Why Choosing the Right Exterior Cleaning Company Matters

With Pittsburgh’s humid summers, frequent rain, and seasonal weather swings, exterior surfaces accumulate grime, algae, mildew, and salt stains. Choosing the wrong pressure- or soft-washing company can lead to damage, inconsistent cleaning, or wasted money. As a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, you deserve a provider who brings safety, professionalism, and proven results.

Here’s how to evaluate cleaning companies — and why So Clean Solutions meets the mark.

What to Look for When Hiring an Exterior Cleaning Company

✅ 1. Licensing, Insurance & Professional Standards

Before anything else: make sure the company is licensed and fully insured. This protects you in case of accidental damage or injury during cleaning.

Also confirm that their team uses professional-grade equipment and follows safe, industry-standard procedures.

✅ 2. Range of Services & Proper Cleaning Methods

Your property likely has a mix of surfaces — siding, roofing, concrete, wood decks, gutters, etc. A good company should:

• Offer soft washing for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, wood, and vinyl — to avoid damage.
• Offer pressure washing for hard surfaces like concrete, driveways, patios, and walkways.
• Be flexible enough to offer gutter cleaning, deck & patio washing, window cleaning, and more — depending on your property’s needs.

✅ 3. Transparent Estimates & Written Agreements

A trustworthy provider will give you a clear, written estimate (not a vague ballpark figure) that outlines exactly what will be cleaned, the methods used, and total cost.

They should also share the scope of work and any guarantees or satisfaction terms up front, to avoid surprises.

✅ 4. Verified Reviews, Testimonials & Before-After Examples

Look for a strong track record of positive customer reviews on Google, Facebook, or local community platforms — ideally from clients with similar properties (homes, townhouses, multifamily, commercial).

Bonus: ask to see before-and-after photos to check the quality of past work — especially for tough jobs like roof cleaning, driveway stain removal, or siding restoration.

✅ 5. Local Experience & Knowledge of Pittsburgh’s Climate

Pittsburgh’s humid summers, freezing winters, road salt exposure, and tree cover demand a provider who knows how to treat local building materials properly.

A local company is more likely to understand seasonal challenges — and provide reliable scheduling and long-term maintenance plans.

Questions to Ask When Contacting Exterior Cleaning Companies (or So Clean Solutions)

Before hiring, consider asking:

1. Do you carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation?
2. Which cleaning methods will you use for my surfaces — soft washing or pressure washing?
3. Will I receive a written, itemized estimate before scheduling?
4. Can you provide references, reviews, or before/after photos from past clients in Pittsburgh?
5. What is your process for protecting landscaping, windows, and sensitive surfaces?
6. Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee or follow-up if I’m not happy with results?
7. What is the expected turnaround time and scheduling flexibility?

If a company hesitates answering any of these, it’s a red flag.
