Raised homes, tight lots and street parking
Many beach-area homes sit on pilings or raised foundations because of flood zones, with parking underneath and stairs up to the main level. Lots can be narrow, with homes close to one another and to the street. Access for ladders, hoses and equipment depends on the lot and the building.
Wind off the Gulf also affects how we work. Spray drifts, so we pay attention to neighbors' cars, windows and gardens, and we choose times and nozzles accordingly. In a tight lot, wash water has to be directed carefully, since sandy soil and drainage swales are close by. The quote request lets us ask about parking, stairs and water hookups before the visit.
