Pressure Washing for Shopping Centers

Usually the storefront sidewalks and curbs, the storefronts and upper coping, awnings and canopies, dumpster pads and enclosures, pylon signs and the exterior glass, with gum removal and parking areas where they are needed. Each building and each service is its own line on the proposal, so the landlord can approve the center in stages, starting with the most visible areas.

Yes. Most of our retail work is done overnight, typically starting around 11 PM and finishing by 6 AM, or early in the morning, so the walkways are dry and the fronts are clean before the first store opens. We ask you to let tenants know the date so they can bring in anything near their doors, and 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, the proposal names that exclusion tenant by tenant, so the landlord approves exactly the parts of the center it is responsible for and there is no question later about what was included.

Yes. Washing the coping, facade and awnings rinses soap and water down over the glass, so we work from the top down and recommend exterior window cleaning after any building or awning wash. It goes on the same proposal as an optional line. At a shopping center in Jonesboro the storefront glass was cleaned two days after the awnings, once they had drained.

Yes. Gum needs special chemicals and hot water under pressure, so it is quoted as its own line rather than assumed in sidewalk cleaning. On deep cleaning work, where we already use 200-degree water, gum removal can be included in the line, and the proposal states which applies.

Yes. The pad is cleaned with hot water and a degreaser, and the enclosure walls and gates are usually cleaned with it, since cleaning one and not the other is obvious. The dumpster should be pulled before the visit, so we coordinate the timing with you. At a shopping center in Suwanee we cleaned all four dumpster pads and their enclosures.

Not usually. We measure the center from satellite and street-level imagery and any photos you send, count the storefronts, awnings, glass and dumpster pads, and send the counts back so you can confirm nothing is missing. When something cannot be seen from imagery, such as a rear service area, we ask for a photo before we price it.

Yes. Our certificate of insurance and W-9 go out with every proposal. If your contract needs the owner or management company named as certificate holder or additional insured, or a waiver of subrogation endorsement, our insurance broker issues a certificate that says so.

Yes. The scope is agreed once, in writing, and we return on a set cycle, with a different cycle for each area: entrance sidewalks and dumpster pads get dirty fastest, while building washes and windows run on a longer cycle. At a shopping center in Stone Mountain we cleaned the front sidewalks on a roughly quarterly schedule. A committed schedule is priced better per visit than one-off cleaning.
