We recently had George Apap carpentry and painters complete the exterior of our house. The carpenters and painters were extremely helpful and professional. They informed us daily of when they would be coming and what they would be doing each day. After each day they cleaned up and stored their equipment neatly and out of the way. During the painting process the painters were diligent, neat and took precautions to keep themselves safe and the quality of work was outstanding.
Mark the foreman was particularly helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. His work ethic should be commended as the crew stayed until 7:00pm on a Friday wanting to complete the work and knowing bad weather was coming the following Monday.
We couldn’t have been more happy with the work and the finished product. If you are considering having your home painted I would highly recommend George Apap.

We had a very professional experience with George Apap! They came exactly when they said they would and returned my cabinet doors and drawer looking fabulous. Our experience with both Frank and DJ was amazing. I would definitely recommend this company to all and hope to use them again in the future.

George Apap was extremely professional and transparent with the estimates and contract. The crew that came was great and did a great job. The crew moved all the furniture and made the process easy. I would use them again for any future projects.

Washing services Q&A

WHAT IS SOFT WASHING?

Soft washing is a cleaning method using low pressure and specialized biodegradable chemical solutions to safely remove mildew, mold, bacteria, algae, pollen, dirt and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors without damaging surfaces on your home or killing your plants.

HOW SOFT WASHING DIFFERENT FROM POWER WASHING?

Power washing relies primarily on a penetrating jet of water. Soft washing relies on the power of the cleaning products being used. Power washing or pressure washing often has a stigma. Homeowners link it to worn out paint, blown window seals, destroyed landscaping and much more. Whether this association comes from a bad experience with a previous contractor or from DIY experiences, a knowledgeable estimator will often address all concerns with the customer to educate them on the process that best fits their needs. It’s also at this point that the term “soft washing” is introduced.

What does THE SOFT-WASH PROCESS INCLUDE?

  1. Protecting delicate plants and landscaping
  2. Applying a cleaning solution that includes mildewcides, algaecides and surfactants
  3. Giving the solution time to work, penetrating to the roots of your home and killing the roots of the growth.
  4. Rinsing all surfaces

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS?

Not only does the soft-washing method safely and thoroughly clean surfaces-such as your roof, deck, patio, siding or fence- but it also is gentle on your home’s surfaces. It is extremely effective in removing unsightly mold, mildew, algae and fungi, as well as in preserving the lifespan of your paint, shingles and siding. Plus, it’s easy to protect your plants and landscaping.

DOES POWER WASHING STILL HAVE A PLACE?

Yes! Power washing certainly has a specific place and purpose when it comes to cleaning driveways, patios and walkways, but the extreme velocity of the water can potentially damage softer materials like wood, shingles, vinyl siding. A professional pressure washing company will know exactly what combination and nozzle extensions to use to achieve the proper pressure, volume and chemical mixture to clean all surfaces thoroughly, effectively and safely.
