House Washing in Myers Park, NC

House washing in Myers Park requires the most conservative approach in our service area, because so much of the housing stock dates to the 1920s and 30s — original brick estates along Queens Road and Hermitage Road, painted-brick Georgians, and original wood-sided homes that may still carry pre-1978 lead paint. We never use anything above soft-wash pressure on these homes, and on suspected lead-paint surfaces we adapt further: lower-concentration chemistry, controlled rinse capture where possible, and no aggressive scrubbing that could mobilize old paint chips.

The deep willow oak canopy that defines Myers Park is also what defines its mildew problem. Walls that face Queens Road or sit under century-old oaks rarely dry fully between rains, and the historic mortar joints in original brick will hold algae. We use a longer dwell time at lower chemistry rather than pushing pressure up, and we hand-detail painted wood trim, original windows, and porch ceilings.
