Power washing in New Middletown, Ohio.

Out toward New Middletown the lots get bigger and the buildings multiply. A typical job here covers the house, the detached garage, the pole barn and the concrete apron in front of all three. We quote them together, which almost always beats doing them one at a time across separate visits.

Open exposure cuts both ways. Houses in full sun grow algae more slowly than shaded village homes, so many of these properties can go eighteen months between washes. But outbuildings, especially the shaded back walls and metal siding near field edges, collect a heavy green film that needs a proper dwell time rather than a fast rinse.

Water supply is worth mentioning out here. If your spigot is weak or you are on a well you would rather not draw down, we can haul water in, which is the same capability we use for mobile home parks and job sites.

A typical job out here is multi building. House, detached garage, pole barn and the concrete in front of all three, quoted together and done across one visit rather than three separate trips. Bundling is where the savings are, because most of the cost of a rural job is getting the truck and the water out to you in the first place.

Metal outbuildings deserve their own note. Chalked painted metal cleans up well with a soft wash, but it has to be rinsed thoroughly from the top down or the residue streaks as it dries. Field side walls hold the heaviest green film and need dwell time, not force.

On timing, open lots in full sun can stretch to eighteen months between house washes, but outbuildings and the shaded north sides usually want an annual pass. Gutter cleaning is still a twice a year job anywhere there are trees near the roofline.
