Keeping Centennial Homes Looking Kept

Pressure Washing in Centennial is mostly about upkeep on homes people stay in for years. Roughly 80.6% of homes in the city are owner-occupied, and 89.2% of residents were living in the same house a year earlier, according to Census estimates. A home held that long may have decks, fences and concrete that have weathered a number of Colorado winters and call for a careful cleaning rather than a quick blast.

Neighborhoods older than the city

Centennial became a city on February 7, 2001, but parts of it were settled long before. The city was carved from unincorporated Arapahoe County, taking in the former Southglenn and Castlewood census-designated places. A house from those earlier decades may have wood fences, a cedar or composite deck and aging slabs that need different settings than a brand-new build.

SEMSWA and your storm drains

In this city, stormwater falls under the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority, or SEMSWA, a drainage authority that has served Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County west of Coal Creek since 2006. SEMSWA holds an MS4 permit and is responsible for regulating activities that add pollution to stormwater. For us, that means deciding where wash water goes before the hose comes out: letting lawns and planting beds absorb rinse water, using temporary covers to protect nearby curb inlets and keeping cleaning products out of the gutter line. Outdoor water use is a separate question: drought rules come from your water provider, which may not be the city. Denver Water, for example, restricted power washing for its customers starting October 1, 2026. Check your water bill to see who your provider is and what rules it has in effect.

HOA communities

If your subdivision has a homeowners association, some follow-up work, like changing a fence or deck color after cleaning, may need approval. Cleaning on its own rarely does, but rules about contractor hours and parking vary, so a quick look at your covenants before we schedule saves surprises. We can supply a written scope you can forward to the HOA.

Shops, offices and shared spaces

Centennial is not only rooftops. Retail sales in the city topped $2.8 billion in 2022, and it hosts the headquarters of Arrow Electronics and one of the largest IKEA stores in the country. Smaller strip centers, medical offices and HOA clubhouses need the same attention residential properties get: sidewalks free of gum and grease, clean entry glass and dumpster areas that do not smell in July. We can quote recurring cleanings for common areas as well as one-time visits, and time them around store hours or community events so foot traffic is not disrupted.

Call (720) 419-1995 or email photos. We walk the property, note anything fragile, and hand you a written quote listing every area to be cleaned and how. If you want only part of the property done now, such as the driveway this fall and the house next spring, the quote can be split that way.

Centennial by the Numbers

Largest incorporation of its time. Voters approved incorporation with 77% in favor, and Centennial officially became a city on February 7, 2001. With more than 100,000 residents, it was the largest incorporation in U.S. history at the time it was created.
High ownership, long stays. About 80.6% of Centennial homes are owner-occupied, the median owner-occupied value is $658,100, and 89.2% of residents lived in the same house one year earlier (Census ACS, 2020 to 2024).
A large commercial base. IKEA chose Centennial in 2008 for its first Colorado store, which opened on July 27, 2011 and is the second-largest IKEA in the United States. Arrow Electronics, the largest company headquartered in Colorado, is based in Centennial.
SEMSWA manages stormwater. The Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority, an MS4 permit holder, has handled stormwater and floodplain management for Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County west of Coal Creek since 2006. It runs a storm drain inlet labeling program and accepts spill reports.

Centennial Questions

Who should I call about runoff questions in Centennial?

Stormwater in Centennial is handled by SEMSWA rather than a city utility. Anyone wondering about a detention pond, swale or other drainage feature on their lot or needing to report a spill should contact SEMSWA directly. On our side, each job is laid out so wash water stays clear of the curb inlets.

Should I clean my deck before restaining it?

Yes. Stain grips clean, dry wood far better than dirty boards. We clean at low pressure so the grain does not get torn up, and then the boards need to dry fully, often a day or two in dry weather, before stain goes on.

Can you remove de-icer stains from my driveway?

They can frequently be lightened. Some marks are surface residue and wash off; others have etched the concrete and will only fade. We test a small spot and explain what to expect before doing the whole driveway.

Does my HOA need to approve pressure washing?

Cleaning alone may not require approval, but each community writes its own rules. Look through your covenants for limits on work hours or contractor parking, and tell us so we can schedule around them.
