Stoop, areaway and entrance washing for Upper West Side brownstones and co-ops, plus terraces, courtyards and Broadway storefronts.
The brownstone blocks of the Upper West Side are known for their stoops, and those stoops take a beating. Leaves from the street trees, salt from winter, dog walkers and delivery carts all leave their mark on the stone and the iron railings.
Our power washing here covers stoops and areaways, building entrances on West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, small rear gardens, terraces and the sidewalks in front of shops and cafes on Broadway, Amsterdam and Columbus.
Brownstone is a soft sandstone, and it can be damaged by high pressure. We test first and use a gentle soft wash on worn stone, so the dirt comes off without the surface flaking.
Iron railings, gates and front doors are protected from overspray, and basement windows under the stoop are kept dry.
Rear gardens and courtyards behind brownstones are often shady, and moss and green algae grow on the pavers. A soft wash with eco-safe solutions clears them without harsh chemicals.
Terraces and roof decks are washed with drains, doors and plants protected, and runoff is kept away from the neighbors below.
For shops and cafes, we wash before opening hours so the sidewalk is clean and dry for customers.
Co-op and condo buildings usually need approval from the managing agent for work on shared areas, and we are happy to coordinate with them.
Fall is a busy season for stoop washing on tree-lined blocks, since wet leaves leave tea-colored stains on the stone. Spring is when people want the winter salt gone.
Some co-ops on Riverside Drive and Central Park West have courtyards or entry gardens with stone paths and benches. These are washed carefully around plantings and drains.
Each price depends on the area and how dirty it is, and we explain it before starting.
