Culbertson Restoration Ltd. has cleaned numerous façades over the years to the satisfaction of its owners, architects, and conservators using the appropriate method for the circumstances based on pre-construction testing. Common cleaning methods include water cleaning, chemicals, and abrasive blasting. All of these methods have their merits, but all methods must be performed with caution so the fabric of the façade is not damaged.
The CRL restoration team recommends façade cleaning for the following reasons:
- Improves appearance
- Decreases the deterioration process
- Provides a clean appearance to accurately match mortar or patching materials
