“Cleanliness is next to godliness,” they say, and when it comes to your business’s exterior, that couldn’t be more true. Picture this: a customer strolls by your storefront and sees faded paint, oil-stained sidewalks, or moldy awnings. Do they stop? Or keep walking to a place that looks clean and inviting?
Here’s the kickee. More than 70% of people judge a business by its curb appeal. First impressions happen in seconds. And if your commercial property looks run-down or dirty, you’re losing foot traffic, trust, and potential sales.
That’s where power washing in Central Jersey comes in. It’s not just about appearances—it’s about protection, safety, and value. At That 1 Painter Central Jersey, we’ve helped businesses across Monmouth, Ocean, Mercer, Somerset, and Burlington Counties transform their spaces with professional power washing. From strip malls to banks, we’ve seen firsthand how a clean property makes all the difference. Let’s dive into how it works and why it’s one of the smartest moves you can make for your business in 2025.
A dingy storefront or grimy parking lot tells a story. And it’s not a good one.
Power washing helps your commercial space send the right message: We care about our space. We care about our customers.
We’ve cleaned up retail fast food spots in Monmouth County, banks in Mercer County, and shopping centers in Ocean County, and the result is always the same—a clean exterior invites people in. Think about it: would you trust a pharmacy with black mold streaking the walls? Probably not.
Power washing removes:
These are more than cosmetic issues. Slippery walkways are a liability. Mold and algae are health risks. Dirt buildup shortens the life of your paint and surfaces. A clean space isn’t just safer—it’s also easier to maintain and much more appealing to passersby.
Your commercial property is exposed to the elements every single day. Sun, wind, rain, snow, road salt, pollution—it all adds up. Over time, these environmental factors don’t just dirty your surfaces—they cause real, lasting damage. Without proper care, what starts as grime can quickly turn into expensive repairs. That’s why routine power washing is essential to prevent property damage and preserve the life of your investment.
One of the biggest threats to commercial buildings in Central Jersey is moisture buildup. Rain and humidity create the perfect conditions for mold, mildew, and algae to grow on exterior surfaces. These organisms may look like surface-level problems, but they’re actually eating away at your materials. We’ve seen countless properties in Ocean and Somerset Counties where untreated mildew led to paint failure, rotting wood, and weakened siding. Power washing removes these threats before they can take root and compromise your building’s structure.
Concrete and brick may seem indestructible, but they aren’t immune either. Dirt, oil, and moss can seep into the pores of these materials, causing cracks, erosion, and early aging. In winter, this trapped moisture can freeze and expand, creating even deeper fractures. Regular commercial property cleaning with pressure washing clears out these harmful contaminants and helps maintain the structural integrity of your surfaces.
Power washing also protects painted exteriors and coated surfaces from peeling, bubbling, and discoloration. Without regular washing, UV exposure and grime create a chalky residue that breaks down your paint layer by layer. Our team at That 1 Painter Central Jersey uses gentle, surface-appropriate cleaning techniques—like soft washing—to remove harmful buildup without stripping away protective finishes.
If your business has metal fixtures, gutters, or railings, those need special care, too. Salt residue and pollution can cause corrosion, rust, and pitting. We use eco-friendly, non-corrosive detergents to clean metal without causing damage, extending the life of these important features.
Here’s the bottom line: Preventing property damage starts with proactive exterior maintenance. Power washing isn’t just about appearances—it’s about protection. A clean building lasts longer, performs better, and costs less to maintain over time. That 1 Painter Central Jersey provides comprehensive commercial power washing services that protect your property from damage while keeping it spotless and inviting for every customer who walks by.
Whether it’s a shopping center in Burlington County, a bank in Mercer County, or a retail store in Monmouth, we bring the tools and experience to clean deeply without causing harm. Don’t wait for cracks, rot, or mold to get worse.
Your commercial property is more than a place of business—it’s an asset. And just like any investment, it gains more value when it’s well cared for. Regular power washing increases property value, improves tenant satisfaction, and enhances your reputation in the community.
We’ve worked with pharmacies in Mercer County and fast food chains in Ocean County that noticed a bump in foot traffic after a fresh wash. Why? Because customers trust what they see. A sparkling sidewalk and spotless siding feel safe, professional, and cared for.
