Commercial Pressure Washing in Metro Vancouver

Shine City Pressure Washing provides commercial pressure washing and exterior cleaning services for business owners, property managers and strata councils across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. We are based in Surrey and 5-star rated, and we take on everything from a single storefront to parking lots, loading docks and multi-building complexes. Grease and oil are cleaned with hot water, and building walls get a low-pressure soft wash. This page explains what we clean, how a commercial job runs and how to get a written quote for your property.

Commercial Exterior Cleaning Services

One crew can look after every outside surface of a business property. Our commercial pressure washing services cover:

• Building exteriors and facades. Concrete, stucco, brick, metal panels and siding, from ground level to the roofline, including soffits, fascia and gutters.
• Sidewalks, walkways and entrances. Gum, food stains, foot-traffic grime and slippery algae are removed with commercial flat-surface cleaners for an even finish.
• Parking lots and parkades. Oil drips, tire marks and exhaust residue are lifted from concrete and asphalt, and parkades are cleaned level by level.
• Loading docks and dumpster pads. Hot water and commercial degreasers cut through grease and food waste and reduce odours.
• Drive-through lanes. Oil, food and drink stains cleaned off the concrete your customers drive over every day.
• Storefronts and awnings. Doors, signage, entrance areas and canvas or vinyl awnings.
• Graffiti and gum removal. Specialized solutions matched to the surface, with anti-graffiti coatings available for walls that are hit often.
• Fleet washing. Commercial vehicles washed on site at your location.

Some of these have their own pages: sidewalk pressure washing, restaurant pressure washing and awning cleaning. Roof cleaning, gutter cleaning and window cleaning can be added to the same visit.

How a Commercial Job Works, Step by Step

1. Site assessment. We walk the property with you or your property manager and note every surface to be cleaned, any damaged areas, sensitive landscaping, access and scheduling limits.
2. Written quote. You receive a written estimate that states what will be cleaned, the methods we will use and the total price.
3. Scheduling. We book the work around your opening hours, your tenants and your customers.
4. Safe set-up. Safety signage, caution tape and barriers keep people clear of the work area, and nearby landscaping is pre-wetted and protected.
5. Cleaning. Each zone is cleaned with the method that suits its surface.
6. Walkthrough and report. We do a final walkthrough and send before-and-after photos with a completion report for your records.

Hot water, soft washing and wash water. Grease and oil on concrete, loading docks and drive-throughs come off with hot water and a degreaser pre-treatment from our commercial-grade equipment. Painted walls, stucco, siding and awnings get a soft wash instead: low pressure with cleaning solutions, so the surface is cleaned without being damaged. Hard ground surfaces get full pressure washing. Our guide to pressure washing vs. soft washing explains the difference. Where municipal bylaws require it, wash water is captured and kept out of storm drains.

Working Around Your Business Hours

Pressure washing should not get in the way of your customers or staff. Our crews work early mornings, evenings and weekends, so restaurants and shops can be cleaned before they open and office buildings at the weekend. Busy parking lots and parkades are cleaned overnight, when traffic is lightest, so customers are not disrupted.

Scheduled Maintenance Plans

A one-time clean is available, but most commercial properties do better on a schedule that stops staining from building up. Plans can be monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual. Most commercial properties benefit from quarterly cleaning, while restaurants and high-traffic retail entrances may need monthly service. We base each plan on the site assessment: the surfaces, the traffic and the sources of dirt on your property.

Strata Councils and Property Managers

We work directly with strata councils and property management companies. Proposals are written with a clear scope so the council can review them at a meeting, and we provide notices that the council can give residents before the work. Certificates of insurance are available on request, and the before-and-after photos and completion report go into your council or maintenance records. Details are on our strata pressure washing, strata cleaning in Vancouver and strata roof cleaning pages.

Commercial Pressure Washing Pricing

No two commercial jobs are alike, so every price is worked out from your own property. The main factors are:

• The total square footage of surfaces to be cleaned.
• The type of property and its cleaning requirements.
• Surface materials, such as concrete, brick, metal, glass or stucco.
• The type of dirt: grease, oil, gum, graffiti or organic growth.
• Time restrictions, such as after-hours or weekend work.
• Frequency: a one-time clean or a recurring maintenance plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a commercial property be pressure washed?

Most commercial properties benefit from quarterly cleaning. Restaurant entrances, parking lots and other high-traffic areas may need monthly service. We assess your property and recommend a schedule that suits it.

Can you clean outside our business hours?

Yes. We work early mornings, evenings and weekends, and we clean busy parking lots and parkades overnight so customers and tenants are not disrupted.

Are you insured for commercial work?

Yes. We carry commercial general liability insurance and WorkSafeBC coverage, and we provide certificates of insurance to property managers, strata councils and business owners on request.

Can you remove graffiti from our building?

Yes. We remove graffiti from brick, concrete, stucco, metal and painted surfaces with solutions and techniques matched to the material, and we can apply anti-graffiti coatings that make future removal easier.

What happens to the wash water?

We follow local environmental rules for wastewater. Where they require it, we use water recovery systems to capture the wash water so it does not enter storm drains.
