Power Washing in Smyrna, DE

Smyrna's Trusted Power Washing Team

Power Washing Smyrna, DE

Smyrna has grown steadily, and many of the newer vinyl-sided homes and townhomes on the edges of town are now hitting their first exterior cleaning cycle. The downtown core along Main Street carries older painted-wood and brick homes that need a more careful approach. Inland humidity, spring pollen, and waterside moisture from Duck Creek and Lake Como drive green algae and organic growth on siding, concrete, and decks across town.

We adjust the method, pressure, and solution concentration to the surface and the contamination level. The newer driveways and flatwork throughout the subdivisions respond well to our surface cleaner, and the older downtown surfaces call for a gentler, solution-forward process.

Power Washing for Smyrna Homes and Businesses

Most of our Smyrna work is residential. We also take on commercial jobs across the area, from storefronts to apartment complexes.

Residential Power Washing

Smyrna’s housing stock spans older painted-wood and brick homes in the downtown core to newer vinyl-sided homes and townhomes in the surrounding subdivisions. We adjust the wash method to the material on every job. Here is what we offer Smyrna homeowners:

  • House Washing: Three service tiers (Basic, Deluxe, Premium) with the wash method and solution strength matched to your siding type. Vinyl, Hardie board, stucco, and brick from foundation to roofline.
  • Roof Cleaning: Low-pressure soft wash on shingle roofs; power wash on metal roofs, with oxidation removal for metal that has weathered or dulled.
  • Gutter Cleaning: Aluminum and seamless gutters cleaned by hand and flushed with pressure, downspouts cleared, gutter brightening available as an add-on.
  • Window Cleaning: Every pane cleaned inside and out by squeegee, detailed, and buffed. Screens soft-washed, tracks and sills wiped, hard water stain removal available.
  • Driveway Cleaning: Concrete and paver driveways pre-treated in sections, surface-cleaned, and post-treated where oil stains or tire marks remain.
  • Deck Cleaning: Composite decks rinsed with a higher-ratio solution; wood and cedar decks get emulsifier, board-by-board pressure washing, and wood brightener. Pool decks included.
  • Fence Cleaning: Vinyl fences pre-treated and rinsed section by section; wood fences cleaned with algaecide, emulsifier, and wood brightener to restore the grain.
  • Rust Removal: Stain source identified before treatment: irrigation rust gets a standard cleaner, fertilizer or battery-acid rust gets Frontline restoration. Concrete and vinyl surfaces covered.
  • Paver Sealing: Clean, resand with polymeric sand, and seal with two coats of Seal N Lock water-based sealer in natural, medium gloss, or high gloss.
  • Solar Panel Cleaning: Pollen, dust, and organic film cleared with specialized cleaning solution and a soft brush to restore panel output.

We recommend annual cleaning at minimum; homes on shaded lots or under heavy tree canopy benefit from a second visit each year.

If your home has never had a professional exterior cleaning, we walk you through what to expect during the estimate so there are no surprises on the day of the job.

Commercial Power Washing

We handle commercial properties across the Smyrna area, from storefronts along the downtown corridor to apartment complexes and retail centers on the commercial strips.

  • Building Washing: Commercial buildings and multifamily structures washed from foundation to roofline, method matched to the cladding material.
  • Storefront Cleaning: Retail and restaurant facades, glass, sidewalks, and entryways cleaned to keep your business presentable for customers.
  • Parking Lot and Garage Cleaning: Concrete and paved surfaces pre-treated and surface-cleaned in sections to remove oil, tire marks, and embedded grime.
  • Apartment Complex Exterior Cleaning: Building exteriors, hallways, common areas, decks, and porches covered. Tenants notified in advance with posted letters.
  • Awning Cleaning: Fabric, vinyl, and metal awnings soft washed to remove mold, mildew, and pollen without forcing water into seams.
  • Drive-Through Cleaning: Hot water degreasing on restaurant and bank lane concrete to cut through grease and food residue.
  • Dumpster Pad Cleaning: Concrete enclosures degreased and sanitized with hot water and heavy-duty cleaning solution.
  • Fleet Washing: Commercial trucks, vans, and equipment washed with hot water and degreasing solution to strip road grime and fuel residue.
  • Gas Station Cleaning: Fuel island concrete, canopy surfaces, and building exterior cleaned of oil, rubber, and exhaust residue.
  • Graffiti Removal: Spray paint removed from brick, concrete, stucco, and metal with surface-matched chemical treatment.
  • Gum Removal: Chewing gum lifted from sidewalks and entryways with hot water pressure washing.
  • Post-Construction Clean Up: Construction dust, concrete splatter, and paint overspray cleared from all exterior surfaces before move-in.

