We were contacted back in October of 2010 to bid on this 5 Story Hampton Inn Hotel in Tampa Florida. They wanted the Exterior walls of the Building Washed as well as the Concrete Walkways and front entryway to the Hotel. We got the call about two weeks ago and told that we were chosen to perform the job. We were told that their decision was not money motivated but rather based on a company who was experiences in Soft Washing due to the fact that the Building Exterior is made of Drivit material and they were afraid of someone using high pressure and possibly damaging the sub strait. The bottom half of the building (The dark grey area) is already in desperate need of repainting and they were worried about having someone causing more damage to the rest of the Building by using high Pressure. Needless to say, they will only have to repaint the bottom grey areas.
We had this job scheduled for Saturday but were forced to wait until Sunday due to 25-30mph winds and cold weather. The winds had died down Sunday to about half and it was still cold especially up on a 40ft lift. The building had a lot of wasp nests, mud dobbers and spider sacks, mainly at the top of the building which took up most of our time. The North side and the West side of the Building had the most Mold and Algae on it which we were able to easily remove using a Down Stream/ Soft Wash Method.
The Property/Hotel Manager was extremely happy with the results. Here are a few pictures of the job.
Great looking job Larry! I'm the maintenance supervisor at a Hampton Inn, still toying with the idea of this business. Totally rural in my area! Neighborhoods and communities are far apart- I'm wondering if the black run-off stains gave you any problem? The Hampton I work at had major problems with those black stains. (Must be the same stains as seen on gutters). Simple Green and a brush worked for us!

I love doing the drivit they are so easy to clean.
Your right. They are fairly easy to Clean until you have to deal with real black mold in certain areas from neglect and spider web sacks. Those like to stick like crazy and can be a real PITA to remove.
