Dewey Beach sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, and that coastal position comes with a cost: salt air, sand, pollen, humidity, and organic growth work against every exterior surface year-round. Seasonal rental turnover only adds pressure to keep properties presentable before the next guests arrive. Ortiz Pro Wash serves homeowners, vacation rental owners, rental managers, and commercial operators across Dewey Beach with power washing and soft washing built for coastal conditions. Call (302) 228-6599 or request a free estimate online to get started.
Beach homes, vacation rentals, multifamily units, and apartment-style properties all take the same coastal beating from salt, sand, and moisture. We work on one- and two-story homes and know the surfaces common in Dewey Beach: vinyl siding, Hardie board, stucco, brick, concrete, wood, composite decks, cedar fencing, and paver driveways.
Dewey Beach restaurants, storefronts, and entertainment areas along Coastal Highway draw heavy summer foot traffic, and that volume takes a visible toll on exteriors and walkways. We work with business owners, property managers, and apartment complex operators to schedule cleaning around their operations: after-hours timing, tenant notifications for apartments, multi-crew setups when businesses stay open. Contact us to discuss a quote.
We use eco-friendly detergents and solutions on every job, with sodium hypochlorite applied only at minimum concentration, just enough to treat organic growth without overloading the surface or surrounding landscape. Any customer who wants to know exactly what we are applying can request a Material Safety Data Sheet, and we explain our cleaners verbally before work begins. Cleaner ratios are adjusted based on weather conditions: lower in summer heat, slightly higher in cooler temperatures, so the solution performs properly.
Not every surface should be hit with the same pressure, and we do not treat them as such. Our crew uses soft-wash systems or power-washing equipment, depending on the surface, and we regulate pressure precisely. For concrete and flatwork, we use surface cleaners; for heavier commercial jobs, we bring hot-water units as needed.
Delaware beach properties come with surfaces that each require a different approach, and knowing those differences is what separates a clean result from a damaged one. Hardie board needs gentle washing to avoid oxidation damage. Stucco needs low pressure with a stronger cleaning solution. Wood decks and fences need emulsifier, pressure washing, and brightener. Before starting, we check for pre-existing concerns (soft roof spots, missing shingles, broken windows, exposed solar wiring) and pause or decline if safety is a factor.
Roof cleaning and gutter work on two-story coastal homes require proper setup, not shortcuts. We use ladders, harnesses, ladder holders, and non-slip footwear, and always bring enough crew to ensure elevated work is completed safely. Corroded window screens, unstable decks, cracked doors, soft shingles: anything that could affect safety or results gets flagged before we start.
All pricing depends on property size, surface type, buildup level, complexity, access, and whether we need to supply water. Verify active pricing when scheduling.
During spring, we may pair roof cleaning with another service for a $100 discount. Driveway cleaning can be discounted when bundled with house washing since the crew is already on site, and window cleaning can be bundled with other services for a discount as well. Military and veteran customers receive a 5% discount, with total discounts capped at 15%. Commercial contracts and large-scale jobs may qualify for pricing adjustments; contact us directly to discuss options. Verify active promotions when scheduling.
If you are not satisfied with the results, we come back and address the issue. In some cases, a partial money-back resolution may be offered. We do not promise a full refund, but we do commit to making it right.
We are one of the only companies in the area offering a 3-year roof cleaning guarantee. That kind of commitment reflects the quality of our soft washing process and the results we consistently deliver on coastal Delaware rooflines. Roof condition and access are reviewed at time of service, as not every situation qualifies without inspection.
Our paver sealing work is backed by a 3-year warranty, contingent on proper maintenance. We recommend at least annual soft washing and possible touch-up sealing every two years to keep the warranty valid and the surface protected.
Gutter cleaning is not guaranteed long-term, as leaves and debris fall again after service, and that is outside our control. What we do guarantee is that your gutters are clear when we leave, and we can send photos to confirm the work is done.
Every job starts with a call or email, and we follow up by both phone and email right away. The goal is to answer your questions and get an appointment on the calendar before anything else.
We visit the property, walk through every surface and service option, and check the areas a phone quote misses: nooks, shaded roof sections, and overlooked concrete. After the walkthrough, you receive a formal proposal by email.
Once you approve the quote, we add the job to the schedule and send a reminder as the date approaches. About an hour before we arrive, you get a notification so you are ready on your end.
We set up hoses, connect to the water source (or bring water if the site requires it, though that affects pricing), and prep cleaners and equipment. Before any cleaning starts, we treat plants and landscaping with Plant Wash and neutralizing agents, rinse surrounding surfaces, and adjust cleaner ratios based on the temperature.
The right method depends on the surface and what has built up on it. House washing means applying a solution, allowing it to dwell, and thoroughly rinsing the siding, windows, foundation, and all exterior surfaces. Concrete gets pretreated, surface-cleaned in sections, and post-treated. Wood decks and fences get emulsifier, pressure washing, and brightener; composite and vinyl surfaces get the lower-pressure treatment they need.
We rinse, clean up debris, and review the work before wrapping up. When you are home, we walk through the completed job with you and confirm satisfaction before leaving. Payment is collected on the spot or invoiced per your arrangement, and one to two days later you receive a receipt and a follow-up asking for a review.
Dewey Beach sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, with Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, and Bethany Beach all within a short drive along Route 1. The salt air rolling off the water, the pollen coating every surface in spring, the algae creeping onto shaded rooflines, and the sand grinding into concrete driveways are not abstract concerns here. They are what Dewey Beach property owners deal with every season. Ortiz Pro Wash works throughout Sussex County coast and brings firsthand knowledge of local surfaces to every job: vinyl siding weathered by coastal moisture, Hardie board that needs a careful hand, paver driveways that take a summer beating, and storefronts that need to look their best before the season hits. Whether it is a vacation rental prepping for summer, a year-round home with a moss-stained roof, or a Coastal Highway business that cannot afford to let curb appeal slide, we know what these properties face and how to clean them right.
