Frequently Asked Questions

A commercial building wash cleans the entire exterior surface of the building and removes dirt, debris, cobwebs, algae, mold, mildew and other surface stains. We soft wash at low pressure with a cleaning solution, so the facade is cleaned without damage. On retail buildings the upper coping is cleaned first. Doors are sealed with waterproof tape before we start, and we recommend window cleaning afterward, because soap and rinse water leave residue on the glass.

Yes. We soft wash at low pressure, because high pressure can force water into a building and damage the finish, and we seal doors with waterproof tape before the first rinse. On multi-day jobs we check in with the property manager at the end of each day so any concern is caught early. If you know of past leaks or failed sealant, tell us when you request the quote and we will plan the work around them.

It depends on the building, so we price each one from the property rather than from a rate card. Size, height, roof and lift access, how heavy the growth is, water supply, night or weekend timing and how often you want it done all move the number. The written proposal splits the work into lines, such as the front and sides separately from the back, and explains why one building costs more than another.

Yes. Large buildings are often split by elevation, with the front and sides on one line and the back of the building on another, so ownership can approve the most visible part first. Window cleaning, sidewalks and dumpster pads go on their own lines too. Anything not included, such as a storefront a tenant maintains itself, is named in writing so the proposal can be forwarded without a phone call.

Usually from a lift. Before the job we confirm where the lift can park and whether it can reach every side of the building, since some courtyards cannot take one. Where a lift is impractical, our drone washing service reaches the upper floors from the ground. The method is the same at every height: a cleaning solution applied at low pressure, followed by a high-volume rinse.

It depends on the size and height of the building and how it is reached. One elevation of a retail building is a much shorter job than a multi-story office building, which can run over several days. We agree the schedule with you before work starts, and on multi-day jobs we check in with the property manager at the end of each day to report progress and anything we need.

Yes. We wash multi-story commercial buildings by drone across metro Atlanta: upper floors, glass, facades and rooflines that are hard to reach from a lift. Most drone work is soft washing, which means applying a cleaning solution at low pressure and rinsing it off rather than blasting the surface.

When the high parts of a building are hard to reach or a lift cannot set up: over landscaping or slopes, around atriums and glass walls, or where blocking entrances and parking is a problem. For low buildings and detailed work at street level a lift or a ground crew is often still the better tool, and we will tell you which fits after a walkthrough.

Yes. Drone washing is soft washing: low pressure with a cleaning solution, the same method we use from a lift on a building wash. Doors and openings are sealed before we start, as on any building wash.

Yes. Our pilot holds an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and our drone work is covered by drone liability insurance. We can send a certificate of insurance before the job.

Up to 80 stories, so high-rise towers as well as mid-rise office buildings and hotels. Every building is different, so we confirm the plan for yours after a walkthrough.

Storefront pressure washing is the cleaning of the fronts of retail stores: the facade, upper coping, columns, soffits and covered walkways, usually along with the sidewalk and glass. On the walls we soft wash at low pressure with a cleaning solution, and on the concrete in front we use a surface cleaner and high pressure. At shopping centers the work is done overnight, so stores open to a clean, dry front.

Upper coping is the capping that runs along the top of a storefront parapet. It is the hardest part of a retail facade to reach, so it is often the dirtiest, collecting dirt, cobwebs, algae and mildew that show from the parking lot. It is cleaned first on a storefront job, before the facade and the windows, and is often quoted for a whole center at once.

Because washing the coping and facade puts soap and rinse water on the glass. We clean from the top down: upper coping first, then the facade, then the windows, so nothing runs onto surfaces that are already finished. That is why window cleaning is recommended after any coping or building wash, and why we quote it as its own line on the same proposal.

Yes. Storefront work at shopping centers is usually done overnight, typically starting around 11 PM and finishing by 6 AM, or early in the morning so it is done before the first store opens. We ask you to let tenants know the date so they can bring in anything near their doors. Where apartments sit above the shops, we check noise rules before committing to a night.

Yes. Where a tenant maintains its own storefront, awnings or windows, we name that exclusion in the proposal, tenant by tenant, so there is no question later about what was included. Each building, and each service such as coping, facade, glass and sidewalks, can be its own line, so a landlord approves exactly the parts of the center they are responsible for.

It is quoted per center, from the number of buildings, the length of storefront and what is included. Coping height and how it is reached, tenant exclusions, the condition of the surfaces, water access and overnight timing all affect the price. The proposal lists each building and service as its own line, so you can start with the most visible areas and add the rest later.

