A Case Study of Exterior Washing Project in Crestview Austin TX
One of our favorite projects has been to clean this lovely house for one of our clients in the Crestview area.
Background
It was a small one-story house made of brick and asbestos siding. The windows were all new and modern double-pane units. Modern windows are much easier to clean than old traditional one-pane window units.
The house was a one-story and roughly 2000 – 2500 sq. ft.
Most of the homes in Crestview are older and still have the 60s and 80s look to them. As Austin grew, so did the popularity of some neighborhoods. If you go by Crestview, you’ll notice there are a lot of construction and new homes beginning to be built.
The Challenge
Speaking of older-style homes, most of them need cleaning and proper maintenance! That’s where Full Color Cleaners comes in to save the day. Most older homes are often neglected due to a lack of awareness or demand for services such as pressure washing, house washing, window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and roof washing, way back in the day as to compare to the demand they do now.
The Solution
How We Went About Washing This House?
The first thing our team does on any project is to take photos and document any hazards. We train our teams to tape and be cautious of areas that can cause damage.
We take damage prevention and property protection seriously. All electrical outlets and units are covered and taped up. Plants are watered and covered if needed.
On this particular house, we had discussed with the homeowner about the fish pond he had. Our cleaning solution does contain some amount of bleach in it and can kill the fish. To prevent this, our team must work around and avoid getting any solution spray into the pond.
The scope of work was to:
1.) Wash the house
2.) Pressure wash the front porch and back painted wood patio
3.) Clean the exterior and interior windows
The Cost Break Down
The House Wash itself was $898. The Flat surfaces were $400. The Window Cleaning Inside and out, and Screens were at $550.
We packaged it all up and gave our client a nice little discount. The total cost of the project was around $1600 for everything before tax.
If you want your exterior cleaned, always request to have everything packaged up. You’ll save a lot more and get much more done.
One thing that our team enjoyed about this project was cleaning the windows. They were new and modern windows that made it a joy to clean.
