Stucco Know-How
STUCCO: Efis or Dryvit—we handle it both.
Stucco Detailing By Professionals!
Moisture has been a big problem since Efis and Dryvit Stucco were originally introduced in early 1990.
Associated with structural failure, dimensional linear cracking, flaking, severe chalking, spider cracks, blistering, peeling, we have seen it all.
It takes a trained eye to determine whether these conditions preexist, and even then, sometimes the cracks are so small, even then the naked eye can't detect them until the wash process begins or a hard-driving rain makes the surface blister.
It is imperative that the loose failing stucco be addressed by a professional.
With years of experience, we have the know-how and tools to work with your stucco home and return it to its original condition.
Please contact us for a no-obligation evaluation of your home.
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
Not every house wash is the same.
Some companies stand on the ground with a hose or pressure washer and call that a house wash. Some state they'll wash any size home for $275.00.
Anyone can hose off your home and remove the surface dust or pollen, but it is only a matter of days or weeks before the embedded mold reappears if not removed correctly.
Upon close examination of your siding, you will be able to see mold spores in addition to algae (green), pollen, and good old-fashion soot.
The most important aspect in an exterior cleaning is the permanent removal of the mold spores. These spores come from pollen that metabolizes into mildew, algae, and mold and can produce violent episodes among seasonal allergy sufferers.
Water, no matter how hot or how much pressure, is not enough. The use of the proper cleaning products on your home provides the longest-lasting results since it may take several or so years or more for mother nature to return with mold.
Still have questions? Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you.
No Frills House Wash
Save $$$$- No Frills - Save $$$$
THE PERFECT ALTERNATIVE TO OUR EXTREME HOME DETAIL AND WASH
Sometimes the Extreme is too much.
We are pleased to offer the basic of basic which includes the following:
- Apply detergent soap to the surrounding entry area only - low pressure power wash
- Power wash exterior of entire home
- Power wash exterior of gutters - (will not remove asphalt shingle oil drip lines, stains, or deep discoloration)
This is designed as a cost-effective solution of simply washing away surface bio-pollutants such as dust and pollen and is on par with an aggressive wash using simply more pressure than your garden hose.
Uses ladders, application of detergent around entry areas and pressure wash to remove surface dust, cob webs. Will not remediate mold, mildew, algae, moss or lichen.
Note, all plant life contains a root system—some microscopic in size—which is how bio-pollutants get water and nutrients to survive. Washing the surface with detergent and shampoo lets plant life continue to live guaranteeing mold, mildew, algae, moss or lichen is certain to return in short order. Like pulling a dandelion and not getting its root the first time, it comes back next week.
The basic of basic excludes the following:
- No oxygenated sodium hypochlorite–antifungal to kill root systems of algae, moss, mold, mildew, lichen to entire home
- No sodium metasilicate for gutter detail and polish to remove asphalt roof drip lines and discoloration
- No screen detail
- No cleanout of interior gutters & vertical leaders
