About Us | Shine City Pressure Washing

Our Story — From a One-Man Operation to Metro Vancouver’s Top-Rated Exterior Cleaning Team

Shine City Pressure Washing was born out of a simple belief: every home and business in Metro Vancouver deserves to look its absolute best, and the people providing that service should treat every property like their own. What started as a teenager with a pressure washer and a pickup truck in 2018 has grown into one of the most trusted exterior cleaning companies in Greater Vancouver, backed by a 5.0-star rating and 291+ Google reviews from homeowners, property managers, and business owners across the Fraser Valley.

Updated for 2026 — this guide reflects the latest exterior cleaning services and pricing in Metro Vancouver.

This is the story of how we got here — and why thousands of customers across Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Abbotsford, Vancouver, and beyond trust Shine City to keep their properties spotless year after year.

2018–2019: The Beginning in Sechelt and Surrey

At the age of 17, our founder relocated from the quiet coastal town of Sechelt, BC, to the bustling Metro Vancouver area. With nothing more than determination and a strong work ethic, he founded a small pressure washing company called CedarStone Home Services. The focus from day one was straightforward: pressure washing and gutter cleaning, delivered with exceptional customer service at honest, affordable prices.

In those early months, CedarStone Home Services operated as a part-time venture alongside a full-time construction job. But word spread quickly through Surrey and the surrounding communities. Neighbours recommended the company to neighbours. Repeat customers started booking seasonal cleanings. Within a year, the growing demand made it possible to leave construction behind and commit full-time to residential and commercial exterior cleaning across the Lower Mainland.

Those first two years laid the foundation for everything Shine City would become. Every driveway, every gutter, every sidewalk cleaned taught invaluable lessons about what homeowners actually need: reliability, transparent pricing, careful workmanship, and a team that shows up on time and leaves the property looking better than expected.

2020–2021: Rebranding and Expanding Services

By 2020, the business had outgrown its original name. CedarStone Home Services was rebranded to Shine City Pressure Washing — a name that better captured the company’s growing mission to make every corner of Metro Vancouver shine. Along with the new identity came an expanded menu of services designed to be a true one-stop exterior cleaning solution for homeowners and commercial property managers alike.

New service offerings added during this period included professional roof cleaning and moss removal, soft washing for delicate siding and painted surfaces, full exterior house washing, residential and commercial window cleaning, and deck and patio restoration. Each new service was developed with the same philosophy that built the company: use the right equipment, the right techniques, and the right cleaning solutions for every surface, and never cut corners.

The 2020–2021 period also brought challenges that tested the young company. The pandemic forced many businesses to close their doors, but demand for exterior home maintenance actually surged as homeowners spent more time at their properties and invested in curb appeal. Shine City adapted quickly, implementing contactless quoting and payment, maintaining strict safety protocols, and delivering the same high-quality results customers had come to expect — even during uncertain times.

Customer referrals and five-star Google reviews became the company’s most powerful growth engine. Rather than relying on expensive advertising, Shine City let its work speak for itself. Every completed job became a calling card — neighbours would see the dramatic before-and-after difference on a freshly washed home and call to book their own service the same week.

2022–2023: Building the Team and Serving Greater Vancouver

By 2022, Shine City had grown from a solo operation into a dedicated team united by the same core values: outstanding customer service, meticulous attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making every property look its best. Crew members were trained in proper soft wash chemistry, surface-specific pressure settings, ladder safety, and customer communication to ensure a consistently excellent experience on every single job.

The service area expanded to cover virtually all of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. From West Vancouver’s waterfront estates to Abbotsford’s sprawling agricultural properties, from downtown Vancouver’s commercial storefronts to Langley’s family neighbourhoods, Shine City’s branded trucks became a familiar sight across the region. Key service areas now included Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, New Westminster, Delta, Richmond, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, White Rock, Mission, Chilliwack, and Abbotsford.

The company’s success during this period is a testament to the trust and loyalty of hundreds of residential and commercial customers across Greater Vancouver. Strata councils began booking annual maintenance packages for townhouse complexes. Property management companies signed on for recurring window cleaning and parkade washing contracts. Homeowners who had booked a single driveway cleaning years ago were now scheduling full exterior maintenance packages every spring and fall.

Christmas light installation services were also introduced during this period, giving homeowners a hassle-free way to transform their properties into stunning holiday displays without climbing a single ladder. The service quickly became one of Shine City’s most popular seasonal offerings, with bookings filling up months in advance across Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and the Tri-Cities.

2026–2026: Scaling Up for Commercial and Residential Growth

The 2024–2025 chapter represents Shine City’s most ambitious growth phase yet. The company expanded its fleet and field teams to meet surging demand from both residential homeowners and commercial clients. Repeat commercial accounts — including strata complexes, retail plazas, restaurants, gas stations, and warehouse facilities — now rely on Shine City for annual pressure washing, garage and parkade cleaning, window cleaning, and townhouse roof maintenance programs.

A major milestone in 2024 was the addition of the largest service vehicle in the fleet: a fully equipped rig capable of washing two average-sized homes simultaneously. This investment in equipment means faster turnaround times for customers, the ability to handle large-scale commercial projects efficiently, and the capacity to serve more families and businesses across Metro Vancouver without sacrificing quality.

Looking ahead, Shine City’s mission remains the same as it was on day one: deliver exceptional exterior cleaning results at fair prices, treat every customer’s property with care and respect, and continue growing through word-of-mouth referrals and five-star reviews rather than empty promises. The goal for 2025 and beyond is to further expand the repeat commercial customer base, helping make Metro Vancouver shine more and faster — one building, one driveway, one roofline at a time.