We schedule commercial work during off-peak hours and scale up crew size when the business stays open. For apartment complexes, tenants are notified about a week in advance, and a team member provides umbrella escort during wet work. After-hours and weekend scheduling is available, and commercial invoicing runs at net 30 or net 60 depending on how the property management company operates.

Why Smyrna Homeowners Choose Us

A few things set us apart. They come standard on every job, not as upgrades.

Plant Protection on Every Job

Before we pack up, we treat your plants with a neutralizing solution. Your landscaping is protected as a standard part of every job, not an upgrade.

Chemical Safety You Can Verify

We provide a full Material Safety Data Sheet so you know exactly what we are using on your home. No guesswork, no surprises.

Weather-Adjusted Cleaning Solutions

We adjust our cleaning solution ratios to match the weather. Hotter days get a lighter mix to protect your surfaces; cooler days get the concentration needed to do the job right.

Traditional Window Cleaning Method

We clean windows the old-fashioned way: squeegee, detail, buff, with every pane hand-finished until it is streak-free. That is the standard we hold on every window, every job.

We Bring Our Own Water If Needed

No outdoor spigot? We can bring our own water supply so your job never gets delayed and your schedule stays intact.

We Inspect Before We Start

We walk the property before any cleaning begins and communicate everything we find so you have the full picture upfront. No hidden surprises when the job is done.

Military and Veteran Discount

We offer a military and veteran discount of up to 15% off on every service we provide. It is our way of saying thank you for your service.

Smyrna Power Washing: Get on the Schedule Now

How Our Smyrna Power Washing Works

Here is how the process runs from the first phone call to a clean property.

Contact and On-Site Estimate

Reach out by phone or email. We schedule an in-person visit to walk through the scope of work, review every option, and answer your questions on the spot.

Written Proposal

After the visit, we send a formal written proposal by email and follow up to confirm and answer any remaining questions.

Approval and Scheduling

Once you approve the quote, we get you on the calendar and send a reminder as the date approaches. An hour before arrival, we let you know we are on the way.

Pre-Job Preparation

We arrive, connect the water supply, and inspect the property for pre-existing conditions. Anything we find is communicated before we start. Plants are pre-treated with a Plant Wash neutralizing solution, and cleaning solutions are prepared at the right concentration for the day’s temperature through our downstream injection system.

Cleaning

We match the method to the surface: soft wash for roofs, painted wood, brick, and delicate siding; power washer and surface cleaner for concrete and hard surfaces. Solutions are applied, given dwell time, and rinsed in sections so nothing dries unevenly. On Smyrna’s older homes near Duck Creek, we lower the pressure and lead with a solution to clean without stressing mortar joints or original paint.

Completion and Payment

We walk the results with you if you are home. Payment is collected on-site or invoiced at net 15 or net 30. A receipt and follow-up arrive a day or two later.

Ortiz Pro Wash did an excellent job on my windows at a very fair price. Christian, Brian & Julio worked hard, were very organized and respectful of my home and our newly painted walls. They were polite and friendly. They were meticulous and detailed oriented. My windows were sparkling after they completed their work. I highly recommend them. Great job guys!

Ortiz Pro Wash's crews arrived on time & worked energetically to clean first the roof of our moderately sized Cape Cod with two car attached garage. When the roof crew packed up & left, the house washing crew arrived simultaneously and set about that aspect of the job. They did a very nice job on siding, gutters, exterior of windows, foundation, concrete, screens and a few pieces of resin outdoor furniture. Both crews worked diligently, professionally and respectfully. I don't think you would go wrong engaging Ortiz Pro Wash for your roof and building cleaning needs. Good job & thank you!
