If you live in Bridgeport, you already know the problem. The gangway concrete between your house and the neighbor's stays damp most of the year. It barely gets sun. Algae and moss take hold and turn it green and slick. That's a slip hazard in summer and an ice hazard in winter. We pressure wash gangway concrete at 3,500 PSI with a rotary surface cleaner. It strips the algae down to bare concrete and opens the pores so a sealant can bond if you want one.
Then there are the alley-facing garage doors. Bridgeport alleys collect grime, oil drips, and trash dust. Your garage door faces all of it. We wash steel and wood garage doors at low pressure with a degreaser pre-treatment. High pressure on a thin steel door can dent it or blow water past the weather seal. We know the difference because we work these alleys every week.
The limestone stoops on Bridgeport two-flats are the third thing we see constantly. Freeze-thaw cycles crack the limestone over the years. Dirt and algae settle into those cracks and make them look worse than they are. We soft wash limestone, never high-pressure wash it. High pressure on soft limestone etches the surface and accelerates the cracking. A low-pressure wash with the right detergent cleans it without causing more damage.
Rear wooden stairs on two-flats are another common job. They get green with algae in a single season. We wash them at low pressure, let them dry, and if you want, we come back to stain them. Washing alone gets you a year. Washing plus staining gets you three.
Most Bridgeport pressure washing jobs run $250 to $500 depending on how many surfaces you want done. A gangway plus garage door plus front stoop is a typical package. We bundle the work into one visit so you're not paying for multiple trips. We're based right here on S Normal Ave. You're not paying for drive time. You're paying for the work.
We also wash the concrete front steps, basement areaway walls, and the sidewalk in front of the property. If you're selling or renting the unit, a clean exterior makes the place show better. Real estate agents in Bridgeport call us before listing photos all the time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you pressure wash the gangway between the houses?
Yes. That's one of the most common Bridgeport jobs. We use a rotary surface cleaner at 3,500 PSI to strip algae and moss. The concrete comes back to its original color. We can also apply a sealant to slow regrowth.
Will high pressure damage my limestone stoop?
No, because we don't use high pressure on limestone. We soft wash it with a low-pressure detergent application. High pressure etches soft limestone and makes freeze-thaw cracking worse. Soft wash cleans it safely.
Do you wash alley-facing garage doors?
Yes. We use low pressure with a degreaser on both steel and wood garage doors. High pressure can dent thin steel or blow water past the seal. We clean the grime without damaging the door.
