What we clean on commercial buildings

Commercial exterior cleaning is about the surfaces customers and tenants see first. We focus on the areas that drive first impressions and prevent grime from turning into long-term staining.

Storefront exteriors and entry zones

  • Customer-facing walls and façade buildup
  • Entry pads and immediate approach areas
  • Signage zones and streaking around high visibility areas

Siding, masonry, and exterior walls

We clean the most common commercial exterior materials using a surface-appropriate method.
  • Vinyl siding, painted siding, and finished exterior surfaces
  • Brick, block, and masonry exteriors
  • Concrete and stucco-like finishes where applicable
  • North-facing walls where algae and organic growth collect

Customer walkways and building-adjacent concrete

If your building looks clean but the walkways are dark, the property still reads as neglected. Many clients pair building washing with concrete surface cleaning to restore sidewalks, entry pads, and common walkways.

Commercial roofs and visible roofline staining

Roof staining and organic growth can make an otherwise clean building still look tired from the street. If the roof is visibly stained, our roof cleaning service is built for surface-appropriate cleaning that improves appearance without unnecessary damage.

Problem zones that make commercial properties look neglected

These are the areas that get dirty fast and create the strongest negative first impression:
  • Entryways and storefront faces: streaking, algae, and traffic grime
  • North-facing and shaded walls: organic growth that spreads
  • Drip lines and façade seams: runoff marks and dark staining
  • Walkways and curbs: darkened concrete and slippery buildup
  • Glass and trim areas: haze and grime that makes the building look uncared for

How we clean commercial buildings

1) Scope and surface check

We identify your exterior materials, problem zones, and access points. Then we define the work area clearly so expectations are easy to approve and results are consistent.

2) Choose the correct method for the surface

Some surfaces are best cleaned with controlled pressure. Others clean better with soft washing and the right treatment to remove organic growth safely. The goal is a clean exterior without surface damage.

3) Wash, rinse, and detail high-visibility zones

We clean and rinse thoroughly, then detail the areas people notice most: storefront faces, entrances, corners, and façade sections that show streaking and buildup.

4) Final check and close-out

We verify the results and confirm the building presents well from the customer approach. If you want to see the type of results we deliver, visit our work.

Scheduling for active businesses

Commercial properties cannot shut down for cleaning. We plan around customer flow and business hours and can schedule off-hours when it makes sense for safety and convenience. For restaurants and traffic lanes, many clients add drive-thru cleaning as part of the same visit.

Pricing

Commercial building pricing depends on building size, surface type, access, and the level of buildup. We provide a clear quote based on defined surfaces and problem zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a commercial property be pressure washed?

Most commercial properties do well with seasonal or quarterly cleaning. Restaurants, drive-thrus, and high-traffic sites usually need more frequent service, especially for drive-thru cleaning and concrete surface cleaning.

Can you work around business hours and customer traffic?

Yes. We plan the job by zones so entrances, walkways, and lanes stay usable. Many restaurants schedule drive-thru cleaning during off-hours to avoid customer flow issues.

What commercial surfaces do you clean?

We clean building exteriors, storefronts, sidewalks, entry pads, and high-traffic concrete. For full building exteriors, start with commercial building pressure washing. For flatwork and walkways, start with concrete surface cleaning.

Will pressure washing damage concrete or building materials?

Not when it is done correctly. We match pressure, tools, and chemistry to the surface to avoid etching, striping, or surface damage. When lower pressure is the better choice, we use soft washing.

Do you remove algae and slippery buildup?

Yes. Algae and organic growth are common on shaded concrete and north-facing areas. Proper treatment and cleaning improves appearance and traction, especially on sidewalks and entry pads cleaned through concrete surface cleaning.

Can you clean dumpster areas and back-of-house concrete?

Yes. We provide dumpster pad cleaning to address staining and buildup around waste zones. This is one of the most noticeable areas during inspections and routine property checks.

Do you clean fuel pads and spill-prone areas?

Yes. For pump islands and spill-prone zones, we offer fuel pad cleaning focused on appearance and traction issues common around fueling areas.

How do you handle graffiti?

We offer graffiti removal for common commercial surfaces. The sooner it is addressed, the easier it is to remove and the less likely it is to attract more tagging.

Do you offer recurring maintenance plans?

Yes. Many clients choose recurring service for entrances, sidewalks, and problem zones to keep the site consistently presentable and reduce the need for heavy deep cleaning.

Are you insured for commercial work?

Yes. We carry insurance appropriate for commercial properties. If your facility requires specific documentation before work begins, let us know during scheduling and we will provide what your site needs.

Can you meet vendor requirements for property managers and franchise locations?

Yes. If your property management team or franchise group has vendor onboarding requirements, we can coordinate scheduling, access, and any required documentation as part of the booking process.
