What Murray Hill properties need most: A lot of Murray Hill vinyl was installed over mid-century asbestos-cement shingle. Forcing water behind a seam here is a genuine problem, not just a moisture inconvenience.
Homes are smaller and closer together, so overspray onto a neighbour's car or windows is the main thing to plan around. Original single-pane windows and older glazing mean we keep the wand well off the glass and let solution do the work.

Shade: Partial shade means the north side stays damp longer than the rest. No meaningful salt exposure this far inland.
Water supply: Municipal supply, so irrigation rust is less common than in Clay County.
Community rules: Few covenants — people clean when they notice it, not when they get a letter.
We also work regularly around Edgewood Avenue, Murray Hill Theatre. Those are geographic reference points only — no affiliation or endorsement is implied.

Common questions from Murray Hill homeowners
When is the best time of year to book in Murray Hill?
Late spring, once the oak pollen has finished falling — usually the second half of April here. Washing before pollen season ends means doing it twice.
Autumn is the other good window — after the summer growth season, before holiday guests arrive.
How often will my Murray Hill home need it?
Around twelve months for most Murray Hill properties. Partial shade means the north side needs attention before the rest of the house does.
The reliable signal is a visible colour difference between the shaded elevation and the sunny one. Full frequency guide by surface.
Is my older home safe to wash?
Yes, with the right approach. Housing from the 1920–1955 era needs a weaker solution, a shorter dwell and a test panel before anything else happens — particularly where paint has started to chalk.
If a test tells us the finish is too far gone to clean safely, we say so and stop rather than taking your money and taking the paint with it.
