Every surface gets classified before any tool touches it in your Bridgeport, OH property.
Using the wrong tool on either class tends to make the residue worse.
Metal fixtures get attention early since acidic residue starts pitting fast.
Fine particulate captured rather than recirculated back into the air.

Dry-chemical sponge work lifts embedded particulate without pushing it deeper.

No return trip needed once the surface classification is done.
Every surface gets classified and priced before any cleaning starts.
The job isn't finished until every classified surface has been addressed.
