A Cleaner Building Makes A
Better First Impression
When the outside of a building starts to collect dirt, algae, stains, cobwebs, and grime, the whole property can start to look neglected.
That affects how tenants, customers, visitors, and staff see the space.
Our building cleaning and washing service helps remove that buildup so your property looks cleaner, better cared for, and easier to maintain over time.
At APW, we clean exterior building surfaces for commercial, strata, and multi-unit properties across Vancouver Island. We use the right method for the surface, the condition of the building, and the type of buildup we’re dealing with. APW already positions exterior cleaning as one of its core service categories, and this page builds that service out in a much clearer way.
Building Washing for
Commercial, Strata, and Multi-Unit Properties
Not every property has the same cleaning needs.
Some buildings need a light wash to remove surface dirt and organic buildup. Others need more targeted cleaning around entryways, common areas, concrete, or problem spots that collect grime faster.
This service is a good fit for:
-
Commercial Buildings
Keep exterior surfaces looking clean and more presentable for customers, staff, and tenants.
-
Strata and Condo Buildings
A practical way to improve curb appeal and help common areas feel more maintained.
-
Apartment Buildings
Remove visible buildup from exterior surfaces, walkways, and shared outdoor areas.
-
Retail and Storefront Properties
Help your property look cleaner from the street and create a better first impression.
-
Property Managers and Facility Managers
A reliable option when exterior upkeep needs to be handled efficiently and professionally.
What’s Included in Our Building Cleaning Service
Every property is different, but building washing can include cleaning of:
Exterior Walls & Siding
Storefront Exteriors
Entryways
Loading or Service Areas
Walkways and Surrounding Hard Surfaces
Patios and Common-use Areas
Problem Spots with Visible Dirt, Algae, or Grime Buildup
Related Exterior Surfaces that Affect Overall Appearance
If the property needs more than just building washing, APW also offers related exterior cleaning services like window cleaning, gutter cleaning, soft washing, graffiti removal, garbage area cleaning, and moss removal. Those services are already listed under APW’s current exterior cleaning offering.
The Right Cleaning Method for the Surface
A big part of doing this properly is choosing the right cleaning method.
Not every building should be cleaned the same way.
Pressure Washing for Durable Surfaces
Pressure washing works well for tougher surfaces that can handle a stronger cleaning method.
This can be the right choice for:
- concrete
- walkways
- some exterior hard surfaces
- areas with heavier grime or staining
Soft Washing for More Delicate Areas
This can be the right choice for:
- painted surfaces
- certain types of siding
- more delicate exterior finishes
- areas where a gentler clean is the safer option
The goal is simple: clean the building properly without using more pressure than the surface needs.
Why Regular Building Washing Matters
A building does not have to be heavily stained to benefit from cleaning.
In many cases, regular washing helps prevent the property from slowly looking tired, neglected, or harder to maintain.
Professional building cleaning can help:
improve the overall appearance of the property
create a better impression for tenants, visitors, and customers
remove visible grime, algae, and buildup
support a cleaner-looking entrance and common areas
help property managers stay ahead of exterior maintenance
make the building look better cared for overall
It is one of those services people may not notice when it is done regularly, but they definitely notice when it is not.

Need More Than Building Washing?
Many properties need more than one exterior service to really look clean and maintained.
Depending on the building, you may also need:
Window Cleaning
Soft Washing
Gutter Cleaning
Graffiti Removal
Garbage Area Cleaning
Moss Removal
This is one of the advantages of working with a company that already offers a broader range of exterior cleaning services under the same brand structure. APW’s current exterior cleaning page already lists all of these as part of its service coverage.

Building Cleaning / Washing FAQs
How often should a building be professionally washed?
That depends on the type of property, the surrounding environment, and how quickly dirt, algae, and grime build up. Some buildings benefit from annual cleaning, while others may need more frequent service.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses higher pressure and is usually better for tougher surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses a gentler method for surfaces that should not be cleaned with high pressure.
Do you clean commercial and strata buildings?
Yes. This service is designed for commercial, strata, apartment, and other multi-unit properties.
Can you clean walkways, entryways, and common areas too?
Yes. Depending on the property, building washing can include surrounding exterior areas that affect the overall appearance of the site.
Is building washing safe for painted surfaces or siding?
It can be, when the right method is used. That is why the cleaning approach should match the surface instead of using the same method everywhere.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes. APW’s site invites users to contact the company for service inquiries and quotes, and the homepage FAQ also includes free estimates as a customer question.
