Commercial pressure washing

Curb appeal, restored.

Hot-water, commercial-grade pressure washing for every hard surface on your property — buildings, breezeways, sidewalks, parking decks, and dumpster pads. We lift years of grime and leave a documented before-and-after.

Why it matters

A dirty property costs more than cleaning it.

Exterior grime is the one maintenance item every prospect, every resident, and every owner can see from the parking lot — and the only one that gets worse and more expensive the longer it waits.

Tours are decided in the parking lot

Prospects form a price expectation before your leasing agent says a word. Black-streaked siding and a stained breezeway tell them what the property is worth, and no amount of interior upgrade undoes that first thirty seconds.

Residents notice, and they tell you at renewal

Breezeways, stairwells and dumpster pads generate more complaints than almost any other common area. The cost of ignoring them doesn't show up as a work order — it shows up as turnover.

Neglect turns into capital expense

Algae, mildew and organic growth hold moisture against the surface they're sitting on. On siding, concrete and decking that shortens service life and pulls forward replacement. Washing on a schedule is asset protection, not cosmetics — and it's far easier to defend in a budget conversation.

What we wash

Every commercial surface, handled.

Building Exteriors

Brick, stucco, EIFS, and siding washed safely — soft-wash where it's needed, pressure where it's earned.

Breezeways & Entries

The first thing residents and prospects see, reset to clean — per-breezeway, on a schedule, or both.

Sidewalks & Concrete

Gum, stains, and ground-in dirt lifted from walkways, entries, and common areas.

Parking Decks & Garages

Oil, rubber, and grime cut from decks, ramps, and stairwells most vendors avoid.

Dumpster Pads & Compactors

Degreased, sanitized, and deodorized — the high-complaint areas, made right.

Drive-thrus & Lots

Retail and QSR surfaces kept presentable and slip-safe for customers and inspectors.

Done right

Pressure is the easy part. Knowing when not to use it is the job.

Anyone can rent a machine and point it at a building. The damage shows up later — and it lands on your budget, not theirs.

Soft wash — siding, stucco, EIFS, painted surfaces

Low pressure, correct detergent, proper dwell time. The chemistry does the work and the surface is never loaded. High pressure on siding drives water behind the envelope, and on EIFS or stucco it removes finish permanently. This is where most cheap bids create expensive problems.

Hot-water pressure — concrete, decks, dumpster pads

Heat is what separates commercial work from residential. Cold water pushes grease and oil around; hot water emulsifies it and lifts it out of the pores. On a dumpster pad or a parking deck, that's the difference between a surface that looks washed and one that stops smelling.

Surface-appropriate pressure, every time

Aged concrete etches. Wood furs. Painted rails strip. We set pressure, tip, distance and temperature per surface rather than running one setting across the whole property, because the fastest way to wash a building is also the fastest way to damage it.

Containment and runoff handled

Commercial work generates wash water that has to go somewhere. We manage flow and containment as part of the job, so a clean breezeway doesn't become a complaint about the storm drain or a slick walkway during business hours.

What drives the number

How commercial pressure washing is priced.

No two properties price the same, but the inputs are always the same five. Knowing them means you can read any bid you're handed — including ours.

Measured surface

Flatwork — sidewalks, pads, decks, lots — is priced by square footage. Structures are priced by elevation and story count, because reach and setup drive the hours more than the area does.

Unit counts

Breezeways, stairwells and entries are priced per unit. It's the cleanest way to scope a multi-building community and the easiest line for ownership to sanity-check.

Soil load

The first wash after years of neglect is not the same job as maintaining a surface that was done last season. Heavy organic growth, ground-in oil and gum all add labor — and all get cheaper once the property is on a cycle.

Access and logistics

Water source, power, working height, occupied-hours restrictions, traffic control and after-hours scheduling all move the number. We scope these on the walkthrough so they never arrive later as a change order.

Route density

Recurring clients are priced on route. When your property sits inside a scheduled run — or you hand us several in the same portfolio — the mobilization cost is shared and the per-visit price drops accordingly.

One-time vs. scheduled

A single wash carries the full mobilization cost on one invoice. A program spreads it, keeps the property from ever reaching heavy soil load again, and turns an unpredictable line item into a fixed one.

We quote after walking the property, not before. Bidding a building we haven't seen is exactly how vendors end up writing change orders — and how you end up explaining one to ownership. You get an itemized scope, and the number on it is the number.

The difference

Most vendors wash. Then you're on your own.

They send an invoice. We send the evidence.

Before-and-after photos on every surface we touch, delivered with the job. Close the work order, bill it clean, and put it in front of ownership without anyone having to take your word for it. This is standard on every job, not an upsell.

They make compliance your problem. We show up already cleared.

Certificate of insurance on request, made out to your ownership entity. W-9 on file. Vendor onboarding completed before the first visit. If your management company runs a compliance packet, we've filled one out before — you shouldn't be chasing a contractor for paperwork you're required to have on file before work starts.

They handle one surface. We handle the property.

Pressure washing, junk and bulk removal, unit trash-outs, dumpster pads, gutters, fire watch — one insured crew, one point of contact, one invoice. Fewer vendors to chase is worth more than a slightly cheaper bid from a fourth one.

They go quiet. We follow up.

Quotes come back in about 24 hours. Scheduled work shows up when we said it would. If something changes, you hear it from us first — not from a resident.

Before you call

The questions property managers actually ask.

Not when the method matches the surface. Siding, stucco, EIFS and painted surfaces are soft-washed at low pressure with detergent doing the work. High pressure and heat are reserved for concrete, decks and pads that can take it. Damage in this trade almost always comes from one setting being used across an entire property.

We arrive with our own hot-water equipment and tanks. If a spigot is available we'll use it and note it on the scope; if not, we work off our own supply. Either way it gets confirmed at the walkthrough so nothing stalls on the day.

We schedule around the property's rhythm — building by building, breezeway by breezeway — so access is never cut off across the whole community at once. Notices, staging and timing are agreed before we start, and we can work after hours or in phases when occupancy demands it.

Yes. A&M Commercial Services is fully insured and a certificate of insurance is available on request, made out to your ownership entity if that's what your compliance packet requires.

Walkthroughs are usually booked within a couple of days and quotes come back in about 24 hours. Scheduling depends on season — spring and early summer are the busiest window in metro Atlanta, so properties that book ahead of pollen season get the dates they want rather than the dates that are left.

If the property hasn't been washed in years, start with a one-time reset so we can see what's actually underneath. After that, a schedule is almost always the cheaper path — maintained surfaces take less labor per visit, recurring work is priced on route, and the property never drops back to the state that made the first wash expensive.
