Limestone and stone fronts

Across Fort Worth, from the newer neighborhoods near Alliance to older streets in Tanglewood and Fairmount, many houses have limestone or other natural stone on the front. Limestone is soft. A high-pressure tip can pit its face, blow out the softer mortar around it and leave light streaks that never go away. Acidic cleaners can etch it. Stone should be cleaned with low pressure and cleaners that are safe for limestone, tested on a small area first.

Stucco, old brick and concrete

Stucco: soft wash only; pressure forces water into hairline cracks.
Old brick in the historic neighborhoods: low pressure, careful at mortar joints.
Concrete driveways and walks: pressure and a surface cleaner, oil and rust treated first.

Common questions

Can limestone be pressure washed?

How is stucco cleaned?

With a soft wash: a cleaning solution and low pressure, so water is not forced into cracks.

How often should a Fort Worth house be washed?

Every year or two for most homes, more often on shaded or north-facing walls.

Is pressure washing licensed in Texas?

No. Ask for proof of liability insurance and a written price.
