Dagsboro sits in the heart of Sussex County, where pollen season arrives hard every spring and the damp coastal air keeps algae and organic growth working year-round on siding, fences, decks, and concrete. Ortiz Pro Wash is a local exterior cleaning company serving homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Dagsboro and the surrounding area, bringing the right equipment and method to each surface rather than applying a one-size-fits-all pressure to every job.
From house washing and driveway cleaning to roof soft washing, deck restoration, and gutter cleaning, we handle the full range of residential exterior cleaning. On the commercial side, we work with property managers, HOAs, storefronts, and apartment complexes on everything from building washing and fleet cleaning to dumpster pad cleaning and post-construction cleanup.

Not every surface in Dagsboro handles pressure the same way, and we clean accordingly. Vinyl siding can tolerate a bit more pressure, while Hardie board near the coastal areas needs a gentle approach because oxidation scratches and marks easily under too much force. Stucco calls for a stronger cleaning solution with lower pressure, wood decks require pretreatment, an emulsifier, board-by-board pressure washing, and a wood brightener finish, and composite decks clean up well with lower pressure and a shorter dwell time. Shingle roofs receive soft wash application and light rinsing, while metal roofs may need power washing combined with oxidation removal, depending on their condition.
We use eco-friendly detergents and cleaning solutions on every job, including sodium hypochlorite, only at the minimum concentration needed to kill organic growth. Apple Wash-style soaps help the cleaning solution perform properly, and we can add a wax or protective additive to protect siding after the wash. Customers who have questions about any product we are applying can request a Material Safety Data Sheet, and we are always happy to walk through exactly what we are using on a phone call before or during the job.
Before we leave a Dagsboro property, we apply Plant Wash and neutralizing agents to protect surrounding shrubs, plants, and bushes from any cleaning solution that reached them during the job. We also adjust our chemical ratios based on conditions: lower ratios on hot days to avoid over-application, and higher ratios when cold temperatures require stronger performance to get the work done right. Careful hose management, rinsing surrounding areas, and protecting landscaping are standard parts of our process on every job.
Our equipment lineup includes power washers, a soft-wash system, downstreaming capability, adjustable pressure regulation, surface cleaners, and a hot-water unit for commercial-grade cleaning needs. Surface cleaners are especially useful on Dagsboro concrete driveways and parking lots, where they clean evenly and prevent the streaking left by a standard wand. When water access is limited at a job site, we bring our own supply and adjust pricing accordingly.
All pricing depends on property size, surface type, access, soil level, oxidation, and the service level you select. Below is what most Dagsboro properties fall within:
During spring, Ortiz Pro Wash may offer a $100 discount when customers book two services together, such as roof cleaning paired with another service. We also offer military and veteran discounts of 5% per applicable category, with total discounts not exceeding 15%. When our crew is already on-site for one service, adding a second, such as house washing combined with driveway cleaning or window cleaning, often comes at a reduced rate rather than at full price.
Commercial properties and property management companies can receive discounts for ongoing contracts and large-scale recurring work. Contact us directly at (302) 228-6599 to discuss contract pricing for apartment complexes, commercial facilities, and storefronts with recurring cleaning needs.
Vinyl is the most common siding we clean in the Dagsboro area and handles pressure well. Hardie board near the coastal corridor needs a careful touch because oxidation can scratch or mark under too much force, so we adjust accordingly. Stucco calls for a stronger cleaning solution at lower pressure, and we offer three service levels to match what the property needs: a basic house wash with detergent, dwell time, and rinse; a deluxe wash that adds gutter streak scrubbing and window detailing with window solution; and a premium wash that includes siding scrubbing for oxidation and a protective coating additive.
Concrete is the most common driveway surface we work with in Dagsboro. Paver driveways cost more to clean than concrete, and asphalt cleaning is available by special request. Our driveway process covers pretreatment, section-by-section cleaning with a surface cleaner, rinsing, post-treatment for stubborn contamination, and hand brushing for spots that need extra attention. Tire marks and oil stains are among the most common concerns we address, and we come prepared to treat both.
Wood and cedar decks need more thorough treatment than composite surfaces, including pretreatment, emulsifier application, board-by-board pressure washing, and a wood brightener to finish and restore color. Composite decks use a cleaner, a 5-10 minute dwell time, and lower pressure to avoid surface damage. If a deck is structurally unsafe or severely deteriorated, we will say so before we start rather than cleaning something that should not be cleaned.
Rust removal is one of the more specialized services we offer, and the right approach depends entirely on the stain source and surface type. Concrete rust is harder to treat than rust on vinyl or other materials, and irrigation rust, fertilizer stains, and battery-acid-style stains each require different cleaning products. For certain acid and rust situations where standard products fall short, we use Frontline Restoration cleaner as part of the treatment.
Residential solar panels are the most common solar cleaning project we take on. We may pressure-wash first to remove heavy algae, mold, dust, and other contaminants, then apply a specialized solar panel cleaning solution with a soft brush for the final pass. Safety is built into every solar job: we use ladders and harnesses when roof access is needed and clean from the ground whenever possible. If we see exposed or damaged wiring on arrival, we will not clean the panels until that issue has been addressed.
When you reach out by phone, email, or through the website form, we follow up the same day by both phone and email. We then schedule an on-site visit to review surface conditions, talk through your concerns, walk through available options, and make sure we are quoting you on the right scope of work.
After the walkthrough, you receive a written proposal by email covering the full scope of work and all agreed services. Once you approve the quote, we get you on the schedule, send a reminder as the date approaches, and notify you about one hour before the crew heads your way.
When the crew arrives, we confirm the work scope, connect to the water supply or deploy our own if needed, and lay out hoses with care to avoid damaging your landscaping. We apply Plant Wash and neutralizing agents to surrounding plants and shrubs, wet down vegetation before cleaning begins, and cover fragile areas as needed.
We use the method each surface requires: soft washing for roofs and sensitive siding; pressure washing and surface cleaners for driveways and concrete; emulsifier and wood brightener for wood decks and fences; and specialty rust cleaners matched to the stain source. Concrete may require surface cleaners and the hot water unit for thorough, streak-free results.
Once cleaning is complete, we rinse all treated surfaces and surrounding areas, clean up debris from gutter work and surface cleaning, and do a final walk of the property. If you are home, we will check in with you directly before we leave to confirm everything looks right.
Payment can be collected on-site or invoiced at Net 15 or Net 30 for residential clients, and Net 30 or Net 60 for commercial accounts. We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, checks, Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal. After payment, we send a receipt and follow up a day or two later with a Google review request.
Dagsboro is a small Sussex County town with a character that is genuinely its own, from the historic walls of Prince George’s Chapel and the landmark Clayton Theatre to the open green of Katie Helm Park and the antique shops and local businesses along the Route 113 corridor. It is the kind of community where property owners take pride in their homes and where the mix of coastal humidity, heavy tree canopy, and long pollen seasons makes exterior cleaning a regular part of keeping things looking the way they should. We work throughout Dagsboro every season and across the neighboring communities of Millsboro, Frankford, Ocean View, Selbyville, Bethany Beach, Millville, and Georgetown. Because we are in this area year-round, we know how properties here get dirty, how fast algae returns on a shaded vinyl-sided home, what pollen does to windows and gutters after a Sussex County spring, and what it takes to keep a commercial property on Route 113 looking sharp through heavy traffic and weather. That local knowledge shapes how we estimate, how we clean, and how we follow up.
Call (302) 228-6599, email us, or visit our contact page to submit a request and get a free estimate for your Dagsboro property. Spring and summer schedules fill fast in Sussex County, so booking early puts you ahead of peak pollen and algae season.
