My largest commercial account called me on Thursday AM with an approved purchase order and wanted me to begin work on the SAME DAY for two large projects and projects had to be completed in only 3 days. As we are running bookings about 10 Days out, it took a bit of shuffling to accomodate their needs.
Part of this project involved cleaning the exterior of this parking garage, which was a perfect candidate for softwashing. Years of exposure, consumer use and lack of maintenance has the left the synthetic stucco in an advanced state of degradation. Pressure washing, even at low power would have cause extensive damage.
Do not have final "after pictures" yet but enjoy these scenes of the work in progress. You can actually see the biologial growth melting away during the process.
BTW - The parking garage aspect of the project was washed with 15% SH mixture and Green Wash. It took a crew of two technicians 6 hours to complete. This portion of the Garage was closed to traffic for us, which made the job go very quickly.
Also, never had to use a lift on this portion of the job either!!!! All walls were sprayed from the top down.

Ok, great job...My question is.....what is the material on the building? Concrete?..If so does this mean that i should not be concerned that all i ordered was the green wash to go with the sh...Something is telling me that my surfaces are just limited to just shingled roofs..

The construction material was a Dryvit or some other similar synthetic stucco. Hollow thin stucco that you could punch through with a good whack. The softwash system and Green Wash works like a charm on that type of material! i used only Green Wash and SH on this structure.

Ray excellent job. Very impressive. Did you spray from the top of the garage down?? Trying to figure how you got that done without a lift.

Laurie,
Any exterior surface that gets mold, mildew, algae, fungus, bacteria, bugs and other organic stains on it can be softwashed.

There is also another secret weapon in Ray's arsenal on his rig. He shot a church steeple from a crane!!! Talk about head pressure (and ballz of steel).
