Ortiz Pro Wash provides exterior cleaning services to homeowners, business owners, and property managers throughout Smyrna, DE. Smyrna’s mix of nineteenth-century architecture, newer subdivisions, commercial storefronts, and apartment communities means no two properties clean the same way. A Federal-style brick facade near Historic Downtown calls for a careful, low-pressure approach. A driveway off a newer development near Duck Creek may need surface cleaners and pretreatment for oil staining. A commercial parking lot or dumpster pad near Four Corners has entirely different demands. We use power washing, soft washing, downstreaming, surface cleaners, hot-water equipment, and eco-friendly detergents, choosing the right combination for each surface and what has built up on it.
Whether you are dealing with green algae, mold, rust staining, tire marks, gum, organic growth, or commercial-grade grime, our team assesses your property before the first drop of solution goes down. We can bring our own water when needed, though pricing may vary when access to water is limited. Residential services cover everything from house washing and roof cleaning to paver sealing and solar panel cleaning. Commercial capabilities include building washing, storefront cleaning, parking lots, dumpster pads, fleet washing, and more. Call Ortiz Pro Wash at (302) 228-6599 to request a free power washing estimate in Smyrna, DE.
Smyrna’s housing stock runs from historic Georgian and Queen Anne homes near the Smyrna Museum Complex to newer two-story properties in subdivisions closer to the Smyrna-Clayton corridor. Vinyl, stucco, brick, Hardy board, and some metal surfaces all respond differently to cleaning, which is why we inspect each property and adjust before we start. Whether your home has never been washed or it has been a few years since the last service, we have a method for it.
Call or submit a quote request online and we will find the right services for your property and give you an accurate estimate based on your home’s size and condition.
Commercial properties come with tighter timelines, higher foot traffic, and surfaces that have taken more abuse than anything on a residential job. We approach commercial work through a formal proposal process, communicate planned start and completion dates upfront, and can schedule after-hours work when disruption needs to remain minimal. Net 30 or net 60 invoicing is available depending on the account type.
Reach out to discuss your property’s scope and we will put together a proposal matched to your schedule and cleaning needs.
Not every surface tolerates the same pressure, and not every stain responds to the same solution. Hardy board, stucco, older materials, and oxidized siding all require a gentler approach, so we soft wash when the surface calls for it and regulate pressure based on what is actually in front of us. Concrete driveways, parking lots, and dumpster pads are a different matter and may need surface cleaners, stronger pressure, or hot water to get the job done right. Protecting your surfaces and producing lasting results depends on reading each job correctly before the work starts.
We use sodium hypochlorite at the minimum effective concentration needed to kill organic growth, not at a higher ratio simply because it is easier. Apple Wash soaps, wax additives, and specialized cleaning solutions are brought in when the job calls for them. If you want to know exactly what is going on your property, we can provide a Material Safety Data Sheet so you can review the products and their health and safety information before the job begins.
Plants, shrubs, and surrounding surfaces are protected throughout every job. We use Plant Wash and neutralizing agents to treat landscaping, and we adjust chemical ratios based on the weather: hot conditions require lower ratios to prevent over-reaction, while colder temperatures call for slightly higher ratios to keep the solution performing properly. Before we leave, plants and surrounding areas are rinsed or treated so you are not left wondering what the cleaning did to your yard.
For businesses and apartment communities, working around active traffic is a priority. We aim to schedule during low-traffic hours, our team can help guide customers safely in and out when washing must happen while a business is open, and after-hours service is available when daytime cleaning is not practical. For apartment complexes, we coordinate resident notifications about a week before service and ask tenants to reduce foot traffic in the work areas.
Ortiz Pro Wash is fully insured. If the results are not right, we will return to address the issue and make it right. A partial satisfaction adjustment may apply in some cases, though a full money-back guarantee is not made across all services, so ask during your estimate how this applies to your specific job. Satisfaction issues are rare because we take the time to do the work properly from the start.
Final pricing depends on property size, surface type, access, soil level, building height, and whether we need to supply water. The ranges below are confirmed estimates for reference. Your actual quote is determined during the property visit.
* House Washing: starting at $250 minimum; typical one-story homes range $250 to $350; larger homes approximately $700 to $800; very large mansion-style properties approximately $1,200 to $1,300; cost varies with size, height, surface material, complexity, and prior washing history
* Driveway Cleaning: approximately $100 to $500, depending on size and surface material
* Deck Cleaning: approximately $150 to $700, depending on size, material, and complexity
* Fence Cleaning: vinyl fencing approximately $10 per section, with total jobs ranging roughly $200 to $1,000; wood fences may start around $300 and reach $1,500 or more, depending on size and complexity
For all other services, call us at (302) 228-6599 for a quote specific to your property.
