Parking garage cleaning and parking lot pressure washing for property managers, HOA boards and facility managers across metro Atlanta. We clean parking decks, garages and surface lots at office buildings, shopping centers, apartment and condo communities and college campuses: the pavement on every level, the ceilings and walls, and the walkways, stairs and curbs people use to reach their cars.
Oil drips, tire marks and grime build up in a deck between cleanings, and shaded areas grow algae and mildew through Atlanta’s humid summers. We cleaned the parking deck at Georgia Piedmont Technical College’s Clarkston campus along with buildings, stairs and railings on the same campus.
What we clean
We clean every surface of a parking structure or lot, from the pavement to the ceiling. Each area can be its own line on the proposal, so you can approve the pavement now and the ceilings later.
- Deck and garage pavement: drive aisles, ramps and parking stalls
- Ceilings and walls: dirt, cobwebs, grease, mold and mildew
- Surface parking lots at shopping centers, office buildings and campuses
- Pedestrian walkways, sidewalks and curbs in and around the parking areas
- Stairs and landings that serve the deck
- Oil, grease, tire marks and bird droppings (oil, grease and tire marks improve but cannot always be fully removed)
- Gum on walkways, quoted as its own line
How we do it
Pavement is pressure washed and ceilings and walls are soft washed. Concrete pavement can take pressure; painted and coated ceilings and walls need high volume at low pressure instead.
- Pavement: a degreaser loosens oil and grease, a surface cleaner lifts the dirt evenly, and the surface is rinsed at high pressure. Heavy oil and grease get hot water as well.
- Ceilings and walls: soft washed at high volume and low pressure, then post-treated with a solution that slows the return of mold and organic growth.
- Runoff: we plan where the water goes before the crew arrives, and divert and pump standing water so the deck is not left with large puddles. Storm drain requirements from ownership go into the written scope.
- Traffic: we clean one section at a time so the rest of the deck stays open, and agree the order with you so cars are moved out of each section first.
- Water supply: we confirm working spigots before the visit. Where there is no usable water, we bring it in tanks or arrange a fire hydrant meter, listed as its own line.
New concrete is the exception. A freshly poured deck or lot is still soft, so it is cleaned at lower pressure and without chemicals.
When to schedule parking garage cleaning
Most parking decks are cleaned overnight or on a weekend, when they are close to empty. At retail properties the crew typically starts around 11 PM and finishes by 6 AM, before tenants open.
Many Atlanta property managers wait until pollen season is over, usually late spring, because pollen settles straight back onto clean concrete. Shaded levels and lots under trees grow algae and mildew in the humid summer, so a second cleaning later in the year is worth considering. Busy decks can go on a quarterly or monthly program.
Pressure washing equipment is loud. On mixed-use properties with apartments above or beside the deck, we check noise rules with you before we commit to an overnight time. If you budget annually, ask for pricing between October and December so the line item is ready for next year.
What affects the quote
Every garage and lot is priced from its own scope, so we don’t publish rates. These are the things that move the number:
- Square footage and the number of levels
- Which surfaces are included: pavement only, or ceilings, walls, stairs and walkways too
- How much oil, grease and buildup there is, and how long since the last cleaning
- Water access: working spigots, or tanks or a hydrant meter
- How much of the deck can be closed at once, and whether work must be overnight or on a weekend
- Runoff control, if water has to be diverted or pumped
- Add-ons such as gum removal, each quoted as its own line
- A one-time cleaning or a recurring program
Why property managers hire us
Because the insurance, the scheduling and the scope are settled in writing before the crew arrives. What you get:
- Fully insured, with certificates of insurance naming your owner or management company, and additional insured or waiver of subrogation endorsements on request
- Licensed, and a member of the Power Washers of North America (PWNA)
- A walkthrough, then a written, itemized proposal you can forward to ownership or the board
- Night and weekend work as a normal part of scheduling
- Before-and-after photos with the invoice
- Backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee
Why it matters
Safety
Oil, grease, algae and mildew make deck ramps, stairs and walkways slick when wet. We remove them in closed-off sections, away from moving traffic.
Appearance
The parking deck is often the first and last part of a property a tenant or visitor sees. Clean pavement, walls and ceilings make the whole structure look maintained.
Longevity
Oil and grime are easier to remove before they soak into the concrete, so regular cleaning keeps stains from setting. Ceilings and walls are post-treated to slow the return of mold and organic growth.
Health
Mold, mildew and bird droppings collect on deck ceilings, walls and stair landings. Soft washing removes them, and the post-treatment slows their return.

Questions about parking garage & parking lot pressure washing
How much does it cost to pressure wash a parking garage or parking lot?
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.
Can you remove oil stains from a parking deck or parking lot?
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.
Do you clean parking garage ceilings and walls?
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.
Can a parking garage stay open while it is power washed?
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.
How often should a parking garage be pressure washed?
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.
Do you pressure wash surface parking lots as well as garages?
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.
