Exterior Cleaning in Garfield Ridge, Chicago

Exterior Cleaning in Garfield Ridge

Garfield Ridge is eighteen minutes from our shop. It's bungalow belt territory with high homeownership. The properties are well-maintained Chicago bungalows with driveways, detached garages, and front lawns. The homeowners here take pride in their properties, and we help them keep everything looking sharp.

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. Sealing slows down spalling and extends the life of the concrete.

The detached garages get the same treatment as Brighton Park. We pressure wash the doors and the floors. The doors get stained from splash and soot. The 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.

We stain the rear porches on the bungalows. The porches take foot traffic and snow. 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. We clean the glass, the sills, and the screens. We also do lawn care for the front yards.

Garfield Ridge is one of our biggest snow removal neighborhoods. The homeowners here want reliable snow contracts. We clear the driveways, the sidewalks, and the front stoops. We salt and shovel. We set up recurring winter contracts in October so we're ready when the first snow falls.

We do polymeric sanding on the paver walks. We also do roof washing on the roofs that develop algae. Call (217) 722-5379 for a free estimate or a snow contract.

What I See Working in Garfield Ridge

The driveways on Garfield Ridge bungalows 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. We assess whether the concrete needs sealing after we wash it.

The detached garages get the same treatment. 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.

Snow removal is a big part of our Garfield Ridge work. The homeowners here want reliable snow contracts. We clear the driveways, the sidewalks, and the front stoops. We salt and shovel. We set up recurring winter contracts in October so we're ready when the first snow falls.
