Pressure washing in Cole Harbour
Cole Harbour is right next door to us, and it is close enough to the water that salt is part of the picture on top of everything else.
Next door to the shop
Cole Harbour is about as local as it gets for a Dartmouth based outfit. Short drive, easy to schedule, easy to come back to.
It is also mixed housing, from older bungalows through to newer builds, so the right approach depends on what the walls are actually made of rather than on a standard package.
Coastal exposure cuts both ways
Being near the water means salt spray and wind driven damp, and it means exposed walls take a beating. What it also means is that the open, windy sides of a house dry faster and stay cleaner than you would expect.
The green still finds the sheltered corners. Under the deck, behind the shed, the north wall in the lee of the wind, that is where it sets up.
Coastal exposure cuts both ways
The windy, open sides of a house near the water dry fast and stay cleaner than you would expect. That is the upside. The downside is salt, which does not politely sit on the paint. It works into trim, fasteners, light fixtures and anything metal, and it keeps working.
So the pattern here is different from inland. The green finds the sheltered corners, under the deck and behind the shed, while the salt goes after everything the wind hits. Rinsing salt off is routine maintenance and it is far cheaper than replacing what it eats.
What we get called for near the water
Every part of the HRM sends us a slightly different job. This is what the phone actually rings about in Cole Harbour.
- Salt film on siding, trim, railings and anything metal on the outside of the house
- Sheltered corners and the lee side, where growth sets in out of the wind
- Decks and steps that catch spray and stay damp
- Fences and gates where the hardware is starting to go
- Whole exteriors ahead of painting or staining, which coastal houses need more often
What we do at houses here
Residential work is HRM only, and Cole Harbour is well inside it.
Commercial work is a bigger map
Everything above is residential. Our fleet washing, heavy equipment and building work is not limited to the HRM at all, that runs across the whole province. If you have a yard, a fleet or a building in Cole Harbour or anywhere else in Nova Scotia, see commercial pressure washing.
