Where commercial buildings actually get dirty.
Commercial exteriors get dirty in predictable places. The north and shaded elevations go green first because they never dry out. The lower few feet of every wall picks up road film and salt spray off the parking lot. Dumpster enclosures and back-of-house walls collect grease. Under the soffits and around the signage, spiders and mud nests build up where nobody looks.
Each of those wants a different mix, not more pressure. We use the same biodegradable, plant-safe detergents we use on houses, applied at low pressure and rinsed clean. On painted, fiber-cement, brick, stucco, and vinyl walls, high pressure is what causes the damage. It drives water behind the cladding and it chalks paint. High pressure stays on the concrete.
Scheduling is usually the bigger question. Most of this work happens before opening, after close, or over a weekend so nobody walks through a wet entry. You get told which elevations we are doing on which day. We handle the water source and the runoff, and the certificate of insurance goes out before anyone shows up. In this climate most properties look maintained on a wash every 12 to 18 months, or yearly if the building sits under canopy.
What's included in commercial building washing.
Standard commercial building washing includes:
- Soft wash of painted, fiber-cement, brick, stucco, and vinyl exterior surfaces
- Window frames, trim, soffits, and fascia
- Storefront facades and the exterior of signage
- Exterior face of gutters cleaned during the same visit
- Landscaping wet down before and rinsed after
- Lift or extension equipment for multi-story access
- Certificate of insurance sent before work starts
- Recurring service contracts with locked pricing
An owner is on every job. On commercial work that matters, because the person who scoped it is the person on site, and a question about an unexpected surface or a blocked access point gets answered on the spot.
Pricing typically runs $0.12 to $0.18 per square foot of cleaned surface, with multi-property and recurring discounts. Scope moves the number more than square footage does: stories, access, how much organic growth there is, and whether the work has to happen outside business hours. Send photos or a site address to (860) 553-9326 and we will put a written scope together.
Most properties bundle the exterior into one rotation. Walls and commercial window cleaning in one visit, then parking lot and concrete cleaning and commercial gutter cleaning on the same schedule. Multi-tenant sites are covered under shopping center cleaning. See service areas.
