Parking Lot Maintenance and Pressure Washing

Parking lot maintenance is an important aspect of maintaining a professional business. When your parking lot doesn’t look well kept, your business doesn’t look as professional as it could. Parking lots can attract a host of debris – everything from discarded gum to cigarettes, oil drips from vehicles and stains from spilled coffee and food.

Your Homesteady team can solve all of your parking lot maintenance issues. From small parking lots near retail spaces and under dumpsters to the largest parking garages and mall lots, our trained technicians will quickly and efficiently handle all of your parking lot cleaning and restoration needs.

Pressure Washing for Retail or Corporate Businesses

We clean parking lots with pressure washing. Using soft brushes and biodegradable cleaners to thoroughly wash your parking lot. Our team takes advantage of both truck-mounted pressure washing equipment to deal with large areas and small, hand-wheeled units that can get into the corners to ensure the best results. Our use of environmentally friendly cleaners will not only protect your landscaping investment, but will impress customers who value corporate responsibility. You’ll love the results and how a clean parking lot improves the overall look of your business, hotel, office building, gas station, restaurant or medical facility.

How often a lot needs attention depends heavily on what runs through it. A restaurant lot picking up grease from a drive-through or a gas station lot dealing with fuel drips needs a different schedule than a low-traffic office lot that mostly collects leaves and dust. In freeze-thaw climates, it's also worth scheduling a cleaning before winter — trapped grime and organic debris hold moisture against the asphalt, and that moisture is what accelerates cracking once it freezes.

Oil and grease stains are also a special case. Pressure alone tends to just spread a grease stain across a wider area of asphalt rather than lifting it, since the oil has already soaked into the surface. Our technicians pre-treat those spots with a degreaser and let it dwell before washing, which breaks the stain down chemically first — this is usually the difference between a lot that looks clean and one that still shows ghost stains after a rinse.

There's a safety side to this too. Oil slicks, wet leaves, and grease buildup near dumpsters or loading docks are slip-and-fall hazards, and a lot with faded striping around curb ramps and crosswalks can create accessibility and visibility problems for pedestrians. Keeping those areas clean and the markings visible is a straightforward way to reduce liability exposure, not just a cosmetic upgrade.
