Soft washing
Historic home wash
Older LaGrange, Columbus, and Warm Springs houses, washed like the materials are original — because they often are.
Historic brick, soft mortar, and old paint are how a cheap wash becomes a restoration bill.
Test patch. Soft wash for organic growth. No sandblasting. Painted surfaces treated as paint. Alton would rather leave a faint shadow than scar a 1920 wall.
Included
- House body with a method matched to each material
- Test area before the full run
- Mortar-conscious rinse
- Notes for a mason where the wall is already failing

What should we do before you arrive?
Send photos in daylight, move cars off the work area, and tell us about pets, a pool, or plantings you are particular about. If this is a house call, send the list ahead so we can say half day or full day before we block the calendar.
What will you not take on?
We do not repoint, strip lead paint, or sandblast.
