Irvine
exterior cleaning.

Irvine was laid out as a master plan, with villages separated by wide arterial roads and each built around similar house designs, schools and shopping. The styles change by era: California Modern in University Park, Spanish and Tuscan looks in newer villages like Quail Hill and Portola Springs, and a Mediterranean feel in Westpark. Stucco walls and tile roofs are common across the newer villages.

In many villages the homeowners association regulates roofing, paint colors and landscaping, so how your house looks is partly the association's business. That's a good reason to keep stucco and tile clean, and a reason to be careful how you do it. We soft wash at low pressure, use cleaning solutions that are safe for plants, and rinse thoroughly so the landscaping is protected.

Northwood has its own challenge: eucalyptus windrows, planted when the land was farmed to shield crops from Santa Ana winds, still line many of its streets. They drop leaves, bark and seed capsules into gutters and onto roofs and solar panels. Across the city, those same winds bring dust that films over panels and glass. We clean solar with purified water and soft brushes, never pressure.
