Who We Serve
Apartments, HOAs, Storefronts & Lots
APARTMENT & MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITIES
Every service we offer, on one schedule: building washes, breezeways and stairwells, sidewalks and common-area concrete, gutters and windows. We protect fire alarm components and keep water out of units, so residents and management never deal with the aftermath.
HOA & MANAGED PROPERTIES
Shared building exteriors, sidewalks and common areas cleaned the right way for each surface. Clean, well-kept common areas protect property values and keep residents happy.
STOREFRONTS, RESTAURANTS & PARKING LOTS
Storefront and restaurant exteriors, drive-thru lanes, entryways, sidewalks and parking lot concrete. A clean exterior is the first thing customers notice, and surface-cleaned concrete gets a post-treatment so the result lasts.
What We Clean
Buildings, Concrete, Gutters & Windows
BUILDING WASHING: SOFT WASHING & DOWNSTREAMING
We never put heavy pressure on siding, doors or windows. Buildings with lighter organic growth are downstreamed: a diluted solution applied at low pressure through an in-line injector. Heavier staining and porous surfaces like stucco, Dryvit and EIFS are soft washed, with a metering system that sets chemical strength for that surface. Both remove algae and mildew, plus wasp nests, spider webs and pollen.
CONCRETE, PARKING LOTS & FLATWORK
Sidewalks, breezeway floors, dumpster pads, drive-thru lanes, entryways and parking lots are cleaned with commercial surface cleaners for an even, streak-free finish, then post-treated so the result lasts longer. Pavers, bluestone and brick get a chemical application and about half the pressure of standard concrete, which protects grout and mortar joints.
GUTTER CLEANING
Gutters and downspouts are cleared by hand or with specialized equipment to restore proper flow. We check for visible damage or loose fasteners and tell management if repairs are recommended. Gutter exteriors can be soft washed afterward to restore curb appeal.
WINDOW CLEANING
Lower windows are cleaned with a purified-water pole system and soft-bristle brush for a streak-free finish. Higher elevations are reached with water-fed poles or, when needed, lift equipment with OSHA-compliant fall protection. Frames, sills and edges are detailed.
WAREHOUSE & INDUSTRIAL INTERIOR WASHING
Large interior walls in warehouses and manufacturing facilities, including a 100,000 sq ft former Golden Flake factory. Methods and pressure are matched to the wall material and what's on it.
Safety First
How We Protect Your Property
BREEZEWAYS, DOORWAYS & FIRE SYSTEMS
Fire alarm panels, sensors and suppression components are taped off or covered with plastic before cleaning starts. If a building's design raises any concern about water intrusion or code compliance, we skip that area entirely. Outlets and A/C disconnects are protected the same way.
NO WATER UNDER DOORS
We never aim direct pressure at the base of a door. Rinsing is done at low pressure and a safe angle, so water does not get under thresholds. Water entry is only possible when a door gasket is missing or damaged, and we look for that first.
CONCRETE AGE MATTERS
Newer concrete is softer and can scar under full pressure, so we adjust to its age:
4+ years old: standard pressure and post-treatment.
About 3 years old: reduced pressure (about 2,000 to 2,500 PSI), or by hand in shaded areas.
1 to 2 years old: low pressure (about 1,500 to 1,800 PSI), slow passes and a light post-treatment, with no surface cleaner when avoidable.
WE EXPLAIN THE WHY
Before every project, you get transparent pricing and a plain explanation of how each surface will be cleaned. Many property owners we meet have dealt with damaged surfaces or results that didn't last. We want you to know your property is being handled the right way.

FAQ
Common Questions from Property Managers
WILL WASHING THE BUILDING PUSH WATER INTO UNITS OR OFFICES?
No. We never use heavy pressure on buildings or aim it at door bases. Rinsing is low pressure at a safe angle; water can only get in where a door gasket is already missing or damaged.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE FIRE ALARMS AND SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS?
All panels, sensors and suppression components are taped off or covered before cleaning. If anything about the setup raises a concern, we leave that area alone.
DO YOU PRESSURE WASH SIDING AND STUCCO?
Not with high pressure. Siding is downstreamed or soft washed with low pressure and a solution matched to the surface. Stucco, Dryvit and EIFS are always soft washed.
CAN YOU CLEAN NEWER CONCRETE?
Yes. We lower the pressure based on the concrete's age and avoid surface cleaners on concrete under two years old when possible.
WILL CLEANING DAMAGE PAVERS OR BRICK?
No. Pavers, bluestone and brick get a chemical application and about half the normal pressure to protect the joints.
CAN YOU REACH UPPER-FLOOR WINDOWS?
Yes. We use water-fed poles and, when needed, lift equipment with OSHA-compliant fall protection.
CAN YOU WORK AFTER HOURS OR ON WEEKENDS?
Yes. We schedule after hours and on weekends so cleaning doesn't disrupt residents, tenants or customers.
DO YOU OFFER RECURRING MAINTENANCE?
Yes. We set up recurring cleaning schedules so your property stays consistently clean without you having to call each time.
ARE YOU LICENSED AND INSURED?
Yes. Absolute Cleaning Solutions is licensed and insured, and we send a certificate of insurance with every quote.
