Specialty and On-Demand Cleaning
The jobs that fall outside the nightly routine, handled by the same local crew.
The work that does not fit the nightly schedule
Every building throws up jobs the regular program was never scoped for. The dock apron is black with grease. A tenant has moved out and left their mark on every wall. A pipe let go over the weekend. The owners visit on Thursday and the front of the building has not been washed in years.
This is where those jobs go. Same company, same in-house crews, booked as a project rather than a routine.
If your building sits anywhere inside the service area we cover from Peterborough, this is work we can take on.
Pressure washing and exterior building cleaning
The outside of a building is judged from the parking lot, and it takes the worst of a Kawarthas year: road salt, spring pollen, algae on the shaded elevation, and grease wherever vehicles sit.
We pressure wash hard exterior surfaces and clean exterior building surfaces where the material allows it. The judgement is in the pressure, not the machine. Concrete walks and dock aprons take a very different setting from painted cladding, aged mortar, or a soffit, and a careless setting can drive water where it should not go.
- Sidewalks, entrances, stairs, and ramps
- Loading docks, aprons, and dumpster pads
- Parking areas and drive-through lanes
- Exterior walls, soffits, and signage bands, where the surface allows
- Patios, courtyards, and outdoor seating areas
- Gum, grease, and stain removal on hard exterior surfaces
One-time deep cleans and event cleanup
Some rooms need one hard reset rather than a change to the routine. A kitchen or cafeteria before an inspection, a warehouse mezzanine that has not been touched in years, a staff room the week after a renovation, or a floor plate being handed to a new department.
Events are their own category. A fundraiser, trade show, staff party, or annual meeting generates in one evening what a building normally produces in a month, and the regular crew is not staffed for it. We can take the space back to normal overnight, or reset it between sessions while the event is still running.
Emergency response, around the clock
Emergencies do not wait for office hours, so our emergency contact is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
Water is the usual culprit: a failed supply line, a backed-up drain, a roof that gave way in a thaw. We also get called after fires, break-ins, and vandalism, and for spills across production floors that have to be cleared before a shift can start. The first job is to stop the damage spreading, then clean what can be cleaned and tell you honestly what needs a specialist trade instead.
Move-in and move-out cleaning
Turnovers are unforgiving, because the space is empty and every mark is visible. A move-out clean takes a unit back to the condition the lease or the owner expects: inside cabinets and closets, appliances, fixtures, walls, glass, and the floor where the furniture stood. A move-in clean deals with what the previous tenant and the movers left behind.
Landlords often book both ends of a turnover at once, which keeps arguments about condition short and the unit back on the market sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a single project be booked on its own?
Yes. A good deal of the work on this page is booked as a standalone project: a deep clean before an inspection, a move-out, a spring pressure wash, or a mess that needs sorting before Monday. Where you already have a program with us, one-time work is added to it and appears on the same monthly invoice. Every project is priced on its own scope: see how we price commercial cleaning.
What can be pressure washed at a commercial property?
Sidewalks, entrances, loading docks, ramps, dumpster pads, parking areas, patios, and exterior walls and soffits, depending on the surface and its condition. Pressure is matched to the material, because the setting that lifts oil off concrete will strip paint, damage mortar, or force water behind cladding.
What counts as an emergency you would come out for?
A burst pipe, a sewer backup, a fire or vandalism aftermath, a flooded basement, a spill across a plant floor, or a building that has to be presentable for an unannounced visit in the morning. Emergency contact is available around the clock, 365 days a year.
Can you clean a space before we move in or after we move out?
Yes, in both directions. A move-out clean takes a space back to the condition a lease or an owner expects, cabinets, appliances, and marks on the walls included. A move-in clean deals with what the previous tenant and the movers left behind.
