Why Aurora Exteriors Get Dirty Fast
Aurora sits on a bend of the Ohio River at river mile 497. That river view comes with river air. Damp mornings, humid summers and fog off the water keep siding, roofs and decks wet longer than they should be.
Wet surfaces grow things. Green algae on vinyl. Black mildew on painted trim. Moss on shady brick and steps.
The town is also hilly. Homes stacked up the slopes above the river get runoff, mud splash and shade on one side and full sun on the other. That means uneven staining, faded decks and walkways that stay slick.
And Aurora has lived with floods. When the river rises, low-lying concrete, foundations and lower siding take the hit. Mud lines and silt don't rinse off with a garden hose.

Aurora Neighborhoods We Serve
Historic downtown. Aurora's downtown historic district covers 25 blocks of 19th- and 20th-century buildings and is listed on the National Register. Second Street has seen a wave of investment and restoration. Old brick and stone get soft washing only. We will never take high pressure to historic mortar.
Second Street near the old depot. Aurora's Craftsman-style railroad depot on Second Street still has its original ticket window and now houses the local history library. The brick buildings around it are close to the river and soak up moisture. A gentle wash brings back the color without hurting the brick.
Around First Presbyterian at Main and Fourth. The 1850 Greek Revival church sits on a sloping hill with the town clock in its tower. The streets nearby are lined with older homes that do best with soft washing and careful rinsing.
Fifth Street and the Hillforest area. Hillforest, the 1855 Italian Renaissance mansion at 213 Fifth Street, is a National Historic Landmark. The homes around it are older, detailed and worth protecting. We treat them that way.
Main Street, Fourth Street and Judiciary Street. Big porches, tall windows and painted wood trim. A house wash here brightens everything without stripping paint.
Near Lesko Park and the riverfront. Lesko Park sits right on the Ohio River across from Crescent Brewery Park at Fifth Street and State Road 56. Homes and businesses close to the water fight the most mildew and the most flood residue.
Around Aurora City Park. Family homes near the aquatic center and the Round Barn. Think driveways, patios and decks that see heavy summer use.
The hills above town. Newer homes on the ridges have vinyl siding, wide driveways and big decks. Sun bakes the stain off one side while the other side grows algae.
If you have an Aurora address, we cover it.
Real Before and After

The photo above is one of our real deck jobs. Gray, worn boards on the left. A deep, even solid-color finish on the right.
Aurora's hills and river humidity are tough on decks. Boards stay damp, then bake in afternoon sun. That cycle cracks stain fast.
Our fix is simple. Strip the old stain completely. Clean the wood. Apply a quality stain and sealer. Do it right once instead of slapping on a coat every spring.
Aurora homeowners usually call us for:
- Moss and algae on shady brick steps and walkways.
- Mud lines and silt after high water.
- A deck that's peeling, splintered or gray.
- Black streaks on the roof.
- A storefront or entry that needs to look sharp for customers.
