Why commercial flatwork matters

Property managers want a reliable vendor with insurance proof, photo reports, and predictable scheduling for the dirty surfaces that residential vendors won't touch on a recurring basis. We deliver all three on a monthly or quarterly contract, and we keep the scope honest (flatwork only, water source within 300 feet).

How we do commercial flatwork, step by step

Every job runs the same way, in the same order, every time. Here's the standard.

1. Walk the property

Identify scope, water source, access constraints.

2. Quote scope

Per-visit and recurring pricing options.

3. Sign + schedule

Contract or PO, recurring on the calendar.

4. Photo report

Sent after every visit for the property file.

The four-step flatwork cleaning sequence Four steps in order: pre-rinse landscaping, pre-treat and dwell, surface clean, post-rinse. Steps one, two and four are the ones lower-priced operators commonly skip. 01 Pre-rinse
Landscaping soaked with fresh water first, before any chemistry exists.
commonly skipped 02 Pre-treat + dwell
Degreaser on oil, algaecide on shaded growth, then it has to sit.
commonly skipped 03 Surface clean
16-inch head, even passes at the PSI the material can take.
04 Post-rinse
Beds rinsed again, residue carried off instead of drying on the slab.
commonly skipped A wash is four steps. Most quotes only pay for one. Pre-treated algae is killed at the root, so it takes 2–3× longer to come back than a rinse-only wash.
