Frankfort sits in the Kentucky River valley where the humidity stays high year round. The historic homes near the Capitol building, along Wapping Street, and in the South Frankfort neighborhood have brick, stone, and painted wood that require careful low pressure soft washing. High pressure would strip the paint and damage the mortar. We know the difference and we treat each surface accordingly. The neighborhoods in West Frankfort and along US 127 see heavy tree coverage that traps moisture against every surface. We serve the Frankfort area regularly and most jobs are completed within one visit.
The Kentucky River valley creates a microclimate in Frankfort that is noticeably more humid than the surrounding hilltops. Morning fog hangs in the valley well past sunrise, and the north-facing walls of homes along the river bluffs can stay damp until midday even in summer. That prolonged moisture contact is the single biggest reason exterior surfaces in Frankfort grow algae faster than properties at higher elevations just a few miles away. The homes along Wilkinson Boulevard, Second Street, and the streets climbing up to Fort Hill deal with this constantly.
State government buildings, office complexes, and professional offices along Capitol Avenue and East Main Street make up a steady part of our Frankfort work. Property managers responsible for maintaining the appearance of commercial buildings in the capital city understand that the first impression matters, and a mold-streaked facade or grimy sidewalk does not project the right image. We schedule quarterly and semi-annual cleanings for several commercial properties in downtown Frankfort.
The residential neighborhoods in West Frankfort along Holmes Street and Versailles Road have a dense mix of mid-century ranch homes and older two-story properties. The lot sizes are modest and the mature hardwoods grow right up against the houses. Leaves, pollen, and organic debris build up in gutters quickly, and the siding below the tree line stays shaded enough to support year-round algae growth. Gutter cleaning combined with house washing is our most popular service package in that part of town.
Out along US 127 South toward Lawrenceburg, the properties get larger and the tree coverage gets thicker. The homes in the Bald Knob and Peaks Mill areas sit on wooded lots where roof cleaning becomes a priority because moss and algae shorten the life of asphalt shingles when left untreated. Our soft wash roof treatment kills the growth at the root and prevents regrowth for two to three years depending on shade exposure.
