Pressure washing for Fordham Road retail frontage, apartment entries and yards, and the steps of older houses, timed around trade.
Fordham Road pulls in crowds from all over the borough, and the pavement pays for it. Flattened gum, sticky soda, drips from food carts and a gray skin of foot-traffic grime spread across the concrete in front of every store.
Off the main drag, apartment houses need their stoops, entry halls, courtyards and bin areas washed, and the older two- and three-family houses have front steps, walks and small paved yards.
Most of the people who hire us for this in Fordham run shops or own and manage buildings. Homeowners make up the rest.
On a retail block we wash from the shop door out to the curb, including the threshold and the track of the security grille. The crew arrives before the first customer or after the last one leaves, never in the middle of trade. Gum gets a softening treatment and hot water, and grease from food carts gets a degreaser before the wash.
For landlords the list is usually the front steps, the lobby approach, the inner yard and the spot where garbage cans wait. Midsummer turns that last corner rank and slick, and hot water with a degreaser fixes both.
Homeowners call about steps, front paths, driveways and small rear patios. Old brick and weathered concrete are washed on a gentle setting so the mortar lines stay put.
We always start with a test patch, because some sidewalks around here are decades old and already crumbling at the edges.
Before the spray starts, outdoor sockets and fixtures are taped and any cellar windows are blocked off. Dirty water is pushed toward the storm drain, and a clean rinse ends the job.
A repeating visit, monthly for busy stores or quarterly for most buildings, stops grime from ever getting thick.
The two busiest stretches of the year are April, after winter salt, and late summer, when garbage areas are at their worst. Booking early gets you the day you want.
A storefront with an awning can have the awning rinsed on the same visit, which removes the dust and pigeon mess that collects on top.
If a car out front needs a cleaning too, it can be detailed the same day; see auto detailing in Fordham.