Yes. We clean fabric and metal awnings and the undersides of canopies on shopping centers, office buildings and campuses across metro Atlanta. Fabric is cleaned with soft-bristle brushes, a cleaning solution and a low-pressure rinse, while metal awnings and frames can take more pressure. At retail centers the work is usually done overnight. Larger entrance canopies and covered walkways are covered by our canopy cleaning service.

Match the method to the material. Fabric awnings should be cleaned with soft-bristle brushes, a cleaning solution and a low-pressure rinse, because high pressure is hard on fabric. Metal awnings and frames tolerate more pressure. Plan to clean the windows afterward too: water and soap from the awnings run onto the glass and doors below and leave residue.

With a cleaning solution, soft-bristle brushes and a low-pressure rinse. The solution loosens the mold, mildew and algae, the brushes work it out of the fabric, and the low pressure preserves the material. Long-standing stains on older, faded fabric may lighten without disappearing completely. If that happens, we tell you in writing with the before-and-after photos.

There is no flat rate; awning cleaning is priced per property. The quote depends on how many awnings there are, fabric versus metal, their size and height, how long since the last cleaning, whether undersides and outparcel buildings are included, water access and night scheduling. We count the awnings, confirm the count with you and put each part of the job on its own line in a written proposal.

Yes, we recommend it. Water and soap from the awnings run onto the windows and glass doors below and leave residue, so the glass looks worse until it is cleaned. We list window cleaning as a separate line in the proposal, so you can approve the awnings alone or both together.

Only bring in what is stored near their doors. We ask the property manager to let tenants know the date and to have them bring inside anything near the entrance before they close. Most awning work at retail centers is done overnight, so stores open to clean, dry storefronts and nobody works above customers during the day.

It is cleaning the canopies and covered walkways over a property's entrances: the top, the underside, the fascia and the columns. We soft wash at low pressure with a cleaning solution and rinse at high volume, so painted, metal and glass finishes are cleaned without damage. It is usually booked together with a building wash, storefront cleaning or the sidewalks below.

Yes. The underside is where cobwebs, dirt and mildew build up, right above the people walking in, so it gets the same attention as the top. We clean it at low pressure and rinse it, and the walkway below is cleaned afterward so nothing drips onto a finished surface. Covered walkways between buildings are cleaned the same way.

Yes. Glass canopies are cleaned at low pressure and rinsed, and on a building wash they are done after the walls so rinse water does not dry on clean glass. At Georgia Piedmont Technical College's Conference Center in Clarkston we cleaned brown staining off the glass entrance canopy as part of the building wash.

Yes. Most canopies are cleaned at night or on a weekend so the doors beneath them stay usable during business hours. Where a canopy covers a main entrance, we agree with you which doors and walkways are closed and for how long, and phase the work so there is always a way in.

From a walkthrough or photos, with each canopy as its own line on a written proposal. The price depends on the size and number of canopies, the height and whether a lift is needed, the material, how much buildup there is, and whether the work is at night or on a weekend. Booking it with a building wash, storefronts or sidewalks keeps the crew and equipment on one visit.

Efflorescence is the white, chalky deposit of mineral salts left on brick, block, stone or concrete when water moving through the masonry evaporates at the surface. It is a moisture issue as much as a cleaning one, and it tends to come back while water keeps getting into the wall. We look at it during the walkthrough and tell you plainly what cleaning can and cannot do before you approve anything.

It can, which is why walls are cleaned at low pressure. Aged mortar, soft brick and decorative block can be damaged by an aggressive approach, and the repair costs more than the cleaning saved. Walls get a cleaning solution and a low-pressure wash, while hard concrete curbs can take more pressure. If an area already looks fragile, we point it out before we start.

Yes. Gum on the curbs and walls covered by this service is removed in the same visit, using hot water and gum-removal chemicals. Gum on other areas, such as sidewalks outside the scope, is listed separately in the proposal so you can see exactly what is covered before you approve it.

Most properties clean them with the sidewalks and curbs around them, once or twice a year in metro Atlanta. Walls in shade, next to irrigation or under trees grow algae faster and may need more frequent cleaning. Many property managers wait until pollen season is over, usually late spring, so the result lasts longer.

Soft wash roof cleaning removes algae, mold, mildew, lichen and moss from a roof with a cleaning solution applied at low pressure, instead of a high-pressure stream. Organic growth holds moisture against the roof surface, and removing it helps the roof keep functioning for longer. We keep the pressure low throughout, because high pressure can strip granules from shingles and drive water under seams and flashings.

No. Commercial roofs are cleaned at low pressure with a cleaning solution, not blasted with a high-pressure stream. High pressure can strip granules from shingles and force water under seams and flashings, damaging the roof it is meant to protect. Hard surfaces around the building, such as sidewalks, are a different matter, and the proposal says which method is used where.

