Overview
Exterior cleaning for apartments & multifamily
Apartment communities are the most demanding recurring exterior cleaning environment we work in. A single property can have twenty buildings, hundreds of linear feet of breezeway, multiple stair towers, a clubhouse, a pool deck, dumpster enclosures and a leasing office — all occupied, all in use every day of the project.
MW Pressure Washing has built a large part of its business around multifamily exterior cleaning, working with on-site managers and regional property managers across DeKalb County and Metro Atlanta.

How we approach it
Sequencing, access and method
Multi-building projects, one plan
We phase multi-building communities so only one section is affected at a time. Buildings are grouped by access and water supply, residents get advance notice through management, and each phase is finished and reopened before the next begins.
That approach keeps a 300-unit community fully operational through a week of work instead of turning the property into a construction zone.
Minimizing resident disruption
Breezeways are the front door for the units on that landing. We clean them in a way that restores access the same day, keeps stair routes available, and avoids pushing water toward doors, windows and personal belongings.
Management receives a schedule that can be turned into resident notices, and crews work in visible, identifiable fashion so residents know who is on the property.
The right method for each part of the community
Concrete breezeways and walkways get surface-cleaned with pressure. Painted siding, stucco and EIFS elevations get soft washed at low pressure. Pool decks and amenity surfaces are cleaned with care for coatings and pavers. Dumpster enclosures need heat and degreasing.
Treating a community as a single surface type is how properties end up with streaked siding and disappointed owners.
Recurring programs and portfolios
Most communities we serve run on a semiannual or annual cycle, often timed ahead of ownership inspections or lease-up pushes. Management companies with several DeKalb County communities can run them on one coordinated calendar with consistent scope across sites.
Working with us
From first call to recurring maintenance
- 01
Call and describe the property
Reach us at (404) 313-8900. We ask about property type, approximate square footage, surfaces, access and how the site operates during the day.
- 02
On-site assessment
We walk the property to identify surface types, substrate condition, soiling, water sources, drainage and staging. This is what makes a commercial quote accurate.
- 03
Written scope and schedule
You get a scope that lists exactly which areas are included, the method used on each, the sequence across buildings or levels, and the working window.
- 04
Work performed around operations
Crews work nights, early mornings, weekends or phased by building so parking, entrances, trash service and tenant access stay available.
- 05
Walkthrough and maintenance cycle
We walk the finished work with you and recommend a realistic recurring cycle for the areas that need it, rather than selling the same frequency to every property.

Questions
About apartments & multifamily cleaning
How long does it take to pressure wash an apartment community?
It depends on unit count, number of buildings and scope. A mid-sized community with breezeways, walkways and common areas is typically completed in phases over several days, with only one building group affected at a time.
Do residents need to do anything before service?
Residents should clear personal items from breezeways, landings and patios in the affected section. We provide the schedule in advance so management can distribute notices.
Can you clean the buildings without damaging paint?
Yes. Painted siding, stucco and EIFS elevations are soft washed at low pressure with cleaning solutions rather than high pressure, which cleans the surface without forcing water behind the finish.
Do you work with regional managers across multiple communities?
Yes. Portfolio programs across several properties are coordinated on one schedule with a single point of contact.
