Exteriors
Exterior Facility Cleaning & Pressure Washing
The outside of a facility is the first thing customers, auditors and prospective tenants see. Dock aprons and drive lanes are also a safety surface.
Tell us about the facility, its current condition and the work that needs to be completed.
Overview
What this service is
We pressure wash building exteriors and hard surfaces with attention to runoff and site rules.
Scope
What may be included
Building exteriors
Metal panel, tilt-wall, masonry and painted surfaces.
Dock aprons
Rubber, oil and traffic staining at the dock face.
Drive lanes and pads
Concrete traffic areas and equipment pads.
Walkways and entries
Sidewalks, entry aprons and stair towers.
Canopies and awnings
Overhead exterior structures.
Dumpster and staging areas
Corral pads and outdoor staging surfaces.
Planning
How it gets scoped
Water source, runoff direction and drain restrictions are confirmed before scheduling.
Surface type determines pressure and chemistry so finishes are not damaged.
Overview
The exterior is a first impression and a safety surface
Exterior work splits into two purposes. Building faces, entries and canopies are about how the property presents to customers, auditors and prospective tenants. Dock aprons, drive lanes and walkways are about traction, drainage and what a slip looks like in an incident report.
Most exterior scopes are priced as separate areas so a property can take the whole envelope or just the dock face.
Areas
Areas typically included
Building faces
Metal panel, tilt-wall, masonry and painted exterior, cleaned at pressures the surface tolerates.
Dock aprons
Rubber, oil and traffic staining at the dock face — often paired with industrial floor cleaning inside.
Drive lanes and pads
Truck courts, equipment pads and yard concrete.
Walkways and entries
Sidewalks, stair towers, ramps and entry aprons.
Canopies and soffits
Overhead exterior structures and undersides.
Corral and staging areas
Dumpster pads and outdoor staging surfaces.
Conditions
What gets confirmed before scheduling
- Water source and volume available on site.
- Runoff direction, storm drain locations and any site discharge restrictions.
- Surface type and age, which set pressure and chemistry limits.
- Truck and traffic schedule, since aprons have to be released in sections.
- Weather window, because wash results and drying both depend on it.
- Protection for signage, lighting, seals and landscaping.
Timing
When exterior work pays off most
The most common triggers are a property going to market, a tenant handover, an upcoming audit or customer visit, and closeout after a build. On new construction it is normally the last scope before the owner walk — see post-construction cleaning for how that sequences.
Access requirements are evaluated during project planning, including lifts for upper building faces where the height calls for it.