There is no flat rate; large commercial roofs are measured and quoted by square footage. The price also depends on roof height and access, the roofing material, how much algae, lichen and moss has built up, water access and whether the work has to happen at night or on a weekend. Gutters or a building wash are listed as separate lines in the written proposal.

When algae, lichen or moss becomes visible, rather than on a fixed calendar. Roof cleaning is a longer-cycle job than sidewalks or entrances, and roofs in shade or under trees need it more often. Many property managers schedule it for late spring, after pollen season, and get it priced in the fall so it is in next year's budget.

Usually, yes. Both are height work with the same access, so one visit avoids a second setup. Gutter cleaning is listed as its own line, so you can approve it separately. If a building wash is planned as well, the roof and gutters go first so nothing runs down a freshly cleaned facade, and window cleaning goes last.

Yes. We clean gutters on office buildings, shopping centers, campuses, warehouses, HOAs and apartment communities across metro Atlanta, clearing leaves, dirt and debris so rainwater flows freely from the roof to the ground. The outside face of the gutters can also be washed. For multi-story buildings we confirm roof and lift access before the job, and any damaged sections we find are reported to you with photos.

There is no flat rate; commercial gutter cleaning is quoted per property. The price depends on the length of gutter, building height and lift access, the number of buildings, how full the gutters are, trees overhanging the roof and whether the work is done at night or on a weekend. Multi-building properties can be priced building by building, with the reason stated when one costs more than another.

They plan access first, then clear the gutters and make sure the water runs. On a commercial building that means confirming height, roof access and lift placement before the visit, removing leaves, dirt and debris from the full gutter run, and making sure the downspouts carry water from the roof to the ground. Damaged or loose sections should be reported, not ignored, so they can be repaired.

It depends on the trees. Buildings with trees close to the roofline fill their gutters fastest and need cleaning more often than open sites. Late fall, after the leaves are down, is the natural time to schedule it, and gutters that overflow in heavy rain are overdue. Gutter cleaning can also be part of a recurring exterior program.

Before. Clearing the gutters first means nothing is flushed down a freshly cleaned facade. When we do both in one project, the order is gutters and roof first, then the building wash, and window cleaning last, because water and soap from the wash leave residue on the glass.

Yes. We clean commercial solar panels across metro Atlanta: rooftop arrays on warehouses and office buildings, carport canopies and ground-mounted arrays. Panels are cleaned with deionized water and soft brushes at low pressure, removing pollen, dust, bird droppings and film from the glass. Array size, mounting, roof access and safety requirements shape the quote, and solar cleaning can be added to a recurring exterior program.

Because it dries without leaving mineral spots. Deionized water has had its dissolved minerals removed, so there is nothing left on the glass when it evaporates. Combined with soft brushes and low pressure, it cleans the panels without harsh detergents or abrasion.

Not with high pressure. A high-pressure stream can damage panel seals and frames, so we clean solar arrays with deionized water and soft brushes at low pressure instead. The goal is to remove the dirt without putting the panels at risk, because the cleaning should never cost more than the output it recovers.

It depends on how fast the array gets dirty. In metro Atlanta, heavy spring pollen is the main reason to clean, so the natural time is after pollen season. Arrays near trees or under bird roosts soil faster and need it more often. If production drops with no other explanation, soiling is worth checking.

Not unless the quote says so. Standard sidewalk and curb cleaning does not include gum removal. It is quoted as its own line, because gum needs special chemicals and hot water under pressure. On some deep cleaning work, where we are already using 200-degree hot water, gum removal is included in the line, and the quote states which applies so there is no surprise on the invoice.

We clean sidewalks, pavers and curbs by applying a degreaser where needed, lifting the dirt with a surface cleaner and rinsing at high pressure, often with hot water. Concrete with years of buildup gets our deep cleaning, with a concrete cleaner and 200-degree hot water, which also covers pathways and stairs. Gum removal is a separate line unless the quote says otherwise, and oil stains and tire marks improve but cannot always be fully removed.

We can clean them and they will improve, but they cannot always be removed completely, and we say so in the quote. Oil and grease need heat and degreaser: hot water, a commercial degreaser and a high-pressure rinse. Older stains that have soaked into the concrete may only lighten. Rust stains are a different problem and are treated with a rust removal service, quoted separately.

Yes, where it helps. Grease, gum and heavy grime need heat, so busy retail sidewalks are often rinsed with hot water under high pressure. For concrete with years of buildup, our deep cleaning uses 200-degree hot water with a concrete cleaner. New concrete is the exception: it is cleaned at lower pressure and without chemicals, because it is still soft.

