Narberth is its own borough, a half square mile with its own government, surrounded on all sides by Lower Merion. It is also the most tightly built place we work. Lots are small, houses sit close together, and the walkable core means street parking and pedestrian traffic are part of the job site.
Those two facts set the whole approach. On a lot this size there is frequently no safe place to foot a ladder, and anything that leaves your property lands on somebody else's within a few feet. Cleaning from above and controlling rinse are not refinements here, they are the requirements.
The housing is largely Victorian and early-20th-century frame with later infill, which means painted wood, and painted wood is the surface that punishes high pressure fastest.
What we work on in Narberth
Victorian and early-20th-century frame houses, twins, and close-set singles on small lots, with stone and brick appearing on the later stock and some newer infill. Asphalt shingle predominates. Porches, porch ceilings, and decorative trim are prominent and are usually where the growth is worst.
Local conditions that drive the work here
Very small lots
Narberth's lots leave little clearance between houses. Ladder placement is often unsafe or impossible, which is why upper walls, porch ceilings, and gutter runs here go uncleaned for years.
Painted wood everywhere
Victorian frame construction means painted clapboard, painted trim, and painted porch ceilings. High pressure strips paint and lifts the grain. Everything is soft washed.
Borough, not township
Narberth runs its own government, streets, and stormwater system independent of Lower Merion, even though the 19072 ZIP extends past the borough line into Penn Valley and adjacent Lower Merion streets.
Walkable core and street parking
Work near the business district has to account for sidewalk traffic and parked cars. We stage tight and keep the sidewalk clear rather than coning off half a block.

House Washing in Narberth, PA
Painted frame and trim, soft washed at low pressure. Porch ceilings and decorative woodwork are where Narberth houses actually go green, and they are the parts a pressure-washing crew either skips or damages.
How our house washing worksRoof Cleaning in Narberth, PA
Asphalt shingle on most of the borough. Black streaking gets a no-pressure kill. On a twin or a close-set pair, coordinating with the neighbor avoids the obvious half-clean look and costs both of you less.

The service Narberth needs most and can access least. Drone inspection along the full run, clearing from the gutter line, and every downspout flushed to daylight, with no ladder wedged into a side yard that cannot safely hold one.
How our gutter cleaning worksPatio & Walkway Washing in Narberth, PA
Small rear patios, front steps, walks, and public sidewalk. Concrete and brick take real pressure. On a Narberth house the front steps and walk are the highest-visibility part of the job for the least money.

Rare inside the borough given the lot sizes, more likely on the Penn Valley side of the 19072 ZIP. Concrete and paver surrounds at material-appropriate pressure, with a traction check on the wet deck.

Small arrays on small roof planes, where the access problem is the entire problem. Deionized water applied from above, no detergent, and no ladder braced against a neighbor's fence line.
How our solar panel cleaning worksNarberth questions
There is barely three feet between my house and next door. Can you work there?
Yes, and that gap is the reason to call rather than the reason not to. We work from above instead of from a ladder set in a side yard that cannot safely take one, so the wall and gutter run between the houses are reachable.
My porch ceiling and trim are painted. Will the paint survive?
With soft washing, yes. High pressure is what strips paint from Victorian woodwork and raises the grain. We clean chemically at low pressure, which removes the growth and leaves the finish on the wood.
Do you cover the Penn Valley part of 19072 as well?
Yes. We work the borough of Narberth and the Lower Merion streets that share the 19072 ZIP, including Penn Valley.
