Beverly properties are big. Long driveways on the Ridge, wraparound porches, wood siding on Victorians, and bluestone patios in the back. That's a different pressure washing job than a Bridgeport two-flat. We bring more equipment and plan for a full day, not a two-hour visit.
The driveways are the first thing. Beverly driveways are long, often 100 feet or more, and they collect oil drips, tire marks, and leaf tannin stains. We use a rotary surface cleaner at 3,500 PSI for even, stripe-free cleaning. Oil spots get a degreaser pre-treatment before we wash. A typical Beverly driveway takes 45 minutes to an hour to do right. We don't rush it.
Wood siding on the Victorians is where we switch to soft wash. High pressure on wood siding forces water behind the boards and causes swelling and rot. We soft wash wood siding at low pressure with a sodium hypochlorite solution. It kills the algae and mildew that turns the wood green on the north side. If the siding is painted, we check for peeling before we wash. Soft wash won't strip good paint, but it will lift loose paint. We flag that so you know before we start.
Wraparound porches on Beverly homes are usually wood or composite. Wood porches get a low-pressure wash with a wood cleaner. If you want us to stain after washing, we come back in 48 hours after the wood dries to under 15 percent moisture. We test with a moisture meter. We won't stain wet wood.
Bluestone and flagstone patios are common in Beverly backyards. These are natural stone, and they're softer than concrete. We wash them at 1,500 to 2,000 PSI with a wide-tip nozzle. High pressure on bluestone can flake the surface layers. We also check the joints. If the polymeric sand is washing out, we can re-sand after the wash.
A full Beverly package, driveway plus house soft wash plus porch, runs $600 to $1,200 depending on the size of the property. These are big jobs. We give you a written quote before we start so you know exactly what you're paying for.
We schedule Beverly jobs as full-day visits. We're 20 minutes from our shop, so we plan the route to minimize drive time and pass the savings to you. We also bundle services. If you need pressure washing plus deck staining plus gutter cleaning, we do it all in one trip.
Beverly is about 20 minutes from our shop in Bridgeport. It's our furthest service area.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Beverly driveway take to pressure wash?
A long Beverly driveway, 100 feet or more, takes 45 minutes to an hour with a rotary surface cleaner. We don't rush it. Oil spots get a degreaser pre-treatment. We do it right the first time.
Can you soft wash wood siding on a Victorian?
Yes. We never high-pressure wash wood siding. It forces water behind the boards and causes rot. We use a low-pressure soft wash with a sodium hypochlorite solution. It kills algae and mildew without damaging the wood or good paint.
Do you pressure wash bluestone patios?
Yes, but at lower pressure. Bluestone is natural stone and softer than concrete. We wash at 1,500 to 2,000 PSI with a wide-tip nozzle. High pressure can flake the surface layers. We also check the joint sand.
