The Commercial Property Manager's Exterior Maintenance Guide
A yearly playbook for keeping commercial exteriors clean, compliant and beautiful.
Why Exterior Cleaning Belongs in Your Budget
First impressions drive tenant retention, foot traffic and lease-up speed. Exterior maintenance is one of the highest-ROI line items on any commercial property budget.
Recommended Cleaning Cadence
Storefronts and entrances: weekly to monthly
Sidewalks and walkways: quarterly
Parking lots: quarterly to semi-annually
Building facades: annually
Dumpster pads: monthly for food service
Working with a Vendor
Insist on COI, written scopes, photo documentation and a single point of contact. Wild West Washing provides all of these as standard.
Managing Tenants and Neighbors
Great vendors notify tenants, work off-hours when needed and never disrupt the customer experience.
