples around Kresson and Centennial, your roof stays damp for hours after a rain. I use a low-pressure soft wash that kills the algae at the root, not just on the surface. Done right, you can go three to five years before it shows back up.

Question 3

How soon after a hard rain can you clean my pavers?

Accepted Answer

I usually wait at least a day or two after a soaking rain so the pavers and the joint sand can dry out. Voorhees has heavier clay soil in some pockets, especially near the lake areas, so the ground holds water longer than you would think. If we re-sand and seal too soon, the moisture gets trapped and the seal will haze. A little patience makes the finish last years longer.

Question 4

My driveway has a few cracks. Do I need a full replacement?

Accepted Answer

Most of the time, no. I take a look first and tell you straight. Hairline cracks usually just need a clean and a flexible filler. Bigger cracks or sunken slabs near the apron of the driveway might mean the base settled, which is common in parts of Voorhees with sandier fill. In those cases I might replace one section instead of the whole thing. I will give you the cheaper, smarter fix when it makes sense.

Question 5

Can you handle the privacy fences along the busier roads like Haddonfield Berlin Road?

Accepted Answer

Yes, those long privacy fences take a beating from road spray, wind, and sun. I repair sagging gates, swap rotted boards, and reset posts that have leaned over the years. If the whole run is past saving, I install new wood or vinyl and lay it out so the panels follow your property line correctly. A clean, straight fence makes a huge difference on a busy street.

Question 6

Do you do gutter cleaning in the fall or just spring?

Accepted Answer

Both, and honestly fall is the bigger one in Voorhees. The oaks around here drop leaves well into December, and packed gutters cause ice dams when we get a cold snap. I clear everything out, flush the downspouts, and check that water is moving away from your foundation. Spring cleanings catch the helicopter seeds and pollen buildup. Two visits a year is usually all most Voorhees homes need.
