Why Santa Cruz Property Owners Hire Us

Coastal Know‑How

Salt spray and damp shade lead to algae, mildew, and rust blooms. We match cleaners and dwell time to those issues and protect surrounding plants with pre‑wetting and controlled runoff.

Care for Surfaces

Not every job needs high pressure. On paint, stucco, and roofing, we use a soft wash that cleans thoroughly without scarring or forcing water behind the surface.

Clear Communication

You get a written scope, window of arrival, and a single point of contact. If weather shifts, we reschedule promptly and keep you posted.

Fast Facts

  • Fully insured and permitted for exterior washing
  • Eco‑friendly detergents; rinsed areas are safe after drying
  • Slip‑risk areas pre‑treated and coned off during work
  • Quiet start times in residential zones; flexible off‑hours for businesses
  • Shoes covered and interior floors protected when accessing backyards

Residential Services

Whether you are preparing for guests, putting a home on the market, or maintaining seasonal upkeep, our residential service removes the buildup that makes a property look tired. We focus on high-traffic paths, shaded siding, and areas where moisture lingers.

  • House washing: Low-pressure soft wash for siding and trim.
  • Roof wash: Algae and moss treatment with careful rinse to protect shingles.
  • Driveways and sidewalks: Surface cleaner for uniform results with neat edging.
  • Decks and fences: Tested method for each wood species before full application.

Commercial Services

Clean entries and walkways keep customers safe and reflect well on your business. We work with property managers and owners across Santa Cruz County to maintain storefronts, breezeways, and common areas.

  • Storefront wash and gum removal
  • Parking lot islands and curbs
  • Dumpster pad degreasing with appropriate containment
  • HOA common area cleaning and seasonal maintenance

Our Step‑by‑Step Process

  1. Walk‑through and notes: We flag paint chips, loose trim, oxidized siding, and delicate plants so nothing is missed.
  2. Protect: Electrical outlets, door thresholds, and cameras are covered. Landscaping is pre‑soaked.
  3. Apply detergent: The solution works on organic matter like algae and mildew so the rinse can be gentle.
  4. Agitate as needed: For stubborn spots we use brushes rather than more pressure.
  5. Rinse and neutralize: Surfaces are rinsed from top to bottom; surrounding plants are flushed again after cleaning.
  6. Final detail: Edges are finished, windows are checked, and we do a joint inspection.

Most homes are completed in a single visit. Larger properties or multi‑building sites are scheduled in phases so access and parking stay simple for neighbors and customers.

Safety & Environmental Care

We work neatly and respect the coast. Detergents are chosen for performance and rinsability. Runoff is directed away from storm drains when possible, and high‑risk areas are contained and vacuumed. Pets remain indoors during application and can return to treated areas after drying.

  • Low-noise equipment and hose guards to protect edges
  • Slip warnings placed before washing high‑traffic areas
  • OSHA‑minded ladder and roof practices
  • Respect for neighbors and quiet hours

Pricing & Scheduling

Every property is different, so we base pricing on square footage, access, material, and level of buildup. Photos or a brief site visit help us quote accurately. You receive a written estimate, proof of insurance, and a proposed schedule. Weekend and off‑hours appointments are available for retail and restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is pressure washing safe for painted siding?

Yes, when handled correctly. We use a soft wash on paint and stucco, which relies on soap and dwell time rather than force. That prevents scarring and water intrusion while still removing mildew and salt residue.

How often should walkways and driveways be cleaned?

In the Santa Cruz climate, once a year keeps concrete bright and reduces slip risk. Shaded or north‑facing areas may need a mid‑season rinse to control algae.

Do you need access to my water?

Most homes provide a hose bib we can use. For commercial sites or special situations, we can bring water or coordinate access with your property manager.

Will cleaning harm my plants or lawn?

We pre‑wet, control application, and rinse plants afterward. The solutions we use break down with exposure and are gentle on landscaping when used as directed.

What parts of Santa Cruz County do you serve?

We regularly work in Santa Cruz, Capitola, Soquel, Aptos, Live Oak, Pleasure Point, Seabright, Scotts Valley, and nearby areas. If you are outside the immediate county, reach out and we’ll let you know if we can schedule your location.
