Condo pressure washing in Toronto is a scheduling and paperwork job as much as a cleaning job. Boards and property managers need entrances, courtyards, balconies and garages cleaned without upsetting residents, without dirty water reaching the storm drain, and with a COI and photo report that drop straight into the next board package. That is what our strata contracts are built to deliver.
Why Do Condo Exteriors in Toronto Wear So Quickly?
A condo entrance takes more foot traffic in a week than most homes see in a year. Every winter, salt is tracked across entrance pavers, spread on ramps and splashed onto lower facades. Freeze-thaw cycles open joints in plaza pavers and podium decks. Shaded north elevations, especially near the lake in The Beaches, Humber Bay Shores and Harbourfront, grow green algae on brick and stucco. Balcony railings collect city grime and bird droppings.
Left alone, that wear shows up as complaints at the AGM, slip risks at the front door, and reserve fund items that arrive years earlier than planned. Regular washing does not just improve curb appeal. It slows the damage that salt and biological growth do to concrete, mortar and coatings.
What Is Included in Strata and Condo Pressure Washing?
A typical contract covers some or all of these surfaces:
- Entrance plazas, walkways and front steps
- Courtyards, podium terraces and amenity decks
- Balconies, railings and balcony glass (with resident co-operation)
- Low-rise and podium facades in brick, stucco, EIFS or metal panel
- Garage ramps and underground parking levels
- Dumpster rooms, loading areas and bin enclosures
We use a SoftWash low-pressure line with diluted sodium hypochlorite on facades and anywhere algae is growing, cold-water pressure and rotary surface cleaners on pavers and concrete, and 200F hot water for salt and oil in garages and on ramps.
How Do Strata Contracts Work?
Contract and pricing table
| Contract | What it suits | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Spring + Fall package | Single building, entrances and walkways | $450-$850 per visit (saves about 15%) |
| Quarterly | Busy entrances, courtyards and ramps | Fixed per-visit rate |
| Monthly | High-traffic downtown towers | Fixed per-visit rate |
| Annual (3-building) | Multi-building strata with garages and facades | $5K-$18K per year |
Per-visit pricing is locked for 12 months and contract clients get priority dispatch, which matters when a spill or graffiti tag needs attention before the weekend.
COI delivery in 24 hours
Send the corporation’s legal name and management company details and the certificate of insurance arrives within one business day. It shows $2M commercial general liability, policy dates and your corporation as additional insured, with our WSIB clearance certificate attached. No chasing, no week-long wait before the first visit can be booked.
Hydrovac wastewater containment (Toronto Municipal Code 681)
Condo sites are full of catch basins: at the curb, in courtyards and at the bottom of every garage ramp. Before washing, drain cover mats go down and berms guide runoff. Our on-truck hydrovac recovers the wash water and, in garages, the sediment from sump pits. That keeps salty, soapy water out of the storm system and keeps the corporation clear of Toronto Municipal Code 681 issues.
Weekend Scheduling and Resident Communication
Residents notice two things: wet areas they did not expect and noise at the wrong hour. We plan around both. Visits run on weekend mornings or early weekdays, one zone at a time, with at least one entrance kept dry and passable. We provide notice wording for elevators, lobbies and resident portals two weeks ahead, with a reminder two days before. Balcony washing comes with simple instructions for residents to clear furniture and close doors.
When Should a Condo Book Pressure Washing?
- Spring, after the last salting, for entrances, ramps and walkways.
- Fall, before freeze-up, for algae on facades, leaf tannins on pavers and grime on balcony railings.
- Before an engineer’s membrane or building condition review, so surfaces can actually be inspected.
- Before an AGM, open house or lease-up, when first impressions matter most.
How Much Does Condo Pressure Washing Cost?
A three-building strata annual contract typically runs $5K-$18K per year depending on surface area, garage levels, facade height and frequency. Single-building sites often start with the Spring + Fall package at $450-$850 per visit. Garages are priced per level or square foot after a site walk. Every quote is written per surface, and contract rates stay fixed for 12 months.
