Restoring the look and condition of your home's exterior.

Before we start any restoration work, we walk the entire exterior and note where dirt, algae, mildew, and staining are the worst. Brick, siding, wood, and concrete all need a different approach, so this walk decides how we treat each part of the house.
Years of buildup on brick usually needs more than a rinse. We use a cleaning solution made for masonry, let it sit long enough to break down the grime, then rinse it off with a pressure washer set for stone and brick. For rust stains, which usually come from old metal fixtures, we use an oxalic acid based cleaner that lifts rust without eating into the brick underneath.
Siding gets a soft wash instead of straight pressure, since high PSI can crack vinyl or force water up behind the panels. Wood gets the gentlest treatment of all, since wood fibers can splinter and raise under too much pressure.
A simple rinse only removes what you can see on the surface. Our cleaning solution kills algae and mildew spores at the root, which is why a proper restoration wash lasts so much longer than a quick spray down.
When we're done, we do a final walk with you around the property. The goal isn't just a cleaner house. It's a home that looks the way it did the day it was built, or close to it.
The brick homes near Liberty's Courthouse Square and the surrounding historic districts on the National Register are some of the most rewarding restoration jobs we take on. Decades of dirt, algae, and old rust staining from original metal fixtures can make a genuinely beautiful home look tired, and a proper restoration here often reveals brick color that hasn't been visible in years.
St. Joseph has more buildings on the National Register of Historic Places than almost any city its size, concentrated heavily in districts like Museum Hill and Robidoux Hill. Restoring the exteriors of these homes means working alongside the same level of historic character found at landmarks like the Patee House, treating every surface with the care that kind of history deserves.
Being based near Plattsburg puts us close to the Victorian and Steamboat Gothic homes featured on the town's historic homes walking tour, some dating back to the 1880s. These restoration jobs lean heavily on soft washing and hand detail work, since the ornate trim and original siding on homes like these simply weren't built to handle modern pressure washing equipment.
Gladstone's older homes, many built in the mid twentieth century near Oak Grove Park and Maple Woods, have often gone years without a real exterior refresh. Restoration work here tends to focus heavily on siding and trim, bringing back the original color that's been buried under years of shade driven algae growth.
Cameron's downtown, anchored by landmarks like the Musser Mansion and the local Depot Museum, has its own share of century old buildings that need the same careful restoration approach as the homes in Liberty and Plattsburg. Being the largest city in Clinton County, Cameron also brings us a wider mix of home ages than a smaller town, from those historic downtown buildings to newer construction along the interstate.
A full exterior restoration on a home near Liberty's Courthouse Square often takes the better part of a day, moving from a masonry cleaning solution on the brick to a much gentler soft wash on the wood trim and painted surfaces. These jobs move slower section by section, since rushing through material this old is exactly how a restoration ends up causing more damage than it fixes.
Restoration jobs near St. Joseph's Museum Hill sometimes reveal a genuinely different brick color once decades of grime finally come off, closer to the original tone than anyone expected going in. It's one of the more rewarding parts of doing this work in a city with this much preserved history sitting right there under the surface.
The Vaile Mansion and the surrounding historic estates in Independence set a high bar for exterior upkeep, and homeowners nearby often want their own properties restored to a similar standard. These jobs combine masonry cleaning with careful wood trim work, much like our restoration visits near Liberty Square.
Restoring a home near the Elms Hotel or the Hall of Waters district in Excelsior Springs means working with the same early twentieth century materials and craftsmanship found throughout the town's resort era buildings, which calls for the gentler, more deliberate approach we use on any genuinely historic property.
Brookside and Waldo's pre war housing stock, much of it dating to the 1920s and 1930s, often needs the same full exterior restoration treatment we provide in Gladstone and Liberty, particularly on north facing walls that have sat in shade under mature trees for decades.
