FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL QUESTIONS
How often should I have my property washed?

What is included in your Annual Membership Program?
Our annual membership program provides you with an effortless solution to protect your home year after year. This way you can focus on other things while we keep your home or commercial property's exterior beautifully clean.
How long does it take for you to clean my property's exterior?
Each job is unique so the time it takes to complete is dependent on many factors, such as the size of the surfaces being cleaned and the amount of buildup. If we see that it will take more than one visit we will notify you to make you aware. Rest assured, our technicians will work on your property until they deliver the best results possible.
How much does your pressure washing, softwashing, and exterior cleaning services cost?
Our services are priced based on several factors, such as square footage, linear footage, the scope of service, and job materials being used. Our free quotes provide detail of everything that is included in an itemized way so you can pick and choose what you want cleaned and know the price of each item upfront.
How do you give quotes without visiting the property?
We ask a few questions and measure your property using state-of-the-art satellite measuring technology. This gives us precise square footage and linear footage so that we can provide the most accurate quote possible. On properties where this won't work, we schedule a time to visit the property in person for quoting.
