Solano County
One of the oldest towns in California, sitting on the water. Old houses and salt air are a demanding combination.
Downtown Benicia has homes from the 1800s with original wood floors, tall baseboards, panelled doors, old glass and hardware that cannot be replaced. Every one of those is a surface that punishes the wrong product. We identify the finishes on the first visit and choose accordingly, which takes longer and costs a fraction of restoring something we ruined.
Homes near the strait get a fine salt haze on windows, mirrors and metal fixtures. Dry-polishing smears it and the wrong spray brings it straight back. Glass gets washed rather than polished, and the metal around it gets dried afterwards so it does not spot.
Up the hill, Southampton is postwar and later tract housing with modern finishes, more square footage and fewer fragile surfaces. Faster per square foot than downtown, and priced that way rather than on one blended rate.

That is salt from the waterfront, not dirt. It needs washing rather than polishing, and the surrounding metal needs drying or it spots.
Yes, both, throughout 94510. They are quoted differently because the work is genuinely different.
