Lancaster wears its history — the brick of the Square 13 district, the grand old homes up on the hill, and frame houses on tree-lined streets. None of it wants a pressure blast. We clean Lancaster the gentle way: soft wash that lifts the grime and leaves the masonry sound.
House wash from $400 · quote in 24 hrsLancaster is one of the more historic towns we serve, and that history is written in brick and old wood. The Square 13 Historic District around downtown holds some of central Ohio's finest 19th-century brick architecture, and the residential streets climbing toward the hill — along with the established neighborhoods off Main Street and out toward the 43130 edges — mix century brick, painted brick, ornate frame and Victorian homes, and mid-century ranches. Add Fairfield County's hills and heavy tree cover and you get a town full of beautiful, delicate exteriors.
Cleaning a town like this is all about restraint. High pressure on historic lime mortar pops it out of the joints; on painted brick and old clapboard it peels paint and raises the grain of the wood. We use the opposite approach — a low-pressure (~80 PSI) application of biodegradable surfactants that does the cleaning chemically, followed by a gentle rinse. The algae and decades of grime lift away while the brick, mortar, paint, and trim stay exactly as they should. And because we kill the algae at the root, a Lancaster house wash holds for years instead of greening back over a season.
Lancaster sits toward the southern edge of our range, but Fairfield County is a route we run regularly, and we make the drive gladly. Whether it's a historic brick home downtown, a frame Victorian with green on the shaded side, or a hillside roof streaked black, the same family shows up, walks the property with you first, and walks it again when the work is done.
Every Lancaster job is done by Marcus, Emily, and our trained crew — never subcontracted. Historic homes, cleaned with real care.
Historic and painted brick, frame Victorians, and ranches alike — soft wash is the safe, correct way to clean every one in Lancaster.
Hillside and tree-shaded roofs streak black with algae. Soft-wash treatment clears it and keeps it off without harming aged shingles.
Fairfield County's mature canopy packs Lancaster gutters and stripes the fascia. We clear them and brighten the exterior face.
Old porches, walks, and driveways grey and grow moss on the shaded hill side. Surface-clean for flat concrete, soft wash for delicate masonry.
A 19th-century 43130 brick home near the historic district with grime settled deep in the masonry and trim. We kept every pressure tip away from it. Soft-wash chemistry, a patient rinse, and a careful walk-around brought the brick back bright — and the original mortar never moved.
Yes — soft wash is purpose-built for exactly these homes. We clean historic brick chemically at low pressure, so the masonry and mortar that make the district special are never put at risk the way a pressure washer would.
We do. Lancaster and the surrounding Fairfield County towns are toward the edge of our range but a route we run regularly — just reach out and we'll confirm your spot and timing.
Not with our method. Painted brick and old clapboard are where pressure washing causes the most harm — soft wash cleans them gently, so the paint and the wood grain stay intact.
Yes. Shade plus Fairfield County humidity is ideal for algae, especially on the hill. Soft wash kills it at the root so the green stays gone for years, not just until the next damp stretch.
