Ortiz Pro Wash provides residential and commercial power washing throughout Salisbury, MD, the Capital of the Eastern Shore. Salisbury’s position along the Wicomico River means humidity stays high for much of the year, and that moisture feeds algae growth on siding, mildew in the grooves of Hardie board, and organic staining on rooflines throughout Wicomico County neighborhoods. Add seasonal pollen that coats driveways and storefronts near the downtown Main Street corridor every spring, and most properties here need exterior cleaning more often than property owners expect.
We use both power washing and soft washing, matched to the surface in front of us. Shingle roofs and stucco need the cleaning solution to do the work, with minimal pressure. Concrete driveways and commercial parking areas need surface cleaners and controlled pressure washing. We carry both systems to every job and switch between them based on what each surface actually requires. Whether you own a two-story home near Salisbury University, a storefront along the downtown riverfront district, or an apartment complex serving Wicomico County tenants, we can put together a cleaning plan that fits the property.

Salisbury homes range from one-story ramblers and brick colonials to newer builds with vinyl siding and Hardie board, along with apartment-style multifamily properties across the county. Eastern Shore humidity, heavy tree canopy, and spring pollen mean most exteriors need attention at least once a year. Here is what we clean for homeowners throughout Wicomico County:
Not sure which services your property needs? Call (302) 228-6599, and we will walk through it with you.
Downtown Salisbury’s Arts and Entertainment District along the Wicomico River includes more than 60 locally owned businesses, and the county’s apartment communities, gas stations, restaurants, and retail centers all deal with the same buildup, grime, and traffic residue that accumulates year-round. We work with property managers and business owners to schedule cleaning around operations and minimize disruption.
Our commercial services include:
We can perform after-hours service to reduce disruption, use crew members to guide customers during open-business cleaning safely, and post notices to apartment tenants about a week in advance to keep foot traffic low while work is underway. Near the Wicomico River corridor and in areas with drains and runoff-sensitive surfaces, we take the necessary precautions. Large commercial contracts and ongoing maintenance agreements may qualify for discounted pricing. To discuss a commercial scope, call (302) 228-6599 or submit a request through our website contact form.
When you reach out by phone, email, or website form, we follow up by both phone and email the same day. From there, we schedule a property visit, walk the entire exterior with you, discuss every service option, and explain what the work entails. You receive a formal proposal by email after the visit. As your service date gets closer, we send reminders, and our crew sends an arrival notice about an hour before we pull up, so you are never left waiting and wondering.
We do not use one pressure setting across the board. Our crews carry both soft-wash and power-wash systems and choose the appropriate method based on what each surface needs. Concrete and durable surfaces get surface-cleaning treatment and controlled pressure; delicate materials like shingle roofs, stucco, and Hardie board rely on a cleaning solution with far less pressure. Downstreaming and careful pressure regulation are part of how we protect your property while still getting results you can see.
We use eco-friendly detergents and biodegradable cleaning solutions on every job. When organic growth calls for it, we apply sodium hypochlorite at a minimum concentration, just enough to kill algae and mildew without overloading the surface. We also use soaps like Apple Wash, wax additives that help protect siding, and specialty solutions matched to specific services. If you want to know exactly what is on your property, we will hand you a Material Safety Data Sheet and walk you through it verbally.
Plant protection is part of every job, not something we think about afterward. We apply Plant Wash and other neutralizing agents before leaving the property to protect shrubs, bushes, and surrounding landscaping from residual cleaning solutions. We also adjust chemical ratios based on weather: we dial back concentration on hot days and increase it slightly in cooler conditions when the solution needs more dwell time to work. On jobs requiring ladders or extended hose runs, having multiple crew members helps keep hoses off plants and ladders secure.
Property managers are busy, and commercial decisions take longer than residential ones. We follow up two to three times after sending a proposal and always provide expected start and completion dates before any work begins. For apartment communities across Wicomico County, we post notices about a week in advance so tenants know what to expect. On open commercial properties, we start in the lowest-traffic areas and use crew members to guide customers safely when needed.
We accept cash, credit card, debit card, check, Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal. Residential clients can take advantage of net 15 or net 30 payment terms when applicable. Commercial clients may qualify for net 30 or net 60, depending on the client and scope. After payment, we send a receipt and follow up within a day or two with a thank-you message and a Google review request.
Before we clean anything, we evaluate the property. Hardie board with oxidation present gets very light pressure to avoid surface damage. Stucco relies on high-concentration solution with minimal pressure. Shingle roofs receive solution application and a light rinse, while metal roofs often require pressure washing, oxidation removal, and extra scrubbing detergents. Wood decks and fences get cleaned board by board. Concrete rust stains need different products depending on whether the source is irrigation, fertilizer, or battery acid, and we start by identifying the source before we choose a cleaner.
