Building Washing
in Washington County, PA
Clear Dirt, Algae,
and Mildew From Washington County Buildings
Dirt, algae, and mildew settle into a building’s exterior walls and keep spreading. Across Washington County, that growth on siding, roofs, and concrete is the main reason a property ends up needing a cleaning. At Pro Kleen Industries, we wash commercial buildings with the same methods we use on homes, at a larger scale. When your walls are starting to show it, call us at (724) 344-2534.
The Types of
Buildings We Clean
We build the cleaning program around your property, and the kind of building you manage sets the plan. Here is what we handle most often.
Campuses
A campus usually means several buildings on one property, often with a facility manager overseeing all of it. We scope anything from a single-building wash to a multi-day program that covers the whole site.
Warehouses
Warehouses carry a lot of exterior wall area, and that is what we clean here: the outside of the building. Facility managers are our usual point of contact, and the scope is set to the wall space that needs washing.
Apartment Complexes
Apartment work is done during the day so residents and traffic are least affected. Your property manager is our single point of contact throughout, which keeps the job organized across a lot of units.
Townhome Communities
For townhome communities, the property manager or the HOA board is who we work with. We plan access around the units and the shared areas so the crew can reach every wall.
HOA Communities
With an HOA, we start by walking the community with the president or the board. We set priorities together, whether that is the buildings, the roofs, the concrete, or some mix, and plan the work from there.
One Program for
the Whole Property
One walk-around and one written scope can cover more than just the building walls. Alongside the building wash, we can take on whichever areas you want to prioritize. Commercial roof cleaning involves a low-pressure soft wash, with TPO and white vinyl membrane roofs rinsed and neutralized. Our gutter cleaning process uses plain water to flush gutters and downspouts without chemicals. Sidewalks receive commercial concrete cleaning, while parking lot and garage cleaning for blacktop lots uses a street sweeper rather than a pressure washer. Exterior window cleaning is handled with a water-fed pole and purified water, covering outside glass only.
Why Property Managers Choose Us
for Building Washing
Property managers and HOA boards have plenty of vendors to pick from. Here is what sets our building washing apart.
Insurance Coverage Property Managers Ask For
We carry $2 million in general liability, $2 million in commercial auto, and $2 million in workers’ compensation coverage, double what many contractors carry, and we provide a certificate of insurance on request. We raised our coverage to that level because a property management company asked for it.
Your Deadlines Met and Your Property Manager Kept Informed
You get a written scope before any work starts. We meet the timelines and deadlines we set, and we stay in contact with your property manager from start to finish. You deal with us directly the whole way, not a separate project team you have to chase.
Lifts Tied Off to OSHA Standards
Upper floors and multi-story buildings are reached from lifts and ladders. Every lift job is tied off to OSHA standards, so the height of your building is a scheduling detail, not a reason the work gets skipped.
Wash Water Kept Where It Belongs
On a lot of commercial sites, wash water is not allowed to leave the property. We run water reclamation where drainage has to be contained. That means blocking storm drains, vacuuming the water up, and hauling it off site when the property requires it.
Equipment Built and Kept Up in Our Own Shop
Our owner is an electrical engineer by trade who spent more than a decade leading large-scale industrial projects in power plants, steel mills, and mines. He built pressure washing equipment before he ever started washing. Every rig we bring to your Washington County property was built and is maintained in our own shop, so we show up with dependable, well-kept equipment and the know-how to use it right. On a multi-day job across several buildings, that is the difference between staying on schedule and waiting on a broken machine.

Washing Walk-Around Today
How a Building Washing Job Goes,
First Walk-Around to Last
Every building washing job runs the same way, from the first visit to the final sign-off.
The On-Site Walk-Around and Written Scope
It starts with a free estimate, always on site, never a number over the phone. We walk the property with your property manager, HOA president, or facility manager and talk through priorities and budget. We also point out anything we see that would make the property look better or safer, even beyond what you asked about. You get a written scope and estimate the same day or the next. Commercial estimates are always written, never verbal.
Scheduling and Tenant Notice
We set dates around your deadlines. Your property manager lets tenants know to clear their patios and porches. That requirement goes in writing on the estimate or work order, so there is no confusion on the day.
Setup and Protecting the Landscaping
On arrival, the crew cones off the work area. Before any cleaning solution goes on, we water down the plants and landscaping so they are protected through the wash.
Washing the Buildings, Matched to the Siding
We use the same methods as our house washing, scaled up to the building. Vinyl and stucco get a low-pressure soft wash, with a stronger solution on stucco. Brick gets the higher-pressure wash it can safely take. EIFS and Dryvit surfaces get cleaned as well. Upper floors are reached from lifts and ladders, and then the whole surface gets rinsed.
Staying in Touch on Longer Jobs
On a multi-day job with lifts on site, we keep your property manager updated throughout, so you always know where the work stands.
The Closing Walk-Around and Invoice
When the work is done, we walk the property with your on-site contact to go over the finished job. The invoice goes out after that walk-around, once you are satisfied with what we did.
Maintenance Plans That Rotate Building Washing, Roofs,
and Concrete
A maintenance plan lets us build the cleaning around your property and your budget over time. When the budget will not cover everything in one year, we clean what needs it most first and rotate the rest on a schedule. That also brings the per-visit pricing down compared to one-off calls.
We plan your property’s cleaning around your budget, rotating concrete, building washing, and roofs on the schedule each one actually needs. In practice, that is concrete every year, building washing every one to three years, and roofs every three to five years.
Our Walk-Around Promise
on Every Building Washing Job
On a commercial job, the final walk-around is done with your property manager or on-site contact, and it covers anything the crew missed or caused. Before we leave, we walk the property with you to make sure everything meets your standards. If we missed something, we come back and make it right at no charge.

Building Washing FAQs
How much does building washing cost?
It is a tailored quote built around your property, priorities, and budget. We price every job on site, after the walk-around, rather than over the phone. The estimate is itemized, so each service is priced separately, and you choose what goes into the program.
How long does a building washing project take?
It depends on the scope of the work. A single-building wash can be a short job, while a multi-building, multi-service program can run several days. We set the timeline in the written scope so you know what to expect before we start.
Can you invoice us on Net 30 terms?
Yes. Commercial accounts are invoiced on Net 30 terms. For large multi-location contracts, we offer Net 45.
