Pressure
Washing
Commercial pressure washing and soft washing across the Atlanta metro area — concrete, sidewalks, entrances, building exteriors, and dumpster pads, with the method matched to each surface.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to strip grime, gum, oil, and staining from hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone. Soft washing pairs low pressure with cleaning solutions to remove algae, mildew, and organic growth from siding, stucco, and painted surfaces that high pressure would damage. A professional exterior cleaning company uses both — and knows which surface gets which.
Altura Cleaning provides exterior surface cleaning for commercial properties, builders, and property managers throughout the Atlanta metro area: storefront sidewalks and entrances, parking areas and drive lanes, dumpster pads, building facades, and post-construction hardscapes that need mortar, mud, and paint cleaned off before handoff. Every quote is written surface by surface after a walkthrough, with the correct method specified for each.
Surfaces We Clean
Concrete & Flatwork
Sidewalks, entrances, patios, drive lanes, and curbs — gum, oil, tire marks, and years of buildup. Properly applied pressure washing is exactly what concrete is built to handle.
Building Exteriors
Siding, stucco, EIFS, and painted surfaces soft-washed to remove the green and black organic streaking Atlanta's humidity grows on every shaded wall.
Problem Areas
Dumpster pads, loading areas, drive-thru lanes, and entryways — the high-grime zones that shape how customers and inspectors read your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pressure washing safe for concrete?
Yes - concrete is the ideal pressure washing surface when equipment is used correctly. Professional crews control pressure and nozzle distance, and use surface cleaners for even results without wand striping. Damage happens with excessive pressure held too close, which is a technique failure, not a reason to avoid cleaning concrete.
What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water for hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure with cleaning solutions for siding, stucco, and painted surfaces, killing organic growth instead of blasting it. Using high pressure on siding damages it - which is why we spec the method per surface in every quote.
How often should commercial properties be pressure washed?
Most storefronts benefit from sidewalk and entrance cleaning two to four times a year, with full-property washes annually. High-traffic areas like dumpster pads and drive-thrus often justify quarterly service. Atlanta's pollen and humidity accelerate exterior buildup compared to drier markets.
Will pressure washing damage my building?
Not when the method matches the surface. Hard surfaces get pressure; the building envelope gets soft washing. We also protect landscaping and manage runoff. The damage stories you hear almost always trace to high pressure applied to surfaces that needed soft washing.
Do you offer recurring exterior cleaning schedules?
Yes. Many commercial clients put sidewalks, entrances, and dumpster pads on quarterly rotation, often bundled with window cleaning. Recurring scheduling keeps the property consistently presentable and costs less per visit than one-off calls.
