McKinney has century-old brick around the square and new stone-fronted homes out west, and neither should be blasted. Call any time and you will be put through to a local, owner-run pressure washing company.
Call (469) 649-7066The buildings and houses around McKinney's historic square are old, and so is their brick. Older brick is often softer than modern brick, and the lime mortar between it is softer still. A high-pressure tip can erode joints and strip the brick's fired face, which lets water in and speeds decay. Historic masonry should be cleaned with the lowest pressure that works, a gentle cleaner, and patience. If the building is a designated historic property, check with the city before any major cleaning or treatment.
West and north of US-75, newer McKinney homes often have manufactured or natural stone on the front. It traps dirt and mildew in its texture and can be damaged by high pressure. A soft wash cleans it without loosening stones or grout.
