Municipal Building Washing

What This Service Involves

Public building facades accumulate mildew, algae, and pollution that dull appearance and can degrade surfaces over time in our damp climate. Our crews apply low-pressure soft washing and appropriate cleaning solutions matched to each substrate, from masonry and metal panel to painted siding. Methods protect windows, seals, and finishes while removing organic growth at the source rather than just rinsing it off. Wash water is contained and handled to satisfy stormwater discharge requirements throughout the work.

Benefits

Soft-wash methods clean without damaging facades or seals; substrate-matched solutions remove mildew and algae at the root; improved appearance extends the life of exterior finishes; contained wash water meets stormwater compliance; scheduled washing prevents heavy buildup and costly restoration

Our Process

1) We evaluate substrates and select appropriate cleaning methods; 2) Crews protect windows, landscaping, and adjacent surfaces; 3) Facades are soft washed and treated for organic growth; 4) We contain wash water and document the completed facility

What Affects the Cost

Building size, height, and access equipment; substrate types and cleaning solutions required; severity of mildew and algae growth; wash-water containment and discharge handling; prevailing-wage labor for the facility

Best Time of Year

Building washing is best performed in the drier months from late spring through early fall, when surfaces dry and treatments work most effectively.
