Greenwood sits at the crossroads of Route 13 and Route 16 in northwestern Sussex County, and the rural surroundings that give this town its character also make a strong case for regular exterior cleaning. Pollen from the tree lines, road film from those two corridors, algae that thrives in Delaware’s humid seasons, and the grime that settles on siding, concrete, and roofs over time are not just cosmetic problems. Left unchecked, organic growth eats into surfaces, driveways become slip hazards, and property value quietly drops.
Ortiz Pro Wash provides professional power washing and soft washing for homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Greenwood, DE. Our services cover house washing, roof cleaning, concrete and driveway cleaning, deck and fence cleaning, rust removal, paver sealing, and more on the residential side, as well as building washing, storefront cleaning, parking lot cleaning, and a full range of commercial exterior services. Every job starts with a site visit and ends with a follow-up, because that is how we make sure the work actually holds up.

Greenwood homes sit close to tree lines, rural roads, and seasonal weather that cycles through pollen, humidity, and freeze-thaw. We work on one- and two-story homes, multifamily properties, and apartment-style buildings, covering vinyl siding, stucco, brick, Hardy board, metal, concrete, pavers, wood, and composite decks, as well as vinyl and wood fences. If a surface has a condition that limits what we can safely clean, we will tell you upfront at the estimate. Call (302) 228-6599 or use the contact form at ortizprowash.com to get a free quote for your home.
Commercial properties along Greenwood’s corridors and across Sussex County experience heavy surface buildup, vehicle traffic residue, grease, and grime that require professional treatment. We use power washers, surface cleaners, and a hot water unit on commercial jobs, and we schedule around operating hours or bring an extra crew to keep foot traffic moving safely when needed. For apartment complexes, tenants can be notified about a week in advance, and notices may be posted to reduce foot traffic during the work. We take precautions around waterways and can arrange water reclamation equipment when a project requires it. Ongoing contracts and large-scale commercial jobs qualify for pricing discounts.
Contact us for a scope review and formal proposal. We recommend that most commercial properties schedule exterior cleaning at least twice per year.
When you reach out by phone, email, or contact form, we follow up quickly with both a call and an email. We schedule a site visit, walk the property, review the scope of work with you, explain your service options, and send a formal proposal. Once you approve, you are placed on the schedule. As your service date approaches, we send a reminder, notify you about an hour before we head out, and confirm completion when the job is done.
Vinyl siding can tolerate a bit more pressure when conditions call for it. Hardy board, especially when oxidation is present, needs a gentler approach. Stucco responds better to a stronger cleaning solution at lower pressure. Wood requires pretreatment, an emulsifier, careful pressure work, and a brightener to finish. Composite decks need controlled dwell time and reduced pressure. We adjust pressure levels, cleaning solution ratios, and rinsing methods based on the surface material, its condition, and the weather – because one approach does not work across all of them.
Our baseline is eco-friendly detergents and Apple Wash-style cleaners, with wax additives available for added siding protection. Sodium hypochlorite is used at minimum concentration only when organic growth specifically calls for it. We can provide a full material safety data sheet before your job starts, and our crew will walk you through what products are being used and why. Transparency about what goes on your property and landscaping is not an extra step for us – it is part of our standard process.
Before cleaning starts, we rinse plants and landscaping and apply Plant Wash and neutralizing agents to protect shrubs, bushes, and anything near the work area. Cleaning solution ratios are adjusted based on the weather – lower concentrations in hot conditions, slightly adjusted in cold conditions when effectiveness requires it. We cover fragile surfaces when needed and rinse down affected areas before we leave. If existing damage at the property – broken windows, unsafe deck boards, exposed wiring, soft roof spots, or missing shingles – would create a liability concern, we will tell you before we start rather than after.
We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, checks, Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal. Residential customers may pay on-site or receive invoices on net-15 or net-30 terms. Commercial clients can typically work on net-30 or net-60 terms, depending on the account. If you have questions about payment arrangements before booking, ask when you call, and we will work it out before your service date.
