MASONRY CLEANING
The accumulation of pollutants, biological growth, or paints and coatings can be detrimental to the longevity of any masonry structure. The cleaning of these surfaces should be considered regular maintenance. However, this cleaning should be handled carefully, and by experienced personnel.
