- Material or finish tier
- Removal and disposal
- Ground, drainage, or structural conditions
This service model prices cleaned surface area. Surface material, staining, height, water access, runoff containment, detergents, nearby plants, fragile joints, and setup time can matter more than square footage. The result excludes repair, sealing, painting, and replacement. A comparable service description should name each surface and the cleaning method rather than promise one pressure setting for the property.
