Spray Wash cleaned this building today at the Captial Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee, Florida.
Few really cool things about this job I wanted to point out:
This lead came from a painter who subbed out the work to Spray Wash. We first made contact about a year ago, and have kept in touch. Professional painters can be a great source of business for your cleaning company. It was more cost effective for him to sub-out work than to pull his crews off a job and do it themselves.
Job took my crew of four from 9:30 - 6:00, scope of work included building and sidewalks, so it was a one day job @2k.
Job was done without a lift.
Everything cleaned up with softwashing. No pressure was used all day. Building is poured concrete (painted) and the accents about windows and cornice boad are Dryvit Stucco. Shot the stucco at about 18%, then thinned mix down for spray the balance of the building.
sun was setting, so i'll get some better "after" shots this week.

Ray,
Nice work. Thanks for sharing this info regarding manhours and price. This gives us small guys some valuable info to work with. I see that there is no lift in the pictures. Was this sprayed from the ground and ladders with the pump on the one trailer?

Looks like he sprayed from the roof down.

Yes Hank, no lift needed. The roof was easily accessible and the stucco band could be sprayed from the roof. The drip down from the band cleaned about 75% of the window caps too, so we really lucked up. Stucco can fade so I'd be very careful about spraying that hot of a mix on a whole building, but as I mentioned the walls were all painted poured concrete. the only stucco was the caps and cornice board. It was really a pretty smart construction idea.

Ray,
Thanks. You just answered my next question(sq ft). I'm a woos when it comes to mixes on painted surfaces. I'll start off light and then add accordingly. The surface will tell me what it can handle.
