Power Washing in Belmont, Bronx

On Arthur Avenue and East 187th Street, the sidewalk is the shop window. Customers size up a bakery or a salumeria before they step inside, and on a busy block the pavement collects gum, grease, spilled coffee and dropped food fast.

Off the main strip, building owners deal with grimy stoops, stained entrance steps, dark courtyards and the smelly corner where the trash cans live. Row-house owners have front steps and small back yards that go green with moss.

We wash all of it, with pressure dialed in for the surface so brick, concrete and stone get clean without being chewed up.

Before the wand comes out, we check for loose mortar, cracked concrete and flaking paint. Old brick and stone need a gentle setting; plain concrete can take more.

Store sidewalks are best done early, before the first customer, or after closing. We schedule around your hours so the shop never has to shut.

Grease stains outside restaurants and food shops get a degreaser first, then a hot rinse. Gum is softened and lifted rather than just blasted.

Row-house owners often add the back yard. Concrete patios and paths behind these houses get little sun, so they stay damp and grow a slippery green film. Washing it off makes the yard safer to walk on, especially for older family members.

Moss and dark streaks also gather on the steps of buildings that face north. A light wash once a year keeps them from becoming slippery in the fall, when wet leaves pile up on the stoop.

Building owners can book the entrance, the stoop and the courtyard together. Washing down the garbage area also cuts summer odors noticeably.

Café and restaurant owners with sidewalk tables in the warm months can book a wash at the start of the season and again at the end. Spilled drinks and food under the tables leave sticky patches that attract flies, and a hot rinse clears them before they set.

Inside the building, we also clean hall carpet and stair runners. Details are on our Belmont carpet page.