Ortiz Pro Wash carries insurance on every job. If the finished work does not meet your expectations, we will return and address it. In cases where a return visit still does not fully resolve the concern, we may offer a partial money-back resolution. Our goal is to get it right before we leave, and the large majority of our customers are satisfied with the results.
Book two or more services in the same visit, and we can work on a discount because the crew is already on site. During the spring season, we offer $100 off when you combine two services, such as roof cleaning plus house washing. We also offer a 5% military and veteran discount, with total discounts capped at 15%. Large commercial contracts and ongoing maintenance agreements may qualify for commercial pricing discounts. To confirm current offers, call (302) 228-6599 or use our website contact form.
Our paver sealing work comes with a 3-year warranty when the customer maintains the recommended maintenance schedule. We recommend at least annual soft washing to protect the sealed surface. If proper maintenance is not performed, the warranty may be voided. A touch-up application around every two years also helps maintain appearance and protection over the long term.
Ortiz Pro Wash is one of the few companies in the area that guarantees roof-cleaning results for 3 years. Most companies do not back their roof cleaning because results can vary when the process is inconsistent. Our process is what enables us to make this commitment, and customers across Salisbury and the surrounding Eastern Shore communities notice the difference.
We clean your gutters thoroughly and can send photos once the work is done. What we cannot guarantee is how quickly leaves and debris will return, since that depends entirely on your property and the surrounding tree canopy. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice per year, and more often for homes near heavy trees. When you are ready for the next cleaning, we are a phone call away.
Rust removal results depend on the stain type, source, depth, and surface. Concrete rust stains are among the most difficult to clean, and results vary based on whether the stain comes from irrigation, fertilizer, or battery acid. If we cannot fully remove a stain, we do not charge the full service amount. In those situations, we may charge only for the specialty cleaners used, because it would not be right to bill you for a result we could not deliver.
The process starts when you call (302) 228-6599, submit a request via our website contact form, or email us. We follow up by both phone and email right away. Getting back to you quickly is not just about being polite — it gives us the chance to answer your questions, understand the scope of the job, and get a property visit scheduled before your calendar fills up.
We come out to your property and take a close look before we give you a number. On residential jobs, that means walking the full exterior, checking surface conditions, and explaining your options in plain terms. For commercial clients and property managers, we review the full scope of work so the proposal we send matches what actually needs to be done, not a rough approximation.
After the site visit, we send a formal proposal by email. You approve it when you are ready, and we add the job to the schedule. With commercial clients and property managers, we follow up two to three times if we have not heard back, since those decisions tend to move slower than residential ones. Once you approve, your dates are confirmed.
As your service date approaches, we send reminders so nothing catches you off guard. Our crew sends a notice about an hour before arrival. On site, we connect water, prepare equipment, and mix cleaning solutions before anything touches your property. If we need to supply water, we bring it with us, and pricing reflects that step.
Before cleaning starts, we apply Plant Wash and other neutralizing agents to protect plants, shrubs, and landscaping from any cleaning solutions that may contact them. We adjust chemical ratios based on temperature: reduced concentration in hot weather, slightly increased in cooler conditions. On commercial properties, we position in low-traffic areas first and use crew members to guide customers safely when businesses are open. Ladders, harnesses, and non-slip footwear are standard any time elevated work is involved.
The cleaning method follows the surface: soft washing where solutions need time to work, power washing with surface cleaners where durable materials call for it, and specialty cleaners for services like rust removal, paver sealing, and solar panel cleaning. When the job is complete, we walk through the finished work with you to confirm you are satisfied. If you are not home, we send notification and an invoice. We accept cash, credit card, debit card, check, Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal, and a receipt follows once payment is received.
Salisbury’s mix of older brick homes, vinyl-sided colonials, newer Hardie board builds, riverfront commercial corridors, and dense apartment communities gives us a wide range of properties to work on, and we have gotten familiar with what each type needs. The Eastern Shore’s humidity, seasonal pollen load, and proximity to the Wicomico River mean exterior surfaces here face conditions that show up on a schedule, not just occasionally. Downtown Salisbury businesses along the Main Street Arts and Entertainment District need storefronts that reflect well on the community. Homeowners near Salisbury University and throughout Wicomico County count on clean driveways, roofs, and gutters to protect their investment and maintain strong curb appeal. We also serve nearby communities, including Fruitland, Delmar, Hebron, Parsonsburg, Pittsville, Willards, and Eden. Ortiz Pro Wash is not a company that passes through the area. We are the crew that shows up, communicates before and after the job, and works carefully around your plants, your property, and your schedule, because this is where we work every day.
