Paris and Bourbon County have a mix of properties that need different cleaning approaches. The historic buildings in downtown Paris along Main Street and Pleasant Street have older brick and stonework that cannot handle high pressure. The horse farm properties along Paris Pike and the Cane Ridge area have miles of fencing, barn exteriors, and estate homes that need regular maintenance to look their best. The residential neighborhoods around Houston Oaks and the newer developments off US 27 and US 68 also benefit from annual house washing.
Bourbon County is horse country and the properties here reflect that. The plank fencing that lines Paris Pike, Bethlehem Road, and Hutchison Road turns gray and develops algae within a few years of installation. We soft wash plank fencing to remove the biological growth without damaging the wood, and many farm managers follow that up with our staining service to protect the fence for another three to five years. A single horse farm can have a mile or more of fencing, and we have the equipment and crew capacity to handle those jobs efficiently.
The estate homes on the larger Bourbon County properties often have a combination of stone, brick, painted wood, and vinyl on a single structure. The carriage houses, guest cottages, and barn living quarters add even more surface variety. We adjust our pressure settings and cleaning solutions for each material, which is why property managers in Bourbon County trust us with their most valuable buildings. One farm manager along Russell Cave Road told us we were the only company he would let near his owner's limestone main house because we understood that limestone is soft and porous and cannot be blasted clean.
In the city of Paris itself, the neighborhoods along Vine Street, Higgins Avenue, and the residential blocks between US 68 and US 460 have modest single-family homes that accumulate the same algae and mold as every other Central Kentucky city. The difference in Paris is the tree coverage. The streets in the older residential core are some of the most heavily canopied in the region, and the homes beneath those trees stay damp well into the afternoon. Annual house washing removes the green and black growth and helps the siding last longer by eliminating the organisms that break down the surface over time.
The commercial district in downtown Paris has seen a revitalization effort in recent years, and several business owners have hired us to clean their storefronts, sidewalks, and rear loading areas as part of that improvement. Clean concrete and bright siding make a visible difference on a downtown streetscape, and we are glad to be part of that investment.
Paris is about twenty minutes northeast of Lexington and we serve it on a regular rotation. Whether you have a three-bedroom ranch on a quarter acre or a two-hundred-acre horse farm with twelve buildings, we bring the same professional equipment, the same two million dollar insurance policy, and the same 5.0 rated service.