Ortiz Pro Wash is fully insured. Most customers are satisfied with the results, and when someone is not, we aim to resolve the issue and make it right. For situations where a return visit is not the best option, we may offer a partial refund when appropriate. We have a clear process for addressing concerns, and we would rather work through it than leave a customer wondering what happens next.
All pricing depends on property size, surface type, complexity, level of buildup, water access, and site conditions.
• Rust Removal: Approximately $500 to $2,500-$3,000 depending on stain type, surface, and extent; if we cannot fully remove a stain, we may charge only for the cleaning products used
Customers who book multiple services in one visit benefit from the fact that we are already on-site. Bundling house washing with driveway cleaning, for example, can bring the driveway price down from the full rate. Window cleaning can also be bundled with house washing or other services for a discount. During spring kickoff, customers who book two services – such as roof cleaning plus another service – may qualify for a $100 seasonal discount. A 5% military and veteran discount is available, with total combined discounts not exceeding 15%. All bundles and discounts are confirmed at the time of the estimate.
Commercial clients on ongoing contracts receive pricing discounts for large-scale and recurring work. We recommend most commercial properties schedule exterior cleaning at least once or twice per year – one thorough cleaning and one lighter upkeep visit for high-traffic areas such as hallways, decks, and porches. Call (302) 228-6599 to discuss a recurring schedule that works for your property.
If you are not satisfied with the results, we aim to return and correct the issue. For situations where a return visit is not the right resolution, a partial money-back option may be available when appropriate. Most customers are satisfied, but we have a clear process for addressing concerns, and we follow it.
We are one of the few companies in the area that guarantees roof-cleaning results for 3 years. That guarantee is directly tied to our roof-cleaning process and the quality of the results we deliver. Exact terms and conditions are confirmed during the estimate.
A 3-year warranty, contingent on proper maintenance, backs our paver sealing work. If pavers are not maintained as recommended, the warranty may be voided. We recommend soft washing sealed pavers at least once per year and touch-up sealing approximately every two years to maintain coverage.
Gutter cleaning cannot be guaranteed to be long-term because leaves and debris return on their own schedule, especially in tree-heavy areas like those around Greenwood. What we can confirm is that the gutters are thoroughly clean when we leave – we send photos to verify the work. If overflow or clogging returns, call us and we will schedule a return visit.
When you reach out by phone, email, or contact form, we follow up quickly with both a call and an email whenever possible. Questions about scheduling, payment options, cleaning solutions, safety, and scope are addressed early so there are no surprises before your estimate is set.
We schedule an appointment to inspect your property and walk through every area we plan to clean. That means checking surface materials, reviewing nooks and crannies that don’t show up in photos, identifying potential concerns, and discussing your service options in person. For commercial properties, we confirm the scope with the property manager and follow up two to three times during the bid process if needed.
After the site visit, we will send a formal proposal by email. Once you approve the quote, you are placed on the schedule. As your service date approaches, we send a reminder – and for apartment complexes, tenant notifications can be posted about a week in advance to minimize foot traffic during the work. Commercial clients receive a confirmation call after approval to set expectations for project timing.
The crew arrives, confirms the job scope, pulls hoses, connects water, and sets up equipment. Before cleaning begins, we rinse plants and landscaping, apply Plant Wash and neutralizing agents around shrubs and nearby areas, cover fragile surfaces when needed, and adjust cleaning solution ratios based on the weather. We can bring our own water supply if needed, though that may affect pricing.
We apply the right cleaning solution, allow proper dwell time, and choose soft-wash or power-wash methods based on what each surface needs. Surface cleaners are used on flat concrete; hot water equipment is available for certain commercial surfaces. Driveways are pretreated, cleaned section by section, rinsed, and post-treated. Decks and wood fences get emulsifiers and brighteners. Rust removal uses stain-specific cleaners. Commercial jobs at open businesses may require an extra crew to help guide people safely in and out during the work.
When the work is done, we notify you right away. If you are home, we walk the property together to confirm satisfaction before wrapping up. If you are unavailable, we will send an invoice. Payment can be made on-site or through the terms that apply to your account. After payment, we send a receipt and a thank-you message, follow up with a Google review request after a day or two, and share maintenance recommendations for gutters, solar panels, windows, and sealed pavers, so you know when to plan your next service.
