Question 1

Why not just pressure wash the sandstone?

Accepted Answer

Because it is soft and porous. Pressure etches the face, opens the pores, and leaves the stone rougher and quicker to stain. Soft washing removes the growth without touching the surface.

Question 2

What is the black staining on my sandstone?

Accepted Answer

Organic growth: algae, lichen, and mold living in the pores of the stone. It is not dirt, so scrubbing does not remove it. The right solution kills it at the root and lifts it out.

Question 3

Will the color really come back?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Once the growth is gone the original buff, tan, and gray tones of the stone return. Every job is documented with before and after photos.

Question 4

What sandstone features do you clean?

Accepted Answer

Walkways, steps, foundation stone, retaining walls, patios, pillars, window sills, and garden borders on homes across Chagrin Falls, Gates Mills, Hunting Valley, and Northeast Ohio.

Question 5

Do I need to be home?

Accepted Answer

No. Exterior water access is all we need, and most sandstone work is quoted the same day from property imagery. Landscaping is watered before and after and never tarped.
