Commercial Pressure Washing in Chicago’s North Shore
Sidewalks, parking areas, and building exteriors — clean and maintained on your schedule.
High-traffic surfaces accumulate grime that becomes a liability — oil stains, gum, and algae near entrances create slip hazards. Regular washing removes embedded dirt before it bonds permanently or causes surface deterioration.
We handle concrete sidewalks, parking lots, building facades, loading docks, and entryways. Pressure is adjusted per surface, and we use eco-friendly detergents that are safe for landscaping. Service is scheduled outside business hours to minimize disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does commercial pressure washing cost per square foot?
Standard commercial concrete and sidewalks run $0.10 to $0.20 per square foot. Large parking lots (maintenance cleans) are $0.05 to $0.12. Heavy grease areas like restaurant pads and dumpster zones range from $0.20 to $0.35 or more.
Can you pressure wash a parking lot without disrupting business?
We schedule large-area work during off-hours, typically overnight or on weekends. Sections can be cordoned and cleaned in phases so the lot stays partially accessible throughout the job.
How often should commercial sidewalks and entryways be pressure washed?
Quarterly cleaning keeps high-traffic areas presentable and reduces slip hazards from grime buildup. Restaurants and food service locations may need monthly cleaning around dumpster pads and loading areas.
Do you handle oil stain removal on parking surfaces?
Oil stains require pre-treatment with a degreaser before pressure washing. We include this for heavily stained areas. Deep or old oil stains may lighten significantly but not disappear entirely, depending on how long they’ve set.
Can pressure washing remove gum from sidewalks?
High-pressure hot water is effective at removing chewing gum from concrete. This is a common add-on for retail properties and restaurant areas. We can address gum during a standard pressure washing visit.