Confirm the outdoor water spigots work, tell tenants the date and ask them to bring in anything near their doors the evening before. If dumpster pads are included, arrange with your hauler to move the containers. Let us know about parking that needs to be clear, and on mixed-use properties whether noise rules apply. We confirm each of these with you before the date is set.

Yes, with less pressure and no chemicals. Newly poured concrete is still soft, so high pressure or strong cleaners can damage the surface. When a property has new sections of sidewalk, we clean them gently and note it in the scope, and use full pressure and degreaser only on the older concrete around them. Tell us about any recent concrete work when you request the quote.

It depends on the size of the structure and what is included, so every parking garage and lot gets its own written quote instead of a published rate. The main factors are square footage and number of levels, whether ceilings, walls and stairs are included with the pavement, how much oil and grease has built up, water access, and whether the work must be done overnight or in sections. Each area is priced as its own line.

Oil stains will be cleaned and will improve, but they cannot always be fully removed, and the quote says so up front. Oil soaks into concrete, so we treat it with a degreaser and hot water, lift it with a surface cleaner and rinse at high pressure. Older stains are the hardest to shift. Grease and tire marks are handled the same way.

Yes. Parking garage ceilings and walls are soft washed at high volume and low pressure, which removes dirt, cobwebs, grease, mold and mildew without the force that can damage paint and coatings. Afterward we post-treat the cleaned areas with a solution that slows the return of mold and organic growth. Ceilings and walls are quoted as their own line, separate from the pavement, so you can approve them together or on a different schedule.

Yes, in most cases. We clean one section at a time so the rest of the garage stays in use, and most decks are cleaned overnight or on a weekend when they are close to empty. Cars need to be out of each section while it is washed, so we agree the order with you in advance and can provide notice text for your tenants. On mixed-use properties we check local noise rules before choosing a time.

Most commercial properties in metro Atlanta settle on an annual or twice-yearly cleaning, with busy walkways and entrances on a shorter cycle. Shaded decks and lots under trees grow algae and mildew faster in the humid summer, and many managers wait until pollen season is over before cleaning. A recurring quarterly or monthly program keeps a deck from falling far enough behind to need a restoration-level cleaning.

Yes. We pressure wash surface parking lots at shopping centers, office buildings, campuses and apartment communities, along with the sidewalks, curbs and pedestrian walkways that run through them. The method is the same as on a deck: a degreaser where needed, a surface cleaner to lift the dirt evenly and a high-pressure rinse. Oil, grease and tire marks will improve but cannot always be fully removed, and the quote says so.

We use a concrete cleaner or degreaser to loosen stains, a surface cleaner to lift the dirt evenly, and a high-pressure rinse. For concrete with years of buildup we add hot water at 200 degrees Fahrenheit, which softens grease, oil and gum so they lift with the rest of the dirt. New concrete, painted decks and coated surfaces get lower pressure and fewer chemicals, so the method is matched to the surface before we quote.

By removing the dirt, algae, mildew and grime that turn it gray. We apply a concrete cleaner, clean with 200-degree hot water and a surface cleaner, then rinse at high pressure. Some discoloration is not dirt: rust, oil stains and tire marks will improve but cannot always be fully removed, and very old stains may lighten without disappearing. We tell you what to expect before we start.

Deep cleaning adds a concrete cleaner and 200-degree hot water to the standard method, and it covers the pathways, stairs and hard landscaping around a building, not just the sidewalks. A regular sidewalk cleaning uses a degreaser where needed, a surface cleaner and a high-pressure rinse, which is enough for concrete that is cleaned on a schedule. Deep cleaning is for concrete with years of buildup.

It can be, and the quote will say which. At 200 degrees, gum softens and lifts as part of the deep cleaning, so on some jobs it is included in the same line. Where there is a lot of gum, or rust needs its own treatment, we price it as a separate line so you can decide. Oil stains and tire marks are cleaned either way but cannot always be fully removed.

Not when the method is matched to the surface, and we decide that before we quote. New concrete is still soft, so we clean it at lower pressure and without chemicals. Painted and coated surfaces get pressure, chemical and heat limits; on the painted deck of the Nelson Street pedestrian bridge downtown, we stayed at or under 1,000 PSI. Tell us the age of the concrete and any coatings when you ask for a quote.

Yes. We have deep cleaned the sidewalks, pathways and stairs around buildings at Georgia Piedmont Technical College's Clarkston and Covington campuses using 200-degree hot water. Campus work is scheduled around the academic calendar, such as spring break, when there are fewer people on the walkways. We provide a certificate of insurance and a W-9 and complete the vendor setup a public institution requires.

