Exterior Cleaning in Brighton Park
Brighton Park is ten minutes from our shop. It's bungalow belt territory, same as McKinley Park. Chicago bungalows with driveways, detached garages, and gutters that need regular attention. The housing stock is consistent, and we know exactly what each property needs.
The driveways on the bungalows are concrete, and they take salt damage every winter. We pressure wash them in spring to remove the salt residue before it eats into the surface. If the concrete is cracked or pitted, we assess whether it needs driveway sealing to protect it for the next season.
The detached garages are a specific call in Brighton Park. The garage doors get stained from splash and soot. We pressure wash the doors with a degreaser if needed. The garage floors get oil stains from parked cars. We pre-treat with a degreaser, let it dwell, then pressure wash with a rotary surface cleaner.
The gutters on the bungalows fill with leaves from the parkway trees. We do gutter cleaning twice a year. We also flush the downspouts because the leaves compact and block the flow.
We stain the rear porches on the bungalows. The porches take foot traffic and snow, and the stain wears off the treads first. We strip, wash, dry, and stain with a solid-color stain.
We also do window washing on the bungalows. The double-hungs get dusty from the street and spotted from the trees. We clean the glass, the sills, and the screens. We also do lawn care for the front yards and snow removal in winter.
We do polymeric sanding on the paver walks that lose their joint sand over time. We pressure wash, let it dry, then sweep in new polymeric sand and activate it with a water mist.

What I See Working in Brighton Park
The detached garages in Brighton Park are a specific call. The garage doors get stained from splash and soot. We pressure wash the doors with a degreaser if needed. The garage floors get oil stains from parked cars. We pre-treat with a degreaser, let it dwell, then pressure wash with a rotary surface cleaner. The rotary head gives even cleaning without stripes.
The driveways take salt damage every winter. The city salts the side streets heavily. We pressure wash in spring to remove the salt residue before it causes spalling. Spalling is when the concrete surface flakes off. Once it starts, you can only seal it to slow it down.
The gutters fill with leaves from the parkway trees. We clean them twice a year. We also flush the downspouts because the leaves compact and block the flow. If a downspout is clogged, we snake it clear.

Brighton Park Service FAQs
Can you pressure wash my detached garage in Brighton Park?
Yes. We pressure wash the garage doors with a degreaser if needed. The garage floors get oil stains from parked cars. We pre-treat with a degreaser, let it dwell, then pressure wash with a rotary surface cleaner.
How often should I pressure wash my driveway?
Once a year in spring. The city salts the side streets heavily, and that salt gets tracked onto the driveways. Spring pressure washing removes the salt residue before it causes spalling. Spalling can't be reversed once it starts.
Do you clean gutters on Brighton Park bungalows?

Can you seal my driveway after pressure washing?
Yes. If the concrete is cracked or pitted, we assess whether it needs sealing to protect it for the next season. Sealing slows down spalling and extends the life of the concrete.
Do you stain the rear porches on Brighton Park bungalows?
Yes. The rear porches take foot traffic and snow. We strip, wash, dry, and stain them with a solid-color stain that protects the wood and hides the wear. Every year or two.
