Most commercial building wash jobs cover more than one surface. Our standard scope includes the building facade, windows, and concrete walkways, with gutters and solar panels added as the site requires. We work with apartment complexes, builders like Cardel Homes, and active businesses that need the exterior done properly without disrupting tenants or daily operations.
Silvertip Wash Co. is a Calgary-based exterior cleaning company built for commercial work. We use heated, low-pressure washing combined with section-by-section hand scrubbing to restore building surfaces rather than blast through them. Every job is documented in Jobber with step-by-step crew notes and automated reminders, including a day-before notification to the site contact. Post-winter gravel and residue on building entries is one of the most consistent problems Calgary property managers face each spring, and it’s where many of our commercial relationships start.
Building washing is priced by scope, not a flat rate. Before quoting, we need to understand exterior square footage and materials, window pane count, concrete areas, access conditions, and whether you need a one-time clean or a recurring maintenance schedule.
Pricing varies by surface type, scope, and job volume. Here are the reference points for the most common components included in a commercial building wash:
Exact pricing details are available upon request.
Several factors move a commercial building wash quote up or down, even on buildings of similar size:
All discounts apply based on scope, service combinations, and plan frequency as quoted:
Our core scope covers exterior walls, glass, and concrete walkways, with gutters and solar panels added site by site. We work with apartment complexes, post-construction sites, multi-property portfolios, and active storefronts, applying heated low-pressure washing and manual agitation to restore, not just rinse.
Inquiries come through our website. We respond quickly, ask a few questions about scope and site conditions, and arrange an on-site quote. Two weeks to a month of lead time is ideal for commercial coordination.
Once booked, we build the full scope and process into Jobber with detailed crew notes and automated reminders, including a day-before notification to the property contact.
We arrive in uniform and branded trucks, on time. Cones go out, cords are routed away from walkways, ladders are tied down, and harnesses go on when required. Active sites start on the highest-traffic zones first.
A low-pressure hot water pass loosens surface grime without forcing moisture into joints or behind panels.
Specialized detergents go where oxidation or heavy buildup calls for them, with residue kept minimal on glass and siding.
Every panel gets physically scrubbed with a soft brush on a water-fed pole to lift what heat and detergent have already loosened.
A hot water rinse clears all loosened material, followed by a visual check on any flagged areas before equipment comes down.
The RO system removes minerals and sediment for a spot-free finish; hard water staining gets a specialized soap pass first, then the RO rinse.
Runoff expectations are confirmed before service day; if reclaim is required, we document the protocol in job notes and follow it on the day.
We notify the site contact when done, offer a completion walkthrough, complete invoicing, leave referral materials, and follow up by call within four to five days to confirm satisfaction and address anything still outstanding.
Every commercial job at Silvertip Wash Co. comes with the following commitments:
Yes. If vehicle access affects the areas we’re scheduled to clean, we’ll ask that those stalls or zones be cleared. We outline any required site prep and access needs in advance using our Jobber notes, typically 2 weeks to a month ahead for commercial work, so your team has time to coordinate. You’ll also receive automated reminders as the service date approaches.
Yes. If reclaim or specific wastewater handling is required, we’ll plan around the property’s required process. We’ll review the site expectations with you ahead of time (including whether water needs to be reclaimed) and document those requirements in the job notes so the crew follows the correct steps on service day. The key is knowing the site rules and expectations before we arrive.
We haven’t run into compliance concerns on our commercial jobs, and we approach runoff by following the required site process. If a property has specific requirements, like reclaiming water, we discuss that upfront and follow the appropriate steps for that location. This depends on the site and what the property manager requires.
In most cases, we don’t need a lift because our equipment can reach up to 50 feet from the ground. We use a water-fed telescopic pole/wand to work safely from the ground where possible. This can also help keep commercial building washing quotes lower by reducing equipment rental needs.
We’ll ask about your business hours and busiest times so we can plan the workflow around foot traffic. We typically start with higher-traffic areas first to get them cleaned and out of the way, then work around the rest of the property. We also coordinate safety details on site, like keeping cords out of walkways and ensuring ladders and equipment are secured, so the service can be completed safely while you’re open.
