Customers decide a lot about a business before they walk in the door. Gum-spotted sidewalks, a grimy entryway or a stained building front send the wrong message. For property managers, dirty buildings and walkways mean complaints from tenants and HOA members.
Commercial pressure washing and soft washing are available for businesses and multi-unit properties in Statesville and the surrounding area.
Commercial surfaces that get cleaned
Storefronts and building exteriors
Brick, block, stucco, vinyl, metal panels and painted surfaces. Just like on homes, delicate surfaces get a low-pressure soft wash with a mild bleach-based solution, and hard surfaces get pressure washed. Signs, awnings and window frames are cleaned with care.
Sidewalks and entryways
Front walks and entrances take the most foot traffic and show dirt, gum, spills and red clay first. The crew cleans concrete with a rotary surface cleaner for an even finish and can treat gum and other stuck-on spots.
Drive-thru lanes
Drive-thru lanes collect oil, fluid drips, food spills and tire marks. The technician pre-treats with degreaser and cleans the lane, curbs and the area around the window.
Dumpster pads
Dumpster areas get greasy, smelly and attract pests. The crew cleans the pad and the surrounding enclosure with degreaser, then rinses. Regular cleaning keeps odors and buildup under control.
Apartment and HOA buildings
Apartment buildings, townhome communities and HOA common areas: siding, breezeways, stairwells, walkways, pool decks, amenity areas, mailbox areas and entry signs. The contractor can work building by building and coordinate with management on notices to residents.
Fleet or vehicle washing isn't offered.
After-hours and off-peak scheduling
You can't shut down to have the sidewalk cleaned. The company can schedule work early in the morning, in the evening or on days you're closed, depending on the job. For drive-thru lanes and entryways, after-hours work is usually the best option. For apartment communities, the work can be planned in sections to limit disruption.
Recurring service
Many businesses do better on a schedule than with one-time cleanings. Common setups include:
- Monthly or quarterly sidewalk and entryway cleaning for restaurants and retail.
- Monthly dumpster pad cleaning for restaurants and food service.
- Annual or twice-yearly building washes, often in late spring after pine pollen season.
- Seasonal cleanings for apartment and HOA common areas.
A recurring schedule keeps your property consistently clean, and it's usually easier to budget for than surprise cleanings.
What's needed to quote a commercial job
To give you an accurate price, it helps to know:
- The address and type of property.
- What you want cleaned and roughly how much of it (square footage, number of buildings, length of sidewalk).
- Whether you want a one-time cleaning or recurring service.
- Any timing restrictions, like business hours or quiet hours.
- Whether there's an accessible water source on site.
Photos help, and for most commercial jobs the contractor will want to see the property in person. Call (980) 223-3324 or request a quote to get started.
Statesville conditions that affect commercial properties
Downtown and roadside properties near I-40 and I-77 deal with road grime and heavy traffic. Buildings with shaded walls grow algae and mildew in the humid summers. Spring pollen coats everything, and red clay gets tracked onto entryways by every customer after a rain. These are the same problems homes face, just at a larger scale and with more foot traffic.

The same methods used on commercial jobs apply to residential work. See driveway and concrete cleaning for details on surface cleaning and stain treatment, and house washing for how soft washing protects siding and painted surfaces. Many commercial roofs and building gutters need attention too, and gutter cleaning covers that. To see what sets the price on a cleaning job, read the pressure washing cost guide. Commercial work is always quoted per job.
