Pressure Washing in Englewood, CO

Pressure Washing in Englewood is shaped by age and space. The city began as Orchard Place in 1860, incorporated in 1903 and was largely built out by 1960, and its northwest quadrant has houses dating to the 1910s. Aged paint, original brick and mid-century concrete call for lower pressure and a slower hand than a fresh subdivision home.

Tight lots and close neighbors

Englewood fits about 5,128 people into each square mile across just 6.56 square miles of land. On narrow lots, overspray can drift onto a neighbor's car, window or fence in seconds. We set up with that in mind: reduced pressure near property lines, tarps where walls sit close together, and a heads-up to the folks next door when work is near their side. Where a garage or fence faces an alley, that gives us room to stage equipment without blocking the street out front.

Englewood projects we can take on

• Brick and painted wood siding on early-1900s houses
• Front porches, steps and short walkways
• Detached garages and alley-side aprons
• Wood fences between closely spaced yards
• Small storefronts and entries along commercial corridors

Old paint and lead

Houses built before 1978 may have lead-based paint. When paint is peeling or chalking badly, pressure washing can scatter chips across the yard. In that situation we recommend testing first and talk through options with you instead of blasting loose paint off. Federal lead-safe work rules can apply to work that disturbs paint on pre-1978 homes.

Renters and landlords

Census estimates show about 49.2% of Englewood homes are owner-occupied, and the average household is 2.01 people. With roughly half of homes not owner-occupied, your property may be a rental or a small multi-unit building. A clean exterior helps between tenants or before a listing photo, so we schedule around move-outs and occupied units alike, wash shared walkways and stairs in sections, and send owners before-and-after notes for their records.

Medical offices and retail corridors

Northeast Englewood holds one of the largest hospital complexes in the metro area, anchored by Swedish Medical Center and Craig Hospital, and the old Cinderella City mall site was redeveloped as a transit-oriented center. Clinics, small offices and shops around these areas need clean, slip-free entrances and walkways. We can work early, before patients and customers arrive, and clean in phases so at least one entrance stays dry and open the whole time.

Keeping water on the property

Englewood sits low in the South Platte River valley, and runoff from its streets heads toward the river. We keep wash water and cleaners away from street inlets by directing flow to grass or gravel, placing short-term covers on inlets or collecting water where the site calls for it. Because Englewood has had its own water supply since 1948, separate from Denver Water, any watering or washing restrictions depend on which provider serves your address; your water bill will name it. Englewood city staff can explain what applies to a given address. Call (720) 419-1995 for a free written estimate; a small-lot house can often be quoted from a few clear photos and a short call.
