Commercial Stucco Building Wash in Alpharetta, GA

Pressure-washed the full exterior facade of a commercial storefront building in Alpharetta, GA. The building had a stucco exterior with arched storefront windows, a covered entrance vestibule with a tile floor, and decorative soffit detailing around the entry arch. The before photos tell the story pretty clearly: the stucco had picked up a season's worth of dirt, grime, and biological buildup, and the facade trim around the arched windows had gone from light cream to a dingy grey.

Stucco needs a low-pressure approach. It's a porous surface and a high-pressure stream will open the pores, pit the finish, and drive water behind the exterior layer where it doesn't belong. We ran a soft-wash pass across the full facade using a sodium-hypochlorite-based mix with surfactant, applied bottom-up and allowed to dwell before rinsing. The surfactant helps the chemistry cling to the vertical stucco face instead of sheeting off before it can work.

The entrance vestibule got extra attention. The soffit above the arch and the tile floor at the entry threshold both collect a lot of foot-traffic grime and, in a covered space, don't get the benefit of rain cycles to self-rinse. We worked the soffit panels and the chandelier area carefully at low pressure to avoid forcing water into the light fixtures, then rinsed the tile floor at the end of the job so any runoff from the upper surfaces had already cleared before we cleaned the ground level.

The arched storefront windows were rinsed clean as part of the exterior pass. After-shot photos show the stucco back to its original light tone and the trim detailing crisp again around each arch. For an Alpharetta commercial property that sees steady foot traffic, keeping that facade clean makes a real difference in first impressions.