We clean the dumpster pad and enclosure of debris, mold, grease and other surface stains, using hot water and a degreaser to loosen the grease, a surface cleaner to lift it, and a high-pressure rinse. The dumpster should be pulled before the visit for the best result, and we coordinate the timing with you; on some properties that means an early-morning visit right after the hauler has moved the container. Enclosure walls and gates are usually cleaned with the pad, since cleaning one and not the other is obvious. Cleaning does not include the inside of the dumpster itself.

Dumpster pads are priced per pad from the property itself, so we do not publish a flat rate. The number of pads, the size of each, whether the enclosure walls and gates are included, how much grease has built up, whether the dumpsters are moved first, water access and the time of day all move the price. Every pad is listed on the proposal with its quantity, so ownership can see exactly what they are approving.

No. We clean the dumpster pad, the enclosure walls inside and out, and the gates, but not the container itself. That exclusion is written into every quote so nobody is surprised. The pad, walls and gates are where grease, food residue, mold and black streaks build up on the concrete, and those are what a dumpster pad cleaning removes.

It should be, for a complete result. With the container pulled, we can clean the whole pad, including the stained concrete underneath it. We coordinate the timing with you, and on some properties that means an early-morning visit right after the hauler has moved the container. If it cannot be moved, we clean everything we can reach and tell you in writing what we could not.

Dumpster pads are among the areas that degrade fastest on a commercial property, so they are usual candidates for a monthly or quarterly schedule rather than an annual one. Pads that take food waste build up grease fastest, and Atlanta's long, humid summers grow mold quickly on a greasy pad. We can quote a recurring program for one property or a portfolio, with each pad on its own line.

It removes the grease, food residue, mold and debris on the pad and enclosure walls, which is where much of the odor around an enclosure comes from. It cannot fix odor coming from inside the container, which we do not clean. Smell returns as new waste builds up, so a recurring cleaning schedule is what keeps it under control.

Yes. Dumpster pad work is usually done overnight, early in the morning or on a weekend, when the lot is empty, tenants are closed and the hauler can move the containers. We plan the visit around the pickup schedule so the pad is clear when the crew arrives, and we ask tenants to keep the area free of anything that should not get wet.

We clean drive-thru lanes of tire marks, gum, algae, mold, moss and black streaks, using hot water and a degreaser where grease has tracked out from the kitchen. The approach, order point, pickup window and exit all get the same treatment, and the window area is usually the worst because vehicles sit there idling. The work is done after the restaurant closes, so the lane is never out of service during business hours. Not all tire marks come out completely, and we say so before we start.

Tire marks will be cleaned and will improve, but not all of them can be removed, and we say that in the quote. We use hot water, a degreaser and a surface cleaner, then rinse at high pressure. The pickup window area is usually the worst, because cars sit there idling, and older, heavier marks are the hardest to lift.

Only while the work is happening, and we do it after you close. Drive-thru cleaning is scheduled overnight or before opening, so the lane stays in service during business hours. If your lane runs late, tell us the quietest window and we will plan the work around it.

Yes. Bank drive-thru lanes get the same treatment as restaurant lanes: tire marks, gum, algae, mold, moss and black streaks are cleaned from the approach, the teller lanes and the exit. The work is scheduled after the branch closes. Not all tire marks can be removed, and the quote says so before we start.

Busy drive-thru lanes are good candidates for a monthly or quarterly schedule, because they are among the surfaces that visibly degrade fastest on a commercial property. Grease from the kitchen and tire marks from idling cars build up quickly near the pickup window. A recurring program can include the lane, the sidewalks and the dumpster pad, each priced as its own line.

Yes. The drive-thru lane, the sidewalks and curbs around the building and the dumpster pad can be cleaned on the same overnight visit, each listed as its own line on the proposal. That lets the property manager or the tenant approve the areas they are responsible for separately. Tell us which areas belong to whom when you ask for a quote.

No. We clean the area around oil traps and oil tanks: the pad, the enclosure and the surrounding concrete. We do not pump, service, move or clean inside the traps or tanks. For a complete result, the traps and tanks should be removed before the visit so we can reach the whole pad; otherwise we clean around them, and the quote says which applies.

With a commercial degreaser and hot water pressure washing, which break the grease down so it can be lifted and rinsed away. Heavy buildup takes repeated passes. Grease that has soaked into the concrete for a long time may lighten without fully coming out, and we tell you what to expect before we start rather than after.

Yes, and it usually makes sense to. Both areas collect grease and both are cleaned with hot water and a degreaser, so they can be done on the same visit, each priced as its own line. The work is scheduled overnight or early in the morning, around tenant hours and around when the containers and tanks can be moved.

Four things help most: the traps and tanks moved or removed if possible, a working water spigot nearby, a time when the tenant is closed, and any drain or environmental requirements set by ownership. Photos of the area help us scope it accurately. If the traps cannot be moved, we clean around them and note that on the quote.

