All About Latham, NY

Latham is a hamlet in the Town of Colonie, and it is defined by the Route 9 commercial corridor running through it. That road is the thing that shapes the work here. Traffic volume means road film and tar build up on rocker panels and lower doors far faster than they do on a quiet residential street, and neither comes off with ordinary washing — tar in particular needs a solvent and patience. Winter makes it worse, because a road that busy gets treated early and heavily. There is also a good deal of commercial and fleet work around here, which is a different brief again: those vehicles are parked on a customer's driveway as a piece of advertising, so what matters is consistency rather than a one-off finish. Being close to the airport, we also see cars that have sat in long-stay parking for a week or more.