Real estate experts agree—clean, well-maintained buildings rent and sell faster. Whether you’re keeping tenants happy or preparing for a sale, power washing is a smart step to take.
Power washing isn’t one-size-fits-all. The key to success is knowing how to handle different surfaces. Too much pressure can damage paint or soft wood. Too little pressure leaves grime behind. That’s why it pays to hire a team that knows the difference.
At That 1 Painter Central Jersey, we tailor our techniques to your specific property:
We also follow strict safety procedures, including:
Whether we’re cleaning a bank facade in Burlington County or removing gum from a sidewalk in Monmouth County, we bring the equipment and know-how to get it right the first time.
Let’s talk money—because keeping your commercial property clean shouldn’t break the bank. One of the first questions we hear at That 1 Painter Central Jersey is: “How much does it cost to power wash a commercial property?” The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But what we can say for sure is this—power washing is one of the most affordable, high-impact ways to keep your property looking clean, safe, and professional.
For a small storefront, like a café or local boutique, the average cost to power wash and clean the exterior ranges from $500 to $700. These jobs usually involve cleaning entryways, windows, sidewalks, and signage. Because the space is compact and quick to access, it doesn’t take long to restore that clean, fresh look your customers love.
Mid-sized businesses, such as banks, pharmacies, and retail shops, often fall into the $700 to $1,200 range. These properties have more surfaces to clean—think awnings, siding, outdoor furniture, or longer sidewalks. In these cases, we might also clean drive-thru lanes, patios, or trash enclosures to ensure the whole exterior looks spotless. These clean surfaces not only boost appearance but show your clients that you care about every detail.
Larger commercial spaces—like office complexes, strip malls, or shopping centers—can expect to invest between $1,200 and $2,500 or more. Cleaning these bigger areas involves more time, more specialized tools, and more powerful detergents. From deep-cleaning concrete in parking lots to restoring the clean shine of multi-story buildings, these projects require a detailed plan to clean every square inch the right way.
So what affects the final cost? A big factor is square footage. The more there is to clean, the higher the price. But not all surfaces are created equal. Cleaning concrete is different from cleaning painted brick or wood. Some materials need gentler pressure and special cleaners to prevent damage while still achieving a thorough clean. Our team is trained to identify exactly what your surfaces need to get clean—and stay clean.
Accessibility also matters. Hard-to-reach signage, rooftop facades, or tight alleyways require extra effort and equipment. And if your site includes landscaping or delicate features, we’ll take extra care to clean around them safely without causing harm. We always aim to leave your property looking clean, not compromised.
Another detail that affects pricing? How dirty it is. A building that hasn’t been cleaned in years often takes longer and requires more powerful solutions to get truly clean. In contrast, properties that get regular maintenance—like some of our long-time clients in Monmouth and Mercer Counties—are easier and faster to clean. Less buildup means lower costs and cleaner results, every time.
Want to keep things affordable? We recommend scheduling your power washing during off-peak seasons, like early spring or late fall. During these months, you can take advantage of better availability and cleaner price points. You can also prep your property ahead of time by moving outdoor furniture or clearing loose debris—helping us clean more efficiently and saving you money in the process.
At That 1 Painter Central Jersey, we pride ourselves on honest, upfront pricing. We don’t believe in hidden fees or pushing services you don’t need. Instead, we create custom quotes based on the exact areas you want to clean, how often you want them cleaned, and the level of buildup we’re working with. Our goal? To leave your business looking clean, polished, and customer-ready—with no surprises on the invoice.
When you look at the big picture, power washing is an incredible value. It boosts curb appeal, extends the life of your surfaces, reduces liability from slippery areas, and most of all—keeps your business looking clean, professional, and inviting. And with That 1 Painter Central Jersey as your trusted team, you can count on a clean job, a clean finish, and a clean experience from start to finish.
We get it. Renting a pressure washer and tackling a sidewalk sounds doable. And for small jobs, it might be.
But here’s the truth: most commercial spaces have surfaces and challenges that require a professional touch.