With a specialty chemical and hot water pressure. The treatment softens the gum, hot water under pressure lifts it off the concrete, and the area is rinsed. When we deep clean with 200-degree water, gum softens and lifts as part of that process. Gum removal is usually done with a sidewalk cleaning, overnight, so walkways are dry before tenants open.

It depends on how much gum there is, how spread out it is and how long it has been there, so we price it from the property rather than publishing a rate. The surface, water access, timing and whether it is done with a sidewalk or deep concrete cleaning also matter. Gum removal is always its own line on the proposal, or noted as included, so you can decide.

Yes. Gum removal at retail centers is usually done overnight with the sidewalk cleaning, typically starting around 11 PM and finishing by 6 AM, so the walk is clean and dry before tenants open. Weekend work is available too. On a busy retail sidewalk, gum removal can take as long as the rest of the cleaning, which we account for in the schedule.

Yes. We remove gum from concrete sidewalks, pavers, curbs, entrances and walkways using the same method: a specialty chemical, hot water pressure and a rinse, with the pressure matched to the surface. Tell us where the gum is concentrated when you ask for a quote. Photos of the worst areas help us price it accurately.

Rust stains on commercial concrete often come from irrigation water, metal fixtures, fertilizer and vehicle drips. Each leaves iron-based staining that sets into the surface, which is why pressure washing alone does not lift it. Knowing the cause matters, because if it is still there, such as irrigation water hitting the same walkway, new stains can form after the old ones are treated.

Not on its own. Rust is a chemistry problem, not a pressure problem, and pushing harder tends to damage the concrete before the stain moves. We use a treatment formulated for rust and oxidation stains: pre-treat, treat, rinse and repeat. A deep concrete cleaning improves rust spots, but they cannot always be fully removed without the dedicated treatment.

They can, if the cause is still there. Irrigation water, a rusting metal fixture or regular fertilizer use will keep staining the same concrete. Fixing the source first, then treating the stains, gives the longest-lasting result. If the source cannot be changed, a recurring treatment can be added to your cleaning schedule as its own line.

It depends on how many stains there are, how large and old they are, what caused them and how many treatment rounds they need, so we price it from the property instead of publishing a rate. The surface and whether it is done with a sidewalk, deep concrete or building cleaning also matter. Rust removal is always quoted as its own line.

Both, chosen by where the glass is and its condition. A purified DI water-fed pole cleans upper-floor glass from the ground and leaves a spot-free finish. Storefronts and entry doors are often cleaned by hand, with a professional-grade detergent applied and then removed with a squeegee. Many properties get both methods on the same visit, and glass beyond the reach of the pole is cleaned from a lift.

It depends on the glass and the property. Entry doors and storefront glass are touched and splashed every day and need the most frequent cleaning, while upper-floor windows mostly collect pollen, dust and bird droppings. Many metro Atlanta properties clean after spring pollen season has passed, and windows should always be cleaned after a building wash. A recurring schedule keeps each visit a maintenance clean rather than a restoration.

It is priced from a count of the glass, so every quote is specific to the building. We count the glass panels, windows and entry doors from street-level imagery and your photos and ask you to confirm the count. Height and access, condition, interior as well as exterior, after-hours timing and how often you want it done also move the number. The proposal lists each item as its own line.

Yes. Window cleaning should come after a building wash or pressure washing, because the soap and rinse water from a wash leave residue on windows and glass doors. We sequence every project that way and quote the windows as their own line, so you can see the cost of each part. At Georgia Piedmont Technical College in Clarkston, the exterior windows were cleaned after the building wash.

Not always. Light water spots come off with normal cleaning, but hard-water staining that has etched into the glass needs restoration, which is a separate service quoted on its own. Windows with broken seals also look cloudy between the panes, and no cleaning on either side will fix that. We point these out so they are not mistaken for missed spots.

Yes. Our water-fed pole system cleans upper-floor glass from the ground, and glass beyond its reach is cleaned from a lift, which we confirm before scheduling. For the upper floors of taller buildings, our drone washing service is another option. Office glass can be cleaned at night or on weekends, and interior glass can be added as its own line when you want both sides done.

It depends on the building. A tethered drone washes upper floors and glass from the ground on buildings up to 80 stories, glass beyond the reach of a pole can be cleaned from a lift, and a purified water-fed pole cleans the lower and middle floors. Many buildings use more than one method. We plan the access after a walkthrough and put it in the written proposal.

Up to 80 stories by drone, so high-rise towers as well as mid-rise offices and hotels. Every building is different, so we confirm the plan for yours after a walkthrough: where the drone or a lift can set up, where water and power are, and what needs protecting below.

