We Wash in Baltimore: Exterior Cleaning for Residential and Commercial Properties
We Wash is a pressure-washing and exterior-cleaning company serving Baltimore and surrounding areas, handling house siding, driveways, decks, and commercial storefronts. The operation focuses on high-pressure washing and soft-wash techniques for different surfaces, operating as a regional service rather than a one-person operation.
What We Wash actually does
We Wash provides pressure washing and chemical cleaning for residential homes and small commercial properties across Baltimore County and the city. The company uses both high-pressure equipment for concrete and masonry and softer wash methods for siding, wood decks, and surfaces prone to damage. Standard jobs include house exterior cleaning, driveway and sidewalk restoration, deck preparation, and storefront cleaning. The company does not handle interior house cleaning, gutter cleaning as a primary service, or large-scale industrial pressure washing.
Services and pricing
Residential house washing typically runs $250 to $450 depending on square footage and siding condition; a 2,000-square-foot home with moderate dirt and algae falls in the $300 to $350 range. Driveway cleaning costs $150 to $300 for a standard two-car driveway, with pricing varying by concrete condition and staining severity. Deck cleaning and sealing is priced per square foot, generally $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot depending on wood type and whether sealing is included. Commercial storefront cleaning is usually quoted per visit and depends on frontage and frequency; monthly contracts for small retail spaces run $100 to $200 per visit.
We Wash charges a travel fee for jobs more than 15 miles from central Baltimore, typically $25 to $50 depending on distance. Most jobs are booked with 3 to 7 days notice; emergency or next-day service may carry a 20 percent rush fee. Confirm current pricing by phone or estimate request, as seasonal demand affects availability and turnaround.
How We Wash compares to other Baltimore exterior cleaners
Baltimore has two broad categories of exterior cleaning: large regional franchises like Sunshine Services or JarHead Cleaning, and independent operators. We Wash sits between scale and local knowledge. Franchise operations often guarantee response within 48 hours and offer package discounts for multiple services (gutter cleaning, window washing, power washing combined), but may charge higher per-job rates ($400 to $600 for house washing) and assign rotating crews unfamiliar with repeat clients. Independent one-person operations in Baltimore typically undercut We Wash by 15 to 25 percent but offer limited availability and no insurance guarantee.
Choose We Wash if you want a middle ground: faster turnaround than a solo operator, lower pricing than a franchise, and a company large enough to carry liability insurance and handle larger properties. Choose a franchise if you need gutter cleaning bundled with exterior washing or if you live in outer Baltimore County where independents are sparse. Choose a solo operator if you live in Fed Hill or Canton and want the cheapest option for a one-time driveway clean.
Who We Wash suits and who it does not
We Wash works well for homeowners with 1,500 to 3,500-square-foot properties in Baltimore and Baltimore County who want their house cleaned without hiring a full-service property maintenance company. It also serves small retail tenants and property managers handling multiple storefronts. The company is not the right fit for customers needing gutter cleaning as the primary job, those in rural Howard or Anne Arundel counties where travel fees make the service uneconomical, or properties requiring specialized restoration (e.g., historical brick repointing, slate roof cleaning).
What the first visit involves
A first-time customer calls or texts a photo of the area to be cleaned; We Wash typically responds with a phone estimate within 24 hours. An on-site estimate takes 15 to 30 minutes and is free. The crew confirms the surface type, discusses any concerns (e.g., delicate siding, nearby plants), and provides a written quote before work begins. Payment is due upon completion, and the company accepts cash, check, and digital payment. Most jobs take 2 to 6 hours depending on scope; the customer should expect water runoff and noise during the process and ensure vehicles and outdoor furniture are moved clear beforehand.
Hours, parking, and logistics
We Wash operates Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with occasional Sunday availability for commercial jobs. No appointment scheduling is available online; booking requires a phone call to (410) [number redacted for verification]. The company sends crews to your address; no parking or shop visit is required. Jobs are typically scheduled within 5 to 14 days depending on season. Spring and early summer book faster than fall and winter.
We Wash handles the logistics of bringing equipment and water supply; customers need only ensure the driveway is clear and that the crew can access electrical outlets or a garden hose if needed for rinsing. For properties without easily accessible water, the company charges an additional $50 to $75 for water delivery.
We Wash fills a gap between low-cost independents and premium franchises, making it a practical choice for Baltimore homeowners who want reliable turnaround and insured work without premium pricing.
