Pressure washing in Beaufort, NC

What we see in Beaufort

Older painted wood, original siding, aged brick and soft mortar all need a far lighter hand than modern vinyl. Cleaning failing paint removes it. Pressure on soft historic mortar cuts it out of the joint. On this kind of property the first job is working out what the surface can actually take, and occasionally the honest answer is that it should not be washed at all.

We treat older property conservatively by default — low pressure, a test section where there is any doubt, and a conversation about what we found before going further. That is slower than a standard house wash, and it is the only responsible way to work on a building that cannot be replaced.

Beaufort also has plenty of modern residential and waterfront property, which is handled the same way as anywhere else on the coast.

What we are usually called for here

• Older and historic exteriors — Low pressure, test sections and an honest assessment before anything else.
• Painted wood siding — Checked for chalking and failing paint before any cleaning is committed to.
• Brick and masonry — Soft mortar assessed first, since pressure cuts joints out.
• Modern coastal property — Standard soft washing and concrete cleaning on newer stock.