It depends on the building and its surroundings. Street-level glass gets dirty fastest, while upper floors mostly collect pollen, dust, bird droppings and water spots. Many Atlanta properties clean after spring pollen season, and windows should always be cleaned after a building wash. A recurring schedule keeps each visit a maintenance clean rather than a restoration.

Yes. We are fully insured and can name your owner or management company on a certificate of insurance, with additional insured and waiver of subrogation endorsements on request. Drone work is covered by drone liability insurance, and our pilot holds an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate.

Yes. Interior window cleaning is the one indoor service we offer, and we provide it for office buildings, usually alongside exterior window cleaning. We clean the inside of windows, glass doors and interior glass panels by hand with a detergent and squeegee for a streak-free finish. The work is done after hours or on weekends, so staff are not working around the crew. We do not offer janitorial cleaning.

All the interior glass panels on the windows and doors in your scope. That usually means the inside of the windows on each floor, glass entry doors and lobby glass, interior glass doors and panels, and stairwell windows. Atrium and skylight glass can be cleaned from the inside as its own line, depending on how it is reached. We confirm the floors and suites in scope before quoting.

Usually, yes, because glass that is clean on one side only still looks dirty. The exterior is cleaned after any building wash, and the interior can be done on the same night or on a separate visit. Each side is its own line in the proposal, so you can see the cost of each and approve one or both.

It depends on how much glass there is and how it is reached, so we quote each building individually. The count of windows, glass doors and panels, the number of floors and suites, tall lobby or atrium glass that needs a ladder or lift, after-hours access and how often you want it done all affect the price. Interior and exterior are listed as separate lines.

Usually because the seal on the window has failed. Double-pane windows with broken seals collect haze between the two panes, inside the sealed unit, and no cleaning on either side can reach it. Hard-water staining that has etched into the outside of the glass is another cause, and that needs restoration rather than cleaning. We point these windows out so they are not mistaken for missed spots.

Yes, as its own line in the proposal. Atrium and skylight glass is quoted inside and outside as separate items, because each side is reached differently. Inside, tall glass may need a ladder or a lift, so we confirm the height and how equipment gets into the space before quoting. The work is scheduled after hours, when the space below is empty.

It is the first full clean of a building's glass after construction or a renovation: removing construction dust, manufacturer labels and protective film from new windows and glass doors before the building opens. We also clean the facade, sidewalks and parking areas, so the outside of the property looks finished.

We clean the exterior of the property and the glass, including interior window glass in office buildings. General interior construction cleanup, such as floors, dust and debris inside the building, is a different trade, so we do not take it on.

After the last trade is off the site and before the owner, tenant or inspection walkthrough. Glass goes last, after any facade or concrete cleaning, so rinse water does not dry on finished windows. We work from the general contractor's schedule and can work at night or on weekends.

Yes. Mud, tire tracks and splatter from construction come off sidewalks, curbs, entrances and parking areas. Freshly poured concrete is still soft, so it is cleaned at lower pressure and without chemicals, which protects the new surface while it cures.

Yes. We clean shopping center pylon signs, monument signs and property signs across metro Atlanta, removing dirt, algae, black streaks and mildew from the faces, panels and base. Signs are cleaned at low pressure with a solution suited to the surface. We have cleaned the street sign at Suwanee Jubilee shopping center and the monument sign at The Atrium office building in Smyrna.

Yes, by keeping the pressure low and the solution suited to the surface. Illuminated panels, vinyl graphics and painted finishes need care rather than force, so we do not blast them. If a panel is cracked, faded or loose before we start, we point it out so it is not mistaken for cleaning damage.

There is no flat rate; sign cleaning is quoted per property. The price depends on the number and size of the signs, height and lift access, materials, how much algae and staining has built up, location near drive lanes, water access and scheduling. Sign cleaning added to a sidewalk or building wash at the same property is listed as its own line in the proposal.

So they reflect properly and stay visible. Dirt, pollen and film dull the reflective face of stop, speed and directional signs, which makes them harder to read, especially at night. We wash the traffic signs on a property as part of a site cleaning, listed as its own line in the proposal.

Yes. We clean courtyard fountains, plaza water features and entrance features at shopping centers, office buildings, campuses and HOA communities across metro Atlanta, removing mold, algae and other surface stains from the fountain and the walls and masonry around it. At Suwanee Jubilee shopping center we cleaned the courtyard fountain and its masonry wall. Each feature is quoted as its own line.

More often than most surfaces on a property. Constant moisture brings algae back faster on a fountain than anywhere else, so fountains suit a recurring monthly or quarterly visit rather than a yearly one. Fountains in shade or under trees need it most. We can quote it as a recurring line alongside your other exterior cleaning.

