Our own town — downtown masonry, farm concrete, driveways, decks and fence lines
Franklin is home for us, and it keeps us busy. The properties here run from older brick and stone around the downtown square to newer builds out toward the interstate, plus a lot of farm and outbuilding concrete on the places outside town. That mix means we work on just about every hard surface there is — masonry that has never been cleaned in its life, and five-year-old driveways already going green on the shaded side.
South-central Kentucky humidity is the real culprit here. Simpson County summers are humid enough that algae and mildew re-establish on shaded concrete within a couple of years, which is why most Franklin homeowners end up on a roughly annual cleaning cycle rather than a one-time job. Being based in town also means we can usually get out for an estimate quickly, and we're still nearby afterwards if anything needs a second look.

Every one of these is available across Simpson County.
The humidity here is what puts the green on the north and shaded walls of a house, and it is a living thing rather than dirt — which is why washing it off with pressure alone brings it back within months. A soft wash treats it, and the difference shows in how long the house stays clean.
Almost every dark-streaked roof in this part of the country has the same cause, and it is not dirt. It is an algae that feeds on the limestone in the shingle, and left alone it shortens the life of the roof. It is treated, never pressure washed.
Concrete here is really two different jobs. In town the drives are older and narrower, and most of them carry a dark oil track straight down the middle where a car has parked in the same spot for twenty years. Out on the county places it is aprons, equipment pads and shop floors, and what comes off those is tracked-in field mud and diesel rather than road film. Same machine, different chemistry and a lot more water.
The front walks and entry steps on the older streets in town are the ones worth doing. They are narrow, shaded by mature trees most of the day, and after a wet week they get slick enough to be a real hazard on the way to a front door. Being based here means a small walk-and-steps job is easy for us to fit in around bigger work.
Gutters here fill twice a year and it is the downspout that matters — a clear run with a blocked spout still puts water down the wall. Both get checked, which is the difference between a gutter clean and a gutter clear.
A drive-thru lane and a dumpster pad are the two things a customer notices without meaning to, and neither comes clean with cold water. Both are hot-water jobs with a degreaser, done outside opening hours.
Two things keep us on masonry around here: ground-floor storefront brick along the older streets, and the block foundations and porch piers on houses out in the county, which sit low enough to stay damp and go green on whichever face never sees sun. Both clean up well from the ground. Anything higher than a 6 ft ladder reaches, we leave alone.
Newer builds out toward the interstate almost all have a treated deck off the back, and a lot of them have never been washed or sealed since the day they were finished. Those come back fast at low pressure. Older places in town more often have a concrete or flagstone patio instead, which needs a completely different setup — we can do both in one visit, but they are not the same job.
Fence on the county properties runs long — several hundred feet is normal, not unusual — and the side facing the tree line always greens up years before the road side does. We work both faces so the whole run matches when we finish, which matters more on a long fence than it does on a short one.
This is our own town, not a pin on a map. We are minutes from most of the county, so getting out to look at a job is quick, and if a spot does not come up the way you expected we are close enough to come back and look at it properly rather than fold it into a trip three weeks out.
We're fully insured, we quote before we start, and we're honest about what high pressure can and can't safely clean. If your job isn't a fit — a roof, vinyl siding, or anything needing more than a 6 ft ladder — we'll tell you up front instead of damaging it.
