Maintaining a spotless exterior is about more than looks – it protects your business and makes a great first impression. Commercial pressure washing blasts away years of grime, mold, oil stains and graffiti, instantly boosting curb appeal. In Columbus’s humid climate, regular washing is essential: it removes pollen and mildew (which can affect air quality) and stops dirt from corroding building materials. Experts note that a clean, well-kept exterior can even raise your property’s value and attract more customers. By preventing damage early (for example, washing off road salt and algae in winter) you also save on costly repairs later.
Our trained technicians clean every part of your commercial property. We handle building exteriors (brick, stucco, siding, metal panels), parking lots and garages (eliminating oil, grease, salt), sidewalks, driveways and entryways (removing gum, dirt, rust), and dumpster and service areas (melting away grime and odors). We also soft-wash delicate surfaces like awnings, wood, roof shingles and signage using eco-friendly detergents and low pressure, and use high-pressure jets on tougher surfaces. In short, no job is too big or small – from office parks and retail centers to restaurants, gas stations, schools and warehouses, we tailor our approach to each surface. (See below for a summary of common cleaning tasks.)
- Building Fronts & Storefronts: Remove dirt, algae, rust, and graffiti from brick, masonry, metal and vinyl facades.
- Parking Lots & Garages: Power-wash asphalt and concrete to clear oil spots, tire marks, salt and debris for a safer, cleaner lot.
- Walkways & Entrances: Clean sidewalks, ramps, steps and paver patios of stains, weeds and mildew, reducing slip hazards.
- Dumpster & Loading Areas: Sanitize and deodorize service zones with degreasers and high-pressure wash to protect customers and staff.
- Outdoor Facilities: Revive decks, fences, benches, monuments, signs and more with the right pressure and detergents for each material.
Every project starts with an inspection: we determine where to use high-pressure washing and where to use a gentler soft wash. Soft washing (low-pressure spray with biodegradable cleaners) is perfect for painted surfaces and fabrics, while high-pressure steam cleaning tackles concrete and brick. We arrive at the scheduled time (often after hours or early morning to avoid disrupting your business). Surrounding plants and sensitive areas are protected with tarps or barriers. Using state-of-the-art equipment (some units deliver up to 3,500 PSI and 200°F water), we blast away contaminants without leaving puddles or runoff. After cleaning, we rinse thoroughly and inspect the site to ensure nothing is missed. Professional crews follow all safety protocols to prevent damage – they know the right pressure for each surface to avoid etching or stripping away coatings.
Our process is efficient, eco-conscious and effective. We use water-recycling systems and vacuum capture whenever possible to minimize runoff. In fact, EPA guidelines warn that untreated wash water can carry oils, chemicals and pollutants into storm drains, so our team contains and properly disposes of waste water according to local regulations. We employ biodegradable cleaning solutions free of harsh phosphates or bleach whenever practical. This protects landscaping, wildlife and community waterways. By combining water reclamation with high-efficiency nozzles, we reduce water use by as much as 90% while still delivering the deep clean your property needs.
