Calgary commercial pressure washing for property managers, retail and HOAs
Building facades, parking lots, storefronts, dumpster pads, HOA exteriors, fleet washing, restaurant exteriors and heavy equipment. Recurring contracts available monthly or quarterly. $5M commercial general liability, WCB coverage, certificate of insurance within 24 hours. Most Calgary commercial jobs land between $500 and $5,000 per visit depending on scope.
Bigger surface, contracted scheduling, written contracts and COI
Commercial pressure washing is not a scaled-up version of a residential job — it is a different operation. Building facades go to six storeys with rope-access rigs for the upper levels. Parking lots run 40,000 square feet plus and need a five-hour overnight window. Dumpster pads need a degreaser-plus-sanitiser sequence on a recurring schedule for health-code compliance. HOA exteriors carry insurance and board-approval paperwork that residential work does not.
The scope sits in a written contract — line-itemised services, per-visit pricing, recurring schedule with hold dates, COI naming the owner or manager as additional insured, change-order process for added scope. We work with property management companies, retail tenants, restaurant operators, HOA boards, construction GCs for post-build cleanups, and fleet operators. Pair your commercial scope with building washing for the envelope, parking lot cleaning for the lot and pads, or HOA exterior cleaning for multi-unit work.

Calgary commercial pressure washing has a calendar most other cities do not. April through October is the active window for outdoor work, with parking-lot deep cleans concentrated in May (after the city snow-clearing residue) and August (before back-to-school traffic). November through March, dumpster pads and indoor warehouse floors are the bulk of the work — outdoor scope is limited by freeze risk. Fleet washing runs year-round in heated bays.
We scale crew capacity for the summer overnight window — three to five overnight crews running June through August on parking lots and storefronts so retail tenants get their work done outside business hours. Contract holders get first-call on the summer schedule before ad-hoc booking opens up. Pair with sealing services for the post-wash penetrating sealer on contracted concrete, or with parking lot cleaning as the recurring backbone of most commercial contracts.

Commercial scope questions
Calgary commercial pressure washing, answered
Five questions that come up before signing a recurring contract.
A standard commercial scope includes the building facade, the entry storefront glass and door surround, the dumpster pad, the parking lot perimeter (the curb-and-gutter line), any awnings and the property-line sidewalk. Recurring contracts often add monthly gum removal, dumpster pad degrease and storefront window pass. Each scope line is itemised in the contract so the property manager can see exactly what is covered each visit.
Yes, for retail tenants and restaurants where business-hours work is not practical we schedule overnight visits or early-Sunday-morning passes. Lighting at the property, water source confirmation and security access are arranged in advance with the property manager. After-hours pricing is line-itemised separately from the daytime base.
Five million in commercial general liability, WCB coverage on every crew member, and commercial vehicle insurance on every truck in the fleet. Certificates of insurance available within 24 hours of request, naming the property owner or management company as additional insured for the contract term. Bonding is available for recurring contracts above $50,000 annual value.
Site walk first, scope confirmation in writing, then a per-visit price plus a discounted recurring rate locked for the contract term (usually 12 months). The recurring rate is 15-25 percent less than the equivalent one-off, because the equipment is set up routinely and the surface conditions stay maintained between visits rather than requiring a deep-clean reset. Quarterly contracts work for HOAs, monthly for retail and restaurants.
Yes. We carry 12 active multi-property portfolios across the Calgary area with one to forty buildings each. The contract sits at the property management company level, individual building schedules ladder up under it, and the invoicing rolls up monthly or quarterly per the management company's accounting cycle. Single point of contact at our end, single point of contact at yours.

Commercial pressure washing notes and contract guides
Hartford runs our facade and parkade-pillar wash twice a year. They schedule the work for Saturday 5am so the tenants never see it happen. Net-15 invoicing matches our AP cycle exactly.

Sidewalk gum + storefront-glass package across 14 retail bays. Hartford coordinated with the property tenants on access, hit every window in one overnight window, COI was on file before the crew arrived.

★★★★★
Quarterly dumpster-pad degrease across three buildings. Our health-inspector flag scores improved at the next visit. The crew knows what the inspector checks for.

Annual HOA exterior wash for 22 units. Hartford did one written board presentation, one schedule, one invoice — exactly what a volunteer board needs. Five seasons running now.
