River Ridge sits between Jefferson Highway and the river levee under a mature oak canopy, and that shade is the whole story here.
River Ridge sits between Jefferson Highway and the river levee under a mature oak canopy, and that shade is the whole story here. Established trees drop leaves, twigs, and pollen across roofs and gutters through most of the year, and they keep the ground and the north side of the house from ever drying fully. Green film on walkways and dark streaking on roofs are the usual result.
Roofs under that much cover are the surface most often damaged by the wrong approach. Shingles never take high pressure from us; they get a low-pressure wash with a solution that clears the growth without lifting a single tab. Gutters under a mature canopy fill faster than most owners expect, so clearing them before storm season is worth more than clearing them after. Call (504) 688-3995.
Established oaks shed across most of the year rather than in one autumn drop, and what comes down is fine: leaves, catkins, twigs and acorns. That material packs into a mat in the bottom of the gutter instead of flushing through, and constant damp keeps it from drying out and blowing clear. Water then runs across the top of the mat and straight over the front lip, so a gutter can be effectively blocked while looking only half full from the ground.
Twice a year is the general baseline and it is often not enough on a lot directly under mature canopy. Clearing before storm season is worth considerably more than clearing after it.
Paths and patios that never get direct sun grow algae steadily, and algae on damp concrete is genuinely slippery rather than just unsightly. On a shaded River Ridge lot the walkways often need attention before the house does. A surface cleaner takes the growth off evenly and restores the open texture of the concrete, which is what actually provides grip, and it avoids the wand arcs that a narrow jet leaves behind.
Gulf humidity and heavy tree canopy mean growth comes back fast here.
Call (504) 688-3995 or send the form. Short notice is usually fine on the River Ridge route.
Soft wash on siding, surface cleaners on concrete, detail work where it counts. The surface decides the pressure.
We check every surface with you before the truck leaves River Ridge. If it's not right, we keep washing.
We run the same routes across Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and St. Tammany.
