Rangely’s dry climate means dust settles on everything, and it doesn’t wash away on its own because it rarely rains enough to do the job. Add oil drips from work trucks, mud from lease roads, and the salt and grit that come with winter, and buildings and pavement start looking tired long before they actually are.
We pressure wash siding, concrete walks and drives, shop entries, loading areas, fences, decks, and equipment pads. The key is using the right pressure for each surface. Concrete can take a lot, while vinyl siding, painted trim, and soft wood need a gentler approach with soft washing and the right cleaner. We plan each job around what’s being cleaned, where the water goes, and what you want the place to look like when we’re done.
We know how Rangely's dust, oilfield traffic, and winter grit build up, so we plan cleanings that target what's actually there.
We carry pressure washers, surface cleaners, soft wash gear, and degreasers, so siding and concrete get handled on the same visit.
If a surface is too fragile for pressure or needs repair more than cleaning, we tell you before we pull the trigger.
We protect plants and fixtures, manage runoff, and rinse away loose debris so the property is ready to use when we leave.
Rangely only gets about 11 inches of precipitation in a typical year, so dust doesn’t get rinsed off by the weather. It builds up on siding, windows, and walkways in a fine layer that turns into streaks every time a short rain shower hits. In winter, plows and tires throw grit and salt onto walls and entries. Summer brings intense sun that bakes grime into painted surfaces, which makes it harder to wash off the longer it sits. A couple of good cleanings a year keeps all of that from building up, and it makes damage much easier to spot.
The Rangely Oil Field is the backbone of the local economy, and the trucks, rigs, and equipment that support it bring oil, mud, and drilling grime right up to the shop door. Concrete pads in front of service bays, equipment yard slabs, and wash areas soak up oil over time, leaving dark stains that also make the surface slick. We use degreasers and hot or high pressure water where the surface can handle it to lift those stains. Oily wash water shouldn’t go down storm drains, so we plan where runoff goes before we start. If cleaning reveals cracked or flaking concrete, our concrete sealing service can protect the slab once it’s dry.
For houses and rental properties, washing is usually about curb appeal and getting ready for paint or a new tenant. Siding, soffits, porches, and driveways all collect dust and grime, and a clean exterior photographs better if you’re listing a rental. We use soft washing for siding and painted trim, which uses lower pressure and cleaning solution so we don’t strip paint or force water behind the panels. Driveways and sidewalks get a higher pressure surface cleaner for an even finish without zebra stripes. Gutters, porch ceilings, and window frames are easy to overlook, so we hit those as well. Landlords like scheduling a wash right after a tenant moves out, since a clean exterior makes it much easier to see what needs repair or paint before the next lease starts. It also makes for better listing photos.
Almost any exterior surface can be cleaned if the method fits the material. The jobs we see most often include:
On wood, we keep pressure low enough to avoid raising the grain. Cleaning a fence often exposes loose boards and leaning posts, and our fence repair service can fix those while the fence is clean and easy to inspect.
Late spring is the most popular time. Winter grime and salt come off before summer sun bakes them in, and the warm days let everything dry fast. Early fall is the other good window, especially if you want a clean, dry surface before applying sealer to concrete or stain to a deck. We avoid washing when overnight temperatures are near freezing, because water left in cracks and joints can freeze and do damage. With July highs in the low 90s, we also avoid letting cleaners dry on hot siding in direct sun, so we work shaded sides at the right time of day.
Washing is often step one of a bigger project. Sealers, stains, and paint all stick better to a clean surface, and that’s true for asphalt as well as concrete. If you own a parking lot, a thorough cleaning before parking lot sealcoating helps the new coat bond and last. Tell us what comes next and we’ll time the washing so the surface is clean and dry when the next crew is ready.
We look at every surface, note stains and damage, check where runoff will go, and ask what result you're hoping for.
You get a free quote listing surfaces, methods, and any degreasing or soft washing so you know exactly what's included.
We protect windows and plants, wash each surface at the right pressure, and treat oil stains and heavy grime separately.
We walk the property with you, touch up any spots you notice, and point out cracks or wear the cleaning revealed.
