House washing detailsHome / Guilford, CT
Service area
MBD Pressure Washing serves Guilford at the eastern end of our area. Very little of this town's housing can take high pressure, and that is the point.
Local conditions
Guilford was founded in 1639 and its historic town center covers around four square miles, running from Interstate 95 south to Long Island Sound, with the West River on one side and East Creek on the other. Both edges are still lined with salt marsh, so the center sits back from the Sound across a broad band of marsh rather than directly on sand.
The town green was laid out in 1639 and its shape is essentially unchanged. Around it Guilford holds what the town describes as the third largest collection of historic homes in New England, with dwellings from the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the Henry Whitfield House of 1639 is the oldest stone house in New England.
Housing of that age sets the method before anyone picks up a wand. Centuries old clapboard, painted trim and soft historic masonry are damaged by pressure a modern vinyl wall would shrug off. Everything here is soft washed, and the marsh air keeps organic growth coming back on the shaded elevations.

Who turns up
MBD Pressure Washing is owner operated. When you book a job in Guilford, you are not handed to a crew you have never spoken to. The same person answers the phone, looks at the property, gives you the price and does the work.
It is a run east along the Sound, so Guilford is a regular stop rather than a job squeezed in at the edge of a service map. That matters for the small things: turning up when promised, moving furniture back where it was, and not cutting a wash short to reach the next town before dark.
If it is worth doing, it is worth doing carefully and correctly.
