Brick alleys, century-old storefronts and public parking structures make Old Pasadena one of the harder places in the county to clean well. Pressure that suits a warehouse slab will chew up historic mortar, and wash water cannot simply run down an alley toward the Arroyo. Pressurize Washing Systems works here with adjustable pressure, hot water and recovery equipment, and we set the method to the surface before we start. East of downtown the work changes to larger retail centers around Hastings Ranch, medical and research buildings, and fuel stations along the 210. Our crew of five comes over from Chino, mostly at night, and we offer a free on-site demo so a property manager can see a cleaned section of their own sidewalk or garage deck first.

Commercial properties we clean in Pasadena

Historic retail blocks, public and private parking structures, office buildings, hospital and research campuses, hotels, auto dealers and neighborhood shopping centers make up most of the commercial property. Structures need deck degreasing and stairwell cleaning. Storefront blocks need gentle sidewalk and facade washing, gum removal and commercial windows. Centers near the freeway want lots, drive-thru lanes and dumpster pads done on a schedule. We also handle post-construction wash downs on tenant improvements and new mixed-use buildings.

What Pasadena does to concrete and buildings

This city sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, so summers are hotter than the basin and Santa Ana winds come down the canyons with dust, leaves and, in bad fire years, ash. Big old street trees are part of the place, and oaks, camphors and jacarandas leave tannin stains, sap and blossoms on sidewalks and parking decks. The 210 and 134 add soot along the freeway frontage. Shaded brick and north-facing walls hold moisture after winter rain and turn green. Colorado Boulevard takes a concentrated dose of foot traffic and spills around New Year's and every Rose Bowl event.

Where the wash water goes

Drains on the west side of the city lead to the Arroyo Seco and on the east side to Eaton Wash, and both end up in the Los Angeles River system. We contain and recover wash water so it stays out of the gutters.

Our specialty

Gas station cleaning in Pasadena

Most stations here sit near the 210 exits at Lake, Hill and Allen avenues and out toward Rosemead Boulevard, or on Colorado Boulevard, Fair Oaks Avenue and Arroyo Parkway where the 110 lets out. Commuter traffic is steady all day, and the foothill heat sets drips quickly in summer. Many of these lots are small and back up to homes, so we plan a quiet setup, work one island at a time and keep hoses out of the drive lanes. Canopies pick up freeway soot and leaf debris, and we wash them along with the pads, dispensers and walkways.

We maintain more than 200 stations across California. Fuel islands, canopies, forecourts and store fronts are washed overnight with hot water, one island at a time, and the wash water is recovered.

  • Pressurize Washing Systems did an outstanding job with the post-construction wash down at my gas station. They were prompt, professional, and paid attention to every detail. The entire site looked spotless and ready for opening. Highly recommend them for any commercial cleaning needs — 5 stars!

    George K. Google review · Post-construction, gas station
  • We needed someone to pressure wash our 10,000 sf building and clean the large windows at a time when the building was not in use. Jorge was accommodating and did the work on the weekend. He and his crew were efficient, affordable and friendly. I appreciated the attention to detail and ease of communication with Jorge. I would highly recommend Pressurize Washing Systems and will be using them again in the future.

Pasadena FAQs

Commercial pressure washing in Pasadena: your questions

Can you clean brick and historic storefronts without damaging them?

Yes. Older brick, soft mortar and painted masonry get lower pressure, wider tips and more reliance on hot water and detergent than on force. We test a small area first, which is what our free demo is for, and we will tell you plainly if a surface should not be pressure washed at all.

How do you schedule around the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl events?

Property managers along Colorado Boulevard and near the stadium usually want a wash shortly before a big event and another right after. We book those nights ahead of time, work after the streets clear and bring enough crew to get sidewalks, entries and lots done before businesses open the next morning.

Where do you come from and how long is the drive?

Our shop is in Chino, about 32 miles away. Off-peak it is roughly 35 minutes up the 57 and west on the 210. We cover every part of the city, from the Arroyo to the eastern edge past Hastings Ranch, and we can pair jobs here with work in neighboring foothill cities.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Pressurize Washing Systems LLC holds California contractor license CSLB #1152154 and is insured. We send a certificate of insurance to your property manager or brand on request.

What is the free on-site demo?

Before you commit, we come out and wash a test patch on your worst concrete. You see exactly what our hot water equipment does on your surface, and we see what the job needs. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
