Stoops, sidewalks, areaways and shopfronts in Mott Haven, washed at a pressure that suits brick and stone.
Driveways and decks are rare in Mott Haven. What the neighborhood has instead is stoops, sidewalks, front areaways, small rear yards and long rows of shops along the avenues. In a part of the city this busy, they collect traffic film, gum, spills and pigeon mess quickly.
We wash for rowhouse owners, landlords, supers and store owners. A clean entrance makes a building look looked-after, and many owners book a wash in spring and another before the holidays.
Each surface is checked before we begin, because old brick and brownstone need a much softer touch than new concrete.
The historic rowhouses near Alexander Avenue have brick faces and stone trim. Heavy pressure can chew up old mortar or soft stone, so on these we use a low setting and a cleaning solution that does most of the work.
Concrete steps and sidewalks can take more force. We work in even passes to avoid stripes and give extra time to the curb edge, where grime collects.
Store owners on the main avenues often want the sidewalk out front washed before they open. We can book an early start so the job is finished before the first customer walks in.
For landlords and supers, one visit can cover the entrance, the steps, the trash area and the back yard. We work around tenants and keep spray away from doors and windows.
Gum, oil drips and old stains do not always lift completely. We say what to expect before we start, and we never promise more than the surface can give.
A stoop and sidewalk usually take a morning. A larger building or a deep back yard may need longer.
Areaways, the sunken spaces in front of many rowhouses, trap leaves, litter and standing water. We clear the debris first, wash the walls and floor of the areaway, and check that the drain is not blocked before we leave, so water does not pool against the building.
Trash and recycling areas by the curb or in the back are another common request. We wash the ground and the walls around the bins so the smell is less of a problem on hot days.
