Pressure washing

Your building makes its first impression before the front door.

Gum on the entrance pavers, algae on the plaza, oil staining in the garage — exterior condition speaks before anyone reads the signage. AMR US Commercial Cleaning runs scheduled pressure washing programs that keep entrances, facades, and hardscapes at the same standard as the interiors behind them.

Who this is for

Properties judged from the curb inward.

Exterior surfaces degrade gradually enough that occupants stop noticing — visitors, tenants, and inspectors never do.

01 Corporate campuses and HQs

Entrances, plazas, and walkways where every employee and client arrival crosses the same surfaces.

02 Property portfolios

Facades, parking structures, sidewalks, and curbs maintained to one exterior standard across buildings.

03 Hotels, venues, and cultural institutions

Arrival experiences where hardscape condition is part of the property’s promise.

04 Restaurant groups and food service

Patios, sidewalks, loading areas, and dumpster pads where grease and sanitation risk accumulate fastest.

The common problem

Exterior grime is a safety and asset issue, not just a cosmetic one.

Algae and grease films make walking surfaces slip hazards. Embedded contaminants degrade concrete, masonry, and coatings over time. And dumpster pads left unwashed become a sanitation exposure. Scheduled exterior cleaning addresses all three before they become incidents.

01 Algae, grease, and oil films create documented slip-and-fall exposure.
02 Embedded grime degrades concrete and masonry ahead of schedule.
03 Gum, stains, and graffiti at the entrance undercut everything inside.

Surface-matched methods Pressure, chemistry, and technique are matched to each material — concrete, brick, stone, metal, and siding are not the same job.

What the program covers

Every exterior surface a visitor or inspector crosses.

Entrances and plazas

Walkways, entry pavers, sidewalks, and curbs — gum, stains, and grime removed where first impressions form.

Building facades

Brick, block, metal, stone, and siding cleaned with material-appropriate methods, including multi-story capability and graffiti removal.

Parking structures and garages

Decks, ramps, and stairwells — tire marks, oil staining, and grime removed on a scheduled cycle.

Loading docks and service areas

Grease, spills, and buildup cleared from the working zones that take the heaviest abuse.

Dumpster pads and enclosures

Scheduled washdowns that control odor, pests, and sanitation risk at the property’s most neglected corner.

Exterior structures and fleet

Wood, composite, and vinyl structures, plus fleet and heavy equipment degreasing where operations require it.

How the program is built

Materials first, then pressure, then the schedule.

Effective exterior cleaning is a materials question before it is an equipment question. The walkthrough documents surfaces, staining sources, and drainage so the method fits the property.

01 Survey the exterior

Walk entrances, facades, hardscapes, parking areas, and pads — documenting materials and problem staining.

02 Match method to material

Set pressure levels, chemistry, and water-control requirements per surface so cleaning never becomes damage.

03 Schedule the cycle

Document frequencies by zone — monthly pads, quarterly entrances, annual facades — around building operations.

Exterior cycles

Exterior condition is a cycle, not a one-time correction.

High-frequency zones For entrances and pads

Entry surfaces and dumpster pads on short cycles, where soil load and sanitation risk build fastest.

Quarterly coverage For plazas and walkways

Scheduled passes that keep hardscapes even in appearance instead of patchworked by complaint.

Annual programs For facades and structures

Building exteriors and parking structures reset on a documented annual or semi-annual cycle.

Seasonal response For weather-driven buildup

Algae and mildew treatment timed to the wet seasons that drive growth on shaded surfaces.

Pressure washing FAQ

What facility directors ask before the proposal

Which exterior surfaces and materials can be pressure washed safely?

Concrete walks, curbs, and parking structures; brick, block, metal, stone, and siding facades; and wood, composite, and vinyl structures. Pressure and method are matched to the material, so mold, algae, and staining come off without damaging the surface underneath.

Can exterior washing be scheduled without disrupting tenants or visitors?

Yes. Work is scheduled overnight, on weekends, or in phased sections so entrances, plazas, and parking areas stay usable. Water control and access coordination are documented with building management before work begins.

How does scheduled exterior cleaning reduce slip-and-fall and sanitation risk?

Algae, grease, and oil films on walking surfaces are documented slip hazards, and dumpster pads are a sanitation and pest exposure. A recurring exterior cycle removes both on schedule, creating a maintenance record rather than waiting for an incident.

Can pressure washing cover multiple properties under one program?

Yes. Portfolio programs set one exterior standard — entrances, plazas, parking structures, and pads — with cycles per property and consolidated reporting, alongside the interior scope if we already service the buildings.
