Power Washing in Pelham Bay, Bronx

Outside a Pelham Bay house there is plenty of hard surface: a concrete driveway sloping down to the garage, a brick facade, front steps of stone or poured concrete, and a back patio where the grill comes out every summer. Each one gathers oil drips, tire tracks, moss, mildew and everyday street dirt.

Shops along Westchester Avenue have their own challenge. The elevated 6 line overhead drops dust and grime onto awnings and pavement, so storefront sidewalks there need washing more often than most.

Homes, driveways and storefronts are all on our list, with the pressure matched to each material so dirt leaves and the surface stays sound.

A walk-around comes first. Soft old mortar and painted trim call for a low setting or a soft wash, while a sound concrete driveway can handle much more.

Engine oil on a driveway soaks in deep. A degreaser is applied and left to work before washing, and while very old spots may not vanish, most lighten a great deal.

Shaded back patios behind the row houses tend to grow algae, which turns slick in the rain. Clearing it off makes the yard safer for kids running around and for grandparents with a cane.

Years of traffic from the Bruckner and the avenue darken brick fronts. A careful wash restores the warm red without blasting sand out of the joints.

Merchants on Westchester Avenue and Crosby Avenue can book the sidewalk before the gates go up or after they come down, so no sales are lost.

Gutters overflowing onto the front steps leave black streaks down the stoop. A wash removes the streaks, and it is a good reminder to have the gutters cleared.

Wooden fences and the railings on the front steps can be washed too, at a lower pressure that will not raise the grain. A clean fence also takes paint or stain much better if you plan to refinish it.
