HOA and Condo Community Pressure Washing in Lexington, KY
HOA and condo pressure washing in Lexington cleans the shared areas of a community, such as entrances, sidewalks, curbs, and clubhouse decks. Those areas collect algae, mildew, and road grime between board meetings. We clean them on a schedule the board approves, and residents aren’t surprised because they hear about it first. Condo associations get the same service for shared walkways, stairs, and entries. For stores and offices, see our commercial pressure washing service. Here’s how HOA work goes.
- Typical cost: $0.20 to $0.40 per square foot for most concrete, quoted after a walkthrough of the common areas
- Method: surface cleaners on sidewalks and curbs, soft wash on siding and painted trim, hot water and degreaser on grease
- How often: once or twice a year for most communities, and more often in heavy shade
- Guarantee: 30 days, and we clean the area again at no charge if buildup returns
Why Do Lexington Neighborhoods Need Regular Exterior Cleaning?
Lexington neighborhoods need regular exterior cleaning because shaded sidewalks, curbs, and entrance walls stay damp and grow algae and mildew. Read why the growth keeps coming back in our algae guide. Clean common areas also help a community look cared for, and that matters when a home goes on the market.
Sidewalks matter most for safety. Algae on a wet sidewalk is slippery, so it’s worth removing before someone slips. Winter adds a second problem, because Lexington’s freeze and thaw cycles crack concrete and tracked-in road salt makes the damage worse. We cover both in our Lexington exterior problems guide, including how to tell which one you have.
What Gets Cleaned in an HOA Community?
An HOA cleaning visit covers entrance signs, sidewalks, curbs, driveways, mailbox clusters, fences, and clubhouse decks, and each area gets its own method.
Area | How we clean it |
Entrance signs and monuments | Low pressure and a cleaning solution lift algae from stone, brick, and painted faces, so mortar and paint stay intact. |
Sidewalks and curbs | A surface cleaner makes even passes, then shaded stretches get a mildew treatment before the final rinse. |
Driveways and guest parking | Surface cleaners handle open concrete. Oil spots get degreaser and hot water, and we’ll cover nearby storm drains. |
Mailbox clusters and trash enclosures | Hot water and degreaser cut grease, and we pick up the wash water on greasy spots. Rust running from metal posts or boxes? See our guide on rust stain removal. |
Fences and retaining walls | A gentle soft wash cleans the surface, so wood grain and mortar joints stay in good shape. |
Clubhouse and pool decks | A surface cleaner works the deck, and we don’t schedule over pool hours or events. |
Can an HOA Require Homeowners to Pressure Wash?
An HOA can require pressure washing only when the community’s own documents allow it. Kentucky’s Planned Community Act doesn’t give a board the power to fine anyone on its own, so any fine has to come from the declaration or bylaws.
Before a board charges a fine, KRS 381.797 says it must give the owner a written notice and a chance to be heard. Condos fall under a different law, the Kentucky Condominium Act, so a condo board should check its own rules.
We’re not lawyers, and nothing here replaces advice from an attorney. What we can say from the cleaning side is simple. Read the notice for the exact area it names, whether that’s the driveway, the siding, or the sidewalk. Washing a different part of the property doesn’t answer the notice, and a call to the management company before booking costs nothing.
How Do We Keep Residents Informed Before a Wash?
We keep residents informed with a written notice that the board sends to every household a few days before the wash. Clear notice matters because open windows and screen doors are where trouble starts when a crew shows up unannounced.
The notice template we provide lists the dates and areas. It asks residents to close and lock windows and doors, move cars, grills, and patio furniture out of the work zone, and cover or remove anything delicate, like a doorbell camera. Our crew keeps spray away from windows, screens, door seals, and doorbell cameras, but a closed window is still the best protection.
Shared driveways and walkways get the same notice sent to every owner who uses them, so one neighbor doesn’t end up carrying the whole job.
Who Pays If Something Gets Damaged?
The association or its contractor is responsible for damage caused during a wash. In a Kentucky planned community, KRS 381.789 says damage to common areas, lots, or homes from granted access is the responsibility of the association or its agent.
In plain terms, the board answers for its contractor, so the crew you hire matters. We carry active general liability insurance, and we’ll send a certificate of insurance on request.
Before we start, we photograph any damage that’s already there, like cracked concrete, torn screens, and faded trim, so everyone begins with the same facts. A resident who sees damage should tell the manager the same day, with a photo if possible, so it gets handled quickly.
What Do We Use Around Plants and Outdoor Furniture?
We use a cleaning solution built on sodium hypochlorite, the same active ingredient as household bleach, mixed down to a controlled strength. The solution can leave a smell like pool shock while it works, and full-strength bleach can ruin plants and outdoor furniture. That’s why we ask residents to move furniture and grills away from the work zone.
We soak plants and grass near the work with plain water first, cover delicate beds, and rinse again afterward. Our guide to grass, plants, and pets explains the full routine.
How Often Should an HOA Schedule Pressure Washing?
An HOA community should schedule pressure washing once or twice a year. A spring visit clears winter grime and algae before pool season, and a fall visit removes leaves, mildew, and summer buildup before freeze and thaw weather. Heavily shaded sidewalks may need a third visit.
A recurring plan keeps the work predictable for the budget, and plan visits cost less than a first deep clean because the heavy buildup is already gone. For the best months, see our scheduling guide.
Our Process for HOA Communities
Walkthrough and Scope
We walk the community with the board or manager and list every entrance, sidewalk, and shared area to clean.
Board Approval and Notice
You get a written estimate for the board to approve. Then the board sends the resident notice we provide a few days ahead.
Section-by-Section Cleaning
We work one section at a time, so paths stay open. Siding and fences get a soft wash, and flat concrete gets a surface cleaner.
Rinse & Photo Report
We rinse, keep wash water away from storm drains, and we’ll send the board photos of the finished areas.
How Much Does HOA Pressure Washing Cost in Lexington, KY?
HOA pressure washing in Lexington usually costs $0.20 to $0.40 per square foot for concrete. We quote after a walkthrough of the common areas, because sidewalk length, entrances, and buildup change the scope. When the board books the whole community in one visit, we offer a bulk rate, and spring and fall plan visits cost less than a first deep clean. Ranges for other services are in our pricing guide.
- Total square footage of sidewalks, curbs, and pads
- Number of entrances, signs, and shared buildings
- How heavy the algae, mildew, or grease buildup is
- Water access on site and pickup needs near storm drains
