PRESSURE WASHING & CLEANING
Pressure Washing and Cleaning Services
What does painting a home or building, coating a parking deck, painting a machine, or applying roof coatings all have in common? Before any of these processes can start, the surface must be clean. The most common way to prepare a surface is by pressure washing.

To Paint or Not To Paint
A dirty building façade does not always need repainting. Commercial pressure washing services can transform building exteriors and consumers’ impressions of your business or facility. If you have ever washed a dirty car and afterwards been asked if it is new, you understand the importance and impact of a clean, fresh building. When exterior paint is relatively new or simply in good condition, pressure washing may be all that is needed.
No matter is it’s Hickory, Gastonia, or Greensboro, our pressure washing services bring a fresh, flawless finish to every project.
Why our approach to commercial painting works
If you know what to look for, you’ll find that every property tells you exactly what it needs.
Corrugated metal ceilings going rusty. Paint chips falling into a production line. Walls carrying greasy residue no cleaning crew can touch… We read those conditions, match the right system, and deliver exactly what you and your property need. Sometimes the right solution is just a conversation away.
High Pressure Questions
A few things to consider when searching for and pricing pressure washing and cleaning contractors:
- What is the actual, washable square footage of the project area? This is not the square footage of the building’s footprint, but of the actual wall surfaces being cleaned.
- How many structures are being cleaned?
- What is the height of the project area?
- Are there potential safety issues with the existing structure?
- Does your project need to be performed at night, on weekends or during facility shutdowns to reduce the impact to business activities or the public?
Pressure Washing Done Right
When done well, pressure washing is more than just “point and shoot.” It involves technique: consideration of wall openings so water isn’t forced into them (creating mold), using the right force, the right mild chemicals, and just letting the products do the work.

FAQ's
How much does it cost to pressure wash a building?
This will vary greatly depending on the size of the building, the working conditions of the site, the amount of decking to clean and the overall conditions of the structure.
Will pressure washing damage my wood surfaces?
The short answer is, yes, it could. Our crews are trained in various tactics that will help prevent damage to wood siding and decks. By using low pressure, wide fan tips, agitation by brushing and mild cleaning detergents your wood surfaces can be cleaned thoroughly and gently! If someone who is not trained in proper washing techniques starts blasting away however, a lot of damage can be done in a short amount of time.
When you wash my roof will you cause leaks?
It depends on the type of roof and the condition it is in currently. When washing a residential roof, we use very low pressure and additional cleaning detergents. Also, we only wash from the ridge down. This will prevent any water from being blown into the home. When washing a commercial metal roof before coating, some leaks usually do occur. This is because of the overlapping structure of a metal roof and also due to the condition of the roof. By the time most businesses decide to have their roof coated, the roof is already very loose from thermal shock (and leaks are often already an issue). We take steps to limit potential leaks, but a little bit of water typically does get in.
Will pressure washing damage my current paint job?
If any surface is washed too aggressively it can be damaged. However, as long as your current paint job is not peeling and in good condition, it should not be damaged by a regular pressure washing.