When we are already on-site for one service, adding a second is more cost-effective than scheduling two separate visits. Popular combinations include house washing with driveway cleaning, house washing with window cleaning, and roof cleaning paired with another service. During spring, ask about our two-service booking offer, which may include a $100 discount when you book qualifying services together. Ortiz Pro Wash also offers a 5% military and veteran discount, and total discounts can reach up to 15% maximum across applicable offers.
Ongoing commercial contracts and large-scale recurring jobs may qualify for volume pricing. If your property needs regular exterior cleaning throughout the year, ask about commercial contract terms when we discuss your proposal. Call (302) 228-6599 to talk through what a recurring arrangement would look like for your building or portfolio.
Our goal is to leave every property in better shape than we found it. If something about the results is not right, we will return to address the issue and work to make it right. A partial satisfaction adjustment may be available in some cases, though a full money-back guarantee is not promised across all services, so ask during your estimate about how this applies to your specific job.
We back our roof cleaning work with a 3-year guarantee, which sets us apart from many companies that offer no guarantee on roof cleaning at all. Results depend on the cleaning process, roof condition, tree coverage, debris accumulation, and ongoing maintenance. Ask us what the guarantee covers for your specific roof during your estimate appointment.
Paver sealing comes with a 3-year warranty, contingent on proper maintenance. If pavers are not maintained, the warranty may be voided. We recommend soft washing sealed pavers at least once a year and scheduling a sealing touch-up approximately every two years to keep the surface protected and the warranty in good standing.
Gutter cleaning does not come with a long-term guarantee because leaves and debris will fall again after service, particularly in Smyrna neighborhoods with significant tree coverage near local parks and older properties. What we do provide is photo documentation at job completion, so you can see the work that was done. If overflow or clogging returns after service, give us a call, and we will take another look.
If your window cleaning results are not satisfactory, we will return to re-clean the windows that need attention. Our team cleans glass, tracks, sills, and screens, which keeps complaints rare, but the offer to come back stands if something is not right.
When you contact us by phone, email, or online form, we follow up quickly, usually by both phone and email, to make sure we connect. We then schedule a visit to walk your property, review your goals, assess surface conditions, and talk through service options, including the factors that affect pricing such as size, height, access, and soil level. After that visit, a formal written proposal goes out by email.
Once you approve the quote, you will be added to the schedule and receive a reminder as your service date approaches. About an hour before the crew heads over, we send a notification so you are not caught off guard. Commercial clients receive planned start and completion dates upfront so your operations team can plan around the work.
The crew arrives, notifies you when possible, pulls hoses, connects water, prepares detergents, and sets up equipment. We can bring our own water when needed, though this may affect pricing if access to water is limited. Some jobs may be postponed if conditions are not safe, including severe surface damage, broken windows, unstable roofing, or solar panels with exposed wiring.
Cleaning solution is applied based on the surface type and contamination level, then left to dwell before rinsing or washing begins. A second treatment follows if the first pass needs reinforcement. Driveways get pretreated, surface-cleaned section by section, and post-treated for stubborn staining; rust removal starts with identifying the source before applying the right product, including Frontline restoration for certain rust-like stains; wood decks receive pretreatment, emulsifier, board-by-board pressure washing, and a wood-brightener finish.
Before we leave, landscaping, plants, and surrounding surfaces are rinsed or treated with Plant Wash and neutralizing agents to prevent runoff of any solutions. Dirty water and debris are cleared from affected surfaces where applicable. For paver sealing jobs, siding and landscaping are covered to limit overspray, and caution tape goes up after sealing to keep foot traffic off the surface while it cures.
If you are home at completion, we will walk the property with you and confirm everything looks right before we collect payment. We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, checks, Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal, with invoice options available for eligible residential and commercial clients. After payment, you will receive a receipt. Within a day or two, we may send a Google review request along with maintenance recommendations specific to your services, such as cleaning gutters twice a year, washing solar panels annually, or scheduling a paver-sealing touch-up every two years.
Smyrna is a town where the streetscape shifts from nineteenth-century brick storefronts near Historic Downtown to newer two-story homes off Duck Creek, and that variety shows up in our work every week. Historic homes near the Smyrna Museum Complex and the Plank House feature Federal, Georgian, Greek Revival, and Second Empire architectural details that require careful, low-pressure cleaning to preserve them. Newer properties in the Smyrna-Clayton area bring their own set of challenges, from algae-stained vinyl siding to oil-stained driveways that have sat through multiple Delaware winters. Commercial clients along Four Corners and throughout the surrounding area trust us to coordinate around business hours, communicate clearly before each job, and handle everything from storefronts to dumpster pads without disrupting daily operations. Apartment communities near local parks and residential neighborhoods rely on us to notify tenants in advance and complete the work with minimal interruption. We also serve nearby communities in Clayton, Dover, and Middletown, as well as across Kent and New Castle Counties. Whether your property is a century-old home on the Historic Home Tour route, a newer subdivision house, or a commercial building that needs a thorough annual cleaning, Ortiz Pro Wash understands what Smyrna’s mix of surfaces and seasons actually demands.
