Multi-Building Apartment Complexes
Several buildings on one property, washed one building at a time and top down. We settle the full scope with you before the first hose comes out. Then we move building to building until the property is done.

Soft Washing Green Growth Off Apartment Siding
in Essex and Middlesex Properties
Algae, moss, and lichen can build up on apartment buildings, especially on north-facing vinyl siding that stays shaded and damp. Sean’s Property Services treats the growth with a soap and algaecide mix, then rinses the siding with plenty of water instead of high pressure. Call us at 978-995-3110 to discuss cleaning your apartment buildings.
Types of Apartment
Buildings We Clean
We work apartment properties one building at a time, and we set the scope with the property manager before anyone picks up a hose. Two kinds of property make up most of what we clean.
Single Large Multi-Unit Buildings
One long building with a lot of units under a single roofline. We have washed a building of about 45 units this way. It is still one building to us, worked top down from one end to the other.
Why Property Managers Choose Us
to Wash Their Buildings
Three things matter when you hand a complex to a crew. Can they handle the size. Will they hold the quality. And is the paperwork in order.
Equipped for Multi-Building Complexes
We are set up for large exteriors and multi-building complexes. Each building gets the same commercial building washing we bring to any large exterior. We run commercial pressure washers and a hot-water unit, work off multiple crews, and arrive in fully wrapped trucks with an enclosed trailer. The scale of a complex is the kind of job the equipment is built for.
The Same Standard a Homeowner Gets
Every building on your property gets the quality we give a homeowner's house. Nothing about a commercial account means a lighter wash. You get the work done right, you can report it done, and you can move on to the next thing on your list.
Insurance Paperwork Ready Before We Start
We are fully licensed and insured, with general liability, an umbrella policy, workers' compensation, and commercial auto. A W-9 and certificate of insurance are ready on request. That is the paperwork you need in hand before a crew sets foot on the property, and we have it waiting.

How We Wash an Apartment Complex,
From Walkthrough to Invoice
Here is how a complex wash goes with us, from the first walkthrough to the invoice at the end.
The Walkthrough and Free Estimate
Call, text, or use the form, and our office usually picks up. For a commercial property we come out and walk it in person unless the job is straightforward. We work out a price for each building on the property, and the estimate is free.
Setting the Scope and the Paperwork
We agree with you on the scope: which buildings, and which add-on areas go in. Whatever documents your office needs to put us on the property come over on request. If a building has structural or electrical trouble that water would make worse, we flag it here before anything starts.
Accepting the Estimate and Getting Scheduled
We send the estimate over to accept online, and accepting it books the job right away. You get a text and email with your date and a one-hour arrival window. Then come reminders the day before and the day of, plus an on-the-way message with an ETA.
Arrival, Water Hookup, and the Building Check
We let you know when we have arrived and connect to water. Then we check each building before any mix goes on. We look for open windows and anything leaning on the siding. We cover or tape exposed outlets and electrical boxes. We note painted doors that could stain.
Washing One Building at a Time, Top Down
We apply an algaecide and soap mix, with the strength matched to how dirty the building is. The mix does the work on the growth, and we rinse the vinyl down with a high flow of water at low force. Concrete and brick are pressure washed where that is what the surface needs. Then we move to the next building.
The Add-On Areas in Your Scope
Any stairs, walkways, or parking areas you put in the scope get cleaned with a surface cleaner once the buildings are done.
Manager Notified, Crew Packs Up, Invoice Follows
We mark the job finished and let you know. The crew rolls the hoses and packs up. The invoice follows, and commercial customers may be on net terms. If anything is not right because of something we did, we come back.
How We Price Apartment
Complex Work Per Building
We price apartment work per building, by square footage, and we sanity-check that number against the unit count. The final figure comes from the walkthrough estimate.
$600 per building
From $600 per building. That is the starting point for a single building. It climbs with square footage and with how much growth and soil there is to clear, so larger buildings run higher. Add-on areas are priced on top.
Adding Stairs, Walkways, and Parking Areas
to the Scope
Our building price covers the building. Stairs, walkways, parking areas, and dumpster pads are easy to add, just tell us what you want in the scope and we'll price it. A covered parking structure is a different job from open flatwork, and we take those on under parking garage cleaning. Flatwork like this gets cleaned with a surface cleaner on the same visit, once the buildings are finished.
Our Promise
to Come Back and Make It Right
We stand by our work. If something isn't right because of something we did, we'll come back and make it right, no runaround. Send us a photo first and we will take a look, come out ourselves if we need to, and figure out what happened. When it is on us, we fix it. That covers our workmanship, not the normal wear a building picks up over the years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to wash an apartment building?
Most buildings take hours, not days. One building of about 45 units ran about four hours. Total time scales with how many buildings are on the property, so a multi-building complex is planned across the day or days it needs.
Can you set up a recurring exterior cleaning schedule for our complex?
Yes, on request. We can work out a monthly, quarterly, or annual schedule with you, set up case by case for your property. If you also manage an HOA community, we handle exterior cleaning for HOA communities on the same kind of schedule. We do not sell packaged tiers; it is an arrangement we build around what your complex actually needs.
Will you wash a building with structural or electrical damage?
Not where water would make the problem worse. Crumbling concrete, a roof leak reaching an electrical panel, or exposed wiring are the kinds of trouble we will not wash over. We check for it at the walkthrough and tell you straight if we have to pass on a building.
Do we need to supply the water for an apartment complex job?
Yes, commercial customers supply the water for the job. If that is a problem, we can bring water for an added charge. We will sort out which it is during the walkthrough so there are no surprises on the day.
