Houston, DE, sits in the heart of Kent County, where spring arrives with heavy pollen that coats siding and rooftops, summer humidity keeps organic growth alive long after the season has turned, and the tree canopy throughout Central Delaware means algae, moss, and debris return reliably year after year. Ortiz Pro Wash is a professional exterior cleaning company serving Houston homeowners and commercial property owners, with coverage extending to Wyoming, Milford, Harrington, Dover, Felton, and the DE-14 corridor.
We handle both residential and commercial power washing, adjusting our approach based on the surface, the weather, and the degree of buildup. Soft washing goes on rooftops and delicate siding. Surface cleaners give concrete a flat, even coverage. Power washing handles what’s built to take it. Whether you’re dealing with algae on your siding, rust staining on the driveway, or grime on a commercial parking area, call (302) 228-6599 for a free estimate.
Houston-area homes deal with a consistent set of exterior challenges: organic growth on siding and rooftops, heavy spring pollen coating windows and gutters, debris on decks and fences, and driveways stained by years of weathering and traffic. We clean across vinyl siding, stucco, brick, Hardie board, concrete, pavers, wood and composite decks, cedar, asphalt shingle, and metal roofs, always matching the method to the surface.
Commercial properties across the Houston area face high-traffic buildup, grease, gum, graffiti, and surfaces that are heavily used year-round. We work with property managers, storefronts, apartment complexes, and businesses that need reliable exterior cleaning on a schedule that fits their operation, including after-hours availability, advance tenant notices, scope confirmation with managers, and net 30 or net 60 invoicing. Discounts are available for ongoing contracts and large-scale commercial properties.
When you reach out by phone or email, we follow up right away on both channels and set a property inspection before writing any proposal. As your service date approaches, a reminder goes out, and the crew notifies you about an hour before arriving. After the job, we follow up to confirm satisfaction, deliver a receipt, and send a Google review request one to two days later.
Applying the same pressure and chemistry to every surface is where a lot of exterior cleaning goes wrong. Oxidized Hardie board needs a gentler pass than standard vinyl, stucco requires extra care, rooftops are soft-washed rather than blasted, and wood decks and fences are cleaned board by board with pretreatment and an emulsifier. For commercial concrete, we bring hot water and targeted treatments for gum, grease, oil, and graffiti. The surface drives every decision.
We use eco-friendly detergents and biodegradable cleaning solutions across all services, with sodium hypochlorite applied at the minimum effective concentration needed to kill organic growth. Apple Wash-style soaps help our solutions work correctly, and a wax additive can be included for extra surface protection where appropriate. If you want to know exactly what we’re using, we can provide a Material Safety Data Sheet and walk you through the products verbally before we start.
We apply Plant Wash and neutralizing agents before leaving any property to counteract the effects of cleaning solutions on landscaping and plants, and we rinse plants, shrubs, and surrounding areas after treatment. Chemical ratios are also adjusted for temperature: in high heat, the concentration is reduced; in cold conditions, it is increased slightly so cleaners perform properly. Hoses are managed carefully throughout to avoid pulling or damaging nearby plantings.
Ortiz Pro Wash carries insurance, and technicians use harnesses, ladders, and non-slip footwear on every job. We inspect properties carefully before starting work on the roof, gutters, windows, and pavers. If we find major prior damage, soft roof spots, exposed solar panel wiring, or unstable decking, we flag it before touching anything rather than cleaning over a problem that needs a different fix first.
Paver Sealing: About $3 per square foot total, including approximately $2.50/sq. ft. for sealing and $0.50/sq. ft. for cleaning.
Common pairings include house washing plus driveway cleaning, house washing plus window cleaning, and roof cleaning bundled with additional exterior work. When we’re already on-site, add-on services can often be offered at a reduced rate. A spring special is also available: customers who book two services together at the start of the season may receive a $100 discount.
We offer a 5% military and veteran discount, with total combined discounts capped at 15%. Ongoing commercial contracts and recurring large-scale cleaning programs come with additional discounts. Contact us to discuss what a regular maintenance schedule would look like for your property.
If you’re not satisfied with the results, we’ll come back and work to make it right. Depending on the situation, a partial money-back solution may also be available.
Ortiz Pro Wash carries insurance, protecting you if something unexpected occurs during service. Our safety-first practices, from pre-job inspections to harnesses on elevated work, are how we keep incidents rare.
We offer a 3-year roof-cleaning guarantee, which most companies in this trade don’t offer. That confidence comes from the process: inspection, careful application of the solution, plant protection, and proper neutralization at the end.
Paver sealing includes a 3-year warranty, provided the pavers are maintained after sealing. Annual soft washing is recommended to keep the warranty valid, and skipping that maintenance can void coverage.
If your windows don’t meet expectations after cleaning, we’ll return and re-clean the ones that need it. Our process covers interior and exterior glass, screens, tracks, sills, and buffing where needed.
We do not offer a warranty on gutter cleaning because leaves and debris can return within days, especially near the heavy tree canopy common throughout Central Delaware. After every gutter cleaning, we provide photos of the completed work so you can see exactly what was done.
Customers reach out by phone, email, or contact form, and we respond right away on both channels to get the estimate process moving. Call (302) 228-6599 to start.
We set up an appointment to walk the property in person, reviewing every surface, problem area, and service option before putting together a proposal. After the visit, you receive a written proposal covering the service level, cleaning method, and any optional add-ons.
Once you approve the proposal, we will get you on the calendar. A reminder goes out as the date approaches, and the crew contacts you about an hour before arriving, so the job starts on time.
Before any cleaning begins, we connect to the water source, prepare solutions, and set up equipment. Plants, shrubs, and vulnerable surfaces are treated with Plant Wash and neutralizing agents to protect them from detergent contact.
House washing involves applying detergent, allowing dwell time, rinsing, and optional window detailing or gutter brightening. Driveways are pretreated, cleaned section by section with a surface cleaner, and post-treated for stubborn staining. Decks and fences are pretreated, cleaned board by board, and brightened where needed. Commercial concrete gets hot water, surface cleaners, and targeted treatment for gum, grease, and graffiti.
After cleaning, we rinse all treated surfaces and clean up the work area. If you’re home, we walk the property together to confirm satisfaction before collecting payment, and a receipt and a Google review request follow within one to two days.
Houston is a small Kent County town, but the exterior cleaning demands here reflect everything this region brings: heavy spring pollen that blankets siding and gutters before the season is in full swing, summer humidity that feeds algae and organic growth on rooftops and fences, and tree canopy from the Killens Pond area to properties along the DE-14 corridor that drops debris and holds moisture against surfaces year after year. Ortiz Pro Wash works in this environment every week, serving residential neighborhoods and commercial properties in Houston and nearby communities, including Wyoming, Milford, Harrington, Dover, and Felton. We know what this climate does to vinyl siding, sealed pavers, concrete driveways, and commercial storefronts because we clean them regularly throughout Central Delaware. Whether it’s a home in Wyoming, a commercial property near Harrington, or an apartment complex closer to Dover, we bring the same surface-specific approach and the same commitment to leaving the property noticeably better than we found it.
