Commercial Soft Washing in Herriman & Surrounding Salt Lake County Neighborhoods
The problem we see
Herriman's almost all newer construction - Rose Canyon, Anthem, Juniper Crest and the rest. Big stucco facades, tall windows and lots of new gutter installs that catch construction dust for the first couple years.
How we approach it
Commercial buildings, apartment exteriors, HOA common areas and storefront facades all benefit from periodic soft washing - and they all suffer when high-pressure pressure washing gets used instead. Stucco facades, EIFS panels, painted CMU and modern composite cladding all damage easily under high pressure. Soft washing is the only correct method for these surfaces.
What to expect on the day
We run scheduled soft wash programs for property managers, HOAs and commercial owners across Salt Lake County. Annual or semi-annual cleanings for apartment building exteriors, condo breezeways and stairwells, HOA pool houses and clubhouses, office building facades, retail strip exteriors, and medical or dental office buildings.
What sets us apart
Our chemistry is dialed for commercial scale. We carry the larger tanks, the higher-flow soft wash rigs, and the right surfactants for the cladding type. Hardie board, EIFS, stucco, modern composite, painted metal panels - each gets the right dilution and dwell time.
Getting a quote
We coordinate around your operations. Apartment complexes, HOAs and offices can all benefit from cleaning during low-occupancy windows. We schedule, communicate with residents or tenants in advance, and handle all the COI and insurance paperwork that property management requires.
The bottom line
Pricing depends on square footage of cladding, access (boom lift, scaffold, etc.) and frequency. We quote real fixed numbers after walking the property and we run the program on a standing schedule so it doesn't fall off your radar.

Why this matters in Salt Lake County
Utah's climate is tough on exteriors
Commercial buildings in Salt Lake County deal with the same algae, biofilm, salt deicer residue and inversion grime as residential properties - but on a larger scale and with more visibility. A dirty facade reads as deferred maintenance to potential tenants, customers and inspectors. Annual or semi-annual soft washing protects both the building and the property value.
Why proper technique matters here
Multi-family properties in particular need consistent exterior cleaning. Apartment breezeways and stairwells get heavy hand and foot traffic that leaves visible film on walls and ceilings. North-facing stairwells grow mildew. Annual soft washing is the minimum for these areas.
Valley vs. foothill realities
Modern composite cladding (Hardie, EIFS, fiber cement) has specific cleaning requirements that most pressure-washing operators don't follow. We use the manufacturer-approved soft wash approach that protects the warranty and extends the life of the cladding. High-pressure cleaning on EIFS can compromise the panel seams and lead to moisture intrusion - that's a $50,000 repair bill.
HOA, insurance, and resale pressure
HOA-managed condos and townhome communities benefit from coordinated soft wash programs across the whole community on the same visit. Single mobilization, consistent finish across all buildings, and a single invoice for the HOA board.
Seasonal timing that pays off
Office building exteriors collect parking-lot grime, road salt residue from winter, and the inversion film through the cold months. Annual soft washing right before the busy spring leasing season is a low-cost way to make the building show well to potential tenants.
