Washington Park brownstones, Pottery District brick, downtown rowhouses, Lansingburgh clapboard — Troy's housing stock is unlike anything else in the Capital Region. We soft-wash it the way it should be cleaned: gently, without blowing out lime mortar or historic paint.

Troy is a masonry city. Walk Washington Park and you're surrounded by 19th-century brownstones and brick rowhouses. Head into the Pottery District or Little Italy and it's painted brick storefronts and walk-ups. South Troy, Lansingburgh, and Sycaway mix older wood clapboard, aluminum, and vinyl on tight lots. Every one of those surfaces asks for a different wash.
The wrong crew treats all of them the same and blows soft lime mortar right out of Washington Park joints, drives water behind clapboard on Congress Street, and leaves 'tiger stripes' down the driveway. Once the mortar is gone, it's a five-figure repointing job — a cost no one budgets for after a $400 driveway cleaning.
Our Troy soft-wash approach is calibrated to the surface: chemistry does the work at hose pressure on brick, brownstone, and clapboard; a commercial rotary surface cleaner gives an even, no-wand-mark finish on concrete drives and stoops; and every roof gets an ARMA-approved application from ladders and the ground. Same local crew, over 10 years cleaning Troy homes.
What We Clean In Troy
From 19th-century brownstones and painted brick to postwar suburban Sycaway ranches, no two Troy homes ask for the same wash. We calibrate detergent strength and rinse pressure to the actual surface.
Historic sandstone and brick with soft lime mortar joints. Soft-wash only at less-than-garden-hose pressure. We mask failing joints and hand-detail around them.
Painted brick storefronts and walk-ups. Detergents matched to painted masonry so cleaning doesn't strip historic paint or expose brick underneath.
Older wood clapboard, aluminum, and vinyl mixed on tight lots. Careful drift control between adjacent homes and shared walls.
Larger postwar homes with vinyl and Hardie siding. Soft-wash reaches high peaks safely from the ground — no ladders scraping siding.
Why Troy Chooses Capital Pro
The right approach for Troy's lime mortar and historic brick — chemistry does the cleaning at hose pressure, so joints stay intact.
Riverfront humidity and shaded sides feed green algae on Troy walls and black streaks on roofs. Our treatment targets the biology at the root.
On shared-wall Troy rowhouses we plan drift, runoff, and gutter flush so the neighbor's roof and gardens aren't affected.
Rensselaer County salts hard. We clean AND seal historic brick walks, bluestone stoops, and concrete drives so next winter does less damage.

“We recently had our patio pavers cleaned and resanded by Luis and his company, and the results were phenomenal! He transformed our patio and it looks brand new again. Everything was left spotless. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!”

“They did an excellent job cleaning our gutters. They really hadn't been done in a while but they were great. Their price was so reasonable. I recommend them highly.”

Troy FAQs
Only soft-wash is. High pressure blows soft lime mortar out of the joint and drives water into the masonry wall behind. On Washington Park, downtown, and any 19th-century Troy home, we soft-wash exclusively at less pressure than a garden hose.
No. We match detergent strength to the surface and pre-test in an inconspicuous spot on older or hand-painted homes. On painted brick we use gentler chemistry than we'd use on raw masonry.
We plan every Troy rowhouse job around shared walls, shared gutters, and tight lots. Drift control, pre-rinsing neighboring plantings, and keeping runoff on your property — not theirs — is part of the standard job.
Yes, but carefully. We identify failing joints during the walkthrough, mask them entirely, and hand-detail the surrounding brick. We won't clean anywhere the wash would drive water into a wall — you'll be told plainly what should be repointed first.
Yes — with masonry-safe chemistry at reduced pressure. We never wand-blast old brick joints or bluestone. After cleaning we recommend sealing to keep road salt out next winter.
House washes run $349–$749; concrete/brick walk cleaning $199–$499; roof soft-wash $499–$1,299. Washington Park brownstones and downtown rowhouses with detailed masonry run higher because the masking and hand-detail work is more involved.
