The jobs that dont fit a standard category decks, fences, graffiti, awnings, playsets and more each handled with the method the surface actually needs.
Most exterior cleaning falls into obvious buckets siding, roof, concrete. But plenty of surfaces around a property dont, and theyre exactly the ones where the wrong method does the most damage.
Wood needs a light touch. Decks, fences, pergolas and cedar features go grey and grow algae, but theyre soft high pressure furs the grain, gouges the boards and ruins them. They need soft washing and the right brightener, not a blast.
Graffiti is a chemistry-and-speed problem. The surface underneath brick, stucco, siding, stone dictates the approach entirely, and the faster its addressed the better it comes off.
Then theres everything else. Awnings and canopies, playsets and swing sets, outdoor furniture, retaining walls, garden statuary, dumpster areas, boats and trailers, exterior kitchens. Each has its own material and its own right method.
