Elastomeric mandatory on exterior stucco; very tight exterior working windows (June-September); substantial wood-siding refinishing scope.. Mountain homes get pine pollen, oak leaf tannin, and occasional frost damage on exterior surfaces.
Can pressure washing damage stucco or paint?
Yes, if done at the wrong pressure with the wrong tip. A proper technique uses a 40° tip on stucco and 25° on concrete, holding the wand 12–18" off the surface, and never a zero-degree tip on a home. Pressure-washing damage is almost always a sign of a DIYer or a rushed crew.
Do the matched contractors do roof washing?
Most do soft-washing on asphalt shingle roofs to kill mildew and algae streaks, using low pressure, high-volume sodium hypochlorite solution, then a rinse. They generally don't pressure-wash tile roofs (too easy to chip) or older wood shake (splits the shakes).