Because each one is a different job. A large courtyard fountain and a small entrance feature differ in size, build-up, access and how much surrounding masonry is included. Listing each feature as its own line lets you approve them one at a time and see exactly what each one costs.

A few details and some photos. Tell us how many features there are, roughly how large each one is, whether it can be shut off or drained before we arrive, and where water and power are nearby. Photos of anything unusual help. We then confirm the scope at a walkthrough and send a written, itemized proposal.

Yes. We clean dumpster and compactor enclosure walls inside and outside, the gates and, when it is in the scope, the pad itself, removing grease, mold, black streaks and other stains. The dumpster needs to be moved before we arrive if you want behind and underneath it cleaned, so we ask you to coordinate that with your hauler. The inside of the dumpster is not included.

By matching the method to the material. Vinyl and coated metal get a soft wash with the appropriate solution at low pressure, masonry enclosure walls can take a firmer approach, and wood is washed at low pressure so the grain is not raised. Using one method on every fence is how finishes get damaged, so the proposal notes the material for each section.

There is no flat rate; fence cleaning is quoted per property. The price depends on the length and height of fencing, the number of gates and enclosures, the material, how much algae, grease or staining has built up, access along the fence line, water access and scheduling. Fencing added to a dumpster pad or building wash at the same property is listed as its own line.

Dumpster enclosures need it most often, because grease, food residue and mildew on the walls and gates draw pests and cause odors. Perimeter and amenity fencing can usually be cleaned whenever the rest of the property is washed, typically once or twice a year in metro Atlanta. Pool fencing is best done before the pool opens for the season.

Usually algae and mildew. They grow in the texture of concrete, pavers and coping, and around a pool the surface is wet most of the time, which makes that growth slippery underfoot. Cleaning removes the growth that causes it. Shaded areas and spots where water collects grow back fastest, so they are worth watching between cleanings.

No. Sealing pavers will not prevent mildew or moss. It limits the amount of moisture held in the pavers and joints, which slows the growth down. Paver sealing means applying polymeric sand to the joints and then a sealer, after the deck has been cleaned. It helps, but it does not replace regular cleaning.

Not with high pressure. Coated decks are cleaned at low pressure with a solution suited to the coating, because the wrong pressure strips it. Textured concrete, travertine and pavers each get their own approach too. If a coating is already peeling or worn before we start, we point it out so it is not mistaken for cleaning damage.

Before the pool opens for the season, once pollen season is over, so the deck starts the summer clean. During the season we work outside pool hours, early, late or on weekends, so the amenity is open and dry for residents. Decks in heavy shade grow algae back faster and may need more than one cleaning a year.

Yes. Cushions and upholstery need to come off outdoor furniture before we arrive, so cleaning solutions do not stain them. The furniture frames can be cleaned of pollen, dust and grime as part of the job if they are in the scope. Let us know whether the furniture should be moved off the deck or cleaned in place.

It depends on the area. Sidewalks, entrances, dumpster pads and drive-thru lanes take the most traffic and usually need the shortest cycle, while building washes, roofs and windows can run longer. Foot traffic, restaurant tenants, trees, pollen and the appearance standard in your leases or HOA rules set the interval. In metro Atlanta, many properties plan spring cleaning for after pollen season.

Yes. We agree the scope once, in writing, and return on a set cycle: monthly, quarterly or a schedule you choose, with different cycles for different areas if needed. Each service is priced as its own line, so you can start with the areas that matter most and add more later. Programs can cover one property or a portfolio across several counties, and we contact you when the next cleaning is due.

Any exterior service we offer can go on a program. The usual core is sidewalks and curbs, dumpster pads, storefronts and awnings, with exterior windows, building washes, roofs and gutters on a longer cycle. Each property gets a written scope with every service as its own line, a set frequency, before-and-after photos with the invoice, and a reminder from us when the next visit is due.

Usually, per visit. We can offer better pricing for a committed recurring schedule than for a one-off cleaning. The first visit is often the biggest job, because it removes the buildup of years; the visits after it are maintenance. If you are comparing options, ask and we will quote both one-off and recurring cleaning in the same proposal.

Yes. Each property is quoted separately, so it can go to its own owner or board for approval, and nearby sites are scheduled on the same run. You have one contact for the whole portfolio, and larger programs can have a dedicated project manager who coordinates dates, property access and progress with you. Photos from each visit are used to confirm the scope of the next.

In the fall. Most property budgets are set at the end of the year, so October through December is the time to have next year's cleaning priced and itemized, ready to drop into the budget. Spring work in metro Atlanta is usually scheduled for after pollen season, so a program agreed in the fall can start once the pollen has passed.
