Serving Montecito, CA and nearby towns
Commercial properties in California need sidewalks, entrances and dumpster areas cleaned regularly, with wash water kept out of storm drains to meet local stormwater rules.
Near the coast, salt air leaves a film on siding, windows, screens and railings that dulls finishes and speeds up corrosion on metal. Regular rinsing and washing help protect them.
Some cities in California limit outdoor water use, including washing hard surfaces with a hose, especially during drought declarations. Pressure washers use far less water than an open garden hose, but rules vary, so it's worth checking your city's current restrictions. Wash water should also be kept out of storm drains.

Awning Cleaning: frequently asked questions
How much does awning cleaning cost in Montecito, CA?
Awning Cleaning typically costs $150-$500 for typical residential or storefront awnings, and usually takes 1-3 hours. The exact price depends on the size and condition, and you get it before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
Do you use high pressure for awning cleaning?
Awning Cleaning is done with soft wash and hand cleaning. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is awning cleaning safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule awning cleaning?
Every 6-12 months. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
