Building exterior washing
Buildings go green on the north side and grey everywhere else, and it happens so slowly that nobody notices until a photo gets taken. We wash commercial exteriors across the province, including high rise.
Soft wash where soft wash is what the surface needs
Not every surface wants full pressure. Cladding, painted steel, stucco and older wood can all be damaged by someone treating them like a concrete pad. The right answer is usually lower pressure and the right product, letting the cleaner do the work instead of forcing it with a nozzle. We read the surface first and we have been doing it since 1997.
What we clean on a building
- Vinyl, aluminum and steel siding, including the green that sets in on shaded walls
- Cladding and panel systems on commercial and institutional buildings
- High rise exteriors
- Soffit, fascia and trim
- Concrete, block and masonry walls
The green is not dirt
That grey green film on a north facing wall is biological. It is algae, and in our climate it is basically guaranteed, because we have damp air and long stretches without direct sun on that side of a building. Blasting it off with pressure alone knocks the surface layer down and leaves the rest to come straight back. Treating it properly is what makes a wash last.
Property managers and repeat work
Most building work we do is on a cycle, because exteriors do not stay clean and everybody would rather book it than think about it. If you look after several buildings, it is worth walking us through all of them at once so we can tell you which ones actually need doing this year and which can wait.
Real jobs, not stock photos.
