A Dirty Exterior Tells Customers You Stopped Caring.
Black gum spots, oil stains, mildew streaks and grimy entrances build up slowly, until the whole property reads as neglected. Pressure washing is the fastest, cheapest way to make a commercial property look maintained again.
First-Impression Killers
Gum, stains and grimy entrances are the first thing customers see. And the first sign a property is poorly run.
Slip & Safety Hazards
Algae, mildew and oil build slick, dangerous films on walkways and ramps that become liability claims.
Surfaces Degrade
Left unwashed, organic growth and contaminants eat into concrete, brick and EIFS, shortening their life.
The Right Pressure For The Right Surface
Concrete takes high pressure; brick, stucco, painted block and signage do not. We match pressure washing and low-pressure soft washing to each surface so grime comes off without etching, gouging or stripping what’s underneath.
Surface-Matched Pressure
High-pressure for flatwork and concrete, soft wash for facades, signage and delicate finishes.
Hot Water & Degreasing
Hot-water units and commercial degreasers cut oil, grease and gum that cold water leaves behind.
Full Exterior Scope
Sidewalks, entrances, drive-throughs, dumpster pads, parking decks, awnings and building exteriors.
Phased Around Traffic
We wash early mornings, nights and weekends so your walkways are dry and open for business.
One crew. Start to finish.
How We Get It Done
Walk & Assess
We identify each surface and the right pressure, water temperature and detergent for it.
Pre-Treat
Degreasers and detergents are applied to break down gum, oil and organic growth before washing.
Wash & Rinse
Surface cleaners and wands lift the grime evenly. No zebra-striping, no missed edges.
Inspect & Reopen
We walk it with you, hit any spots left behind, and the area is dry and open fast.
Same Concrete. Drag To See The Difference.
From black-streaked, gum-spotted and slick to bright, clean and safe, in a single pass with the right pressure. (Representative result.)

How To Tell Your Lot Needs Power Washing
- 01
Black streaking down sidewalks and entry paving
General grime and pollution build-up, the thing that makes a well-kept property read as neglected from the road.
- 02
Green or black growth on shaded and north-facing surfaces
Algae and mildew. These are also a slip hazard on walkways once wet.
- 03
Gum and oil concentrated at entrances and loading bays
High-contact areas that need spot treatment rather than a general wash.
- 04
Dulling or streaking on building cladding
Often the first thing a tenant or a prospective buyer comments on, and usually cosmetic rather than structural.
What drives the price
Area and surface type set the price, and access sets the rest. Ground-level sidewalk and hardstanding is straightforward. Building elevations requiring reach equipment, and anything needing containment or water recovery, cost more. Gum removal and oil-stain treatment are usually priced separately because they are slow, spot-by-spot work rather than area work.
When power washing is the wrong answer
High pressure is the wrong tool on painted surfaces, EIFS and older render, where it drives water behind the finish or strips it outright. Those need a soft-wash approach using chemistry rather than force. If someone quotes a single pressure wash across a mixed facade without distinguishing the substrates, that is a repair bill waiting to happen.
Pressure, Water Temperature And What They Will Ruin
Power washing damage is nearly always a pressure or chemistry decision made by someone who did not slow down to look at the surface.
2,000 to 3,000 psi with a rotating surface cleaner. The surface cleaner is what prevents wand striping, which is the most common visible sign of a rushed job.
500 to 1,200 psi for painted surfaces, EIFS, stucco, wood and siding. These surfaces clean with chemistry and dwell time, and high pressure destroys them.
Grease, gum and oil need heat. Cold water moves them around. Drive-thru lanes, dumpster pads and restaurant service areas are hot-water work.
Alkaline degreaser for petroleum and food grease. A sodium hypochlorite mix for the organic growth that darkens north-facing walls. Matching the chemistry to the soil is what lets you keep the pressure down.
Pressure that cleans concrete also removes traffic paint. Anywhere fresh striping meets a wash schedule, the wash comes first and the paint second.
Wash water carrying detergent or grease is not supposed to enter a storm drain. Sites with inlets in the wash area need containment, a recovery vacuum, or both.
Oxidized paint, failing sealant joints, EIFS with damage, and older mortar. Washing these makes them worse, and the honest answer is to say so before starting.
Standards that govern it
The limits come from the surface manufacturer and from municipal stormwater rules on discharge to storm inlets. On a commercial site those two together decide the pressure, the chemistry and the containment, and neither is negotiable by whoever holds the wand.
Weather window and reopening
Surface temperature above freezing, and enough of a dry-down window for whatever gets sealed or painted afterwards. Occupied retail and restaurant sites are washed before opening, because wet concrete and customers are a slip claim waiting to happen.
How often, and how long it lasts
Entrances, drive-thru lanes and dumpster pads want a quarterly cycle. Facade and general flatwork run annually on most properties, and twice a year where the property is the first thing a tenant’s customer sees.
How the work is measured
Flatwork is priced by the square foot. Building elevations are priced by elevation and access, because reaching the surface costs more than cleaning it.
What it costs
Large flatwork runs about $0.15 to $0.50 per square foot. Hot water, heavy grease, height access and water recovery each move it up. Building elevations are quoted by elevation rather than by area, because reaching the surface costs more than cleaning it.

Power Washing FAQ
What can you power wash on a commercial property?
Sidewalks and entrances, storefronts and building exteriors, parking decks and garages, dumpster pads, drive-throughs, loading docks, awnings, signage and more. If it has grime on it, we have the right method to clean it.
Will high pressure damage my brick or storefront?
Not when the method matches the material. Brick, stucco, EIFS, painted block and signage get low-pressure soft washing with detergents, not raw high pressure. So they come clean without etching or damage.
Can you remove gum, oil and grease stains?
Yes. Hot-water units and commercial degreasers lift chewing gum, oil drips and grease that cold-water pressure alone leaves behind. Deep-set stains may lighten rather than vanish entirely, and we will tell you honestly upfront.
Do you wash at night or before opening?
Yes, for active retail and commercial properties we schedule early mornings, nights and weekends so walkways are clean, dry and safe before your customers arrive.
What areas do you serve?
New Jersey, the NYC metro, Long Island and Eastern Pennsylvania. One vendor, one invoice across your whole portfolio.
