Power Washing in Morris Park, Bronx

Around a Morris Park row house, most of the ground is paved: a brick or concrete stoop, the front walk, a short driveway and a paved yard or patio out back. Many also have a side path, and every shop on Morris Park Avenue has its own stretch of sidewalk.

Traffic grime, leaves from the street trees, moss in shady corners and stains from cars and trash cans all build up on those surfaces. Washing them once or twice a year keeps the property looking looked-after.

Most requests here come from homeowners, small landlords and shopkeepers. Each surface gets its own setting, because too much pressure can chew up old brick and the mortar between it.

On houses, the usual list is the stoop and railings, the front walk, the driveway and the back patio. Concrete is tougher. Brick and older mortar get a softer setting and a wider fan of spray so the joints stay intact.

Where a car parks every day, oil drips soak in. Those spots are pre-treated before the wash. Deep, old oil stains often fade rather than vanish, and we tell you that before starting.

Back yards here are often paved edge to edge between two fences, and shady corners grow moss and black mold. Washing clears them and makes the surface less slick after rain.

Shop sidewalks and entrances are washed before opening or once the shutters come down at night, so nobody has to walk through the work.

Vinyl or aluminum siding, wood fences and decks can be washed as well. Siding gets a soft wash at low pressure so water is not driven behind the panels.

After winter, steps often wear a white salt crust. A spring wash removes it and shows any cracks that need fixing. If the car out front needs attention too, see auto detailing in Morris Park.
