Apartment Complex Cleaning
in Dacula, GA
Property managers and owners trust us to keep their apartment communities looking clean and well-maintained. From building exteriors to breezeways to pool decks, we handle it all.
Managing an apartment complex is a lot of work. Between handling tenant requests, keeping up with maintenance, and making sure the property stays attractive enough to fill vacancies, the exterior of the buildings can start to slide. Mold creeps up the siding. Walkways turn dark with dirt and algae. The pool deck gets slippery. Breezeways that used to look clean start looking neglected. It happens gradually, and before you know it, the whole property looks tired.
That is where Kidd's ProWash comes in. We have been working with apartment complexes and multi-unit property managers across Dacula, Lawrenceville, Buford, Suwanee, Duluth, Grayson, and Snellville for five years. Chase started this company with the idea that people matter more than profits, and that goes for property managers and their residents alike. We show up when scheduled, do thorough work, and leave the property looking like move-in day.
What We Clean at Apartment Complexes
Apartment communities have a lot of exterior surfaces, and they all get dirty in different ways. We handle every part of the property that faces the outside:
Surfaces We Cover
We can do the entire complex in one project, or we can work building by building over several visits if that fits your budget and schedule better. Many property managers we work with in Gwinnett County set up a rolling schedule where we clean a section of the property each month so it always looks maintained.
Why Georgia Weather Is Hard on Apartment Complexes
If you manage a property in Gwinnett County, you already know how quickly things can go from clean to dirty out here. The Georgia climate works against you in every season.
Spring
Pollen blankets everything from March through June. Sidewalks, building walls, railings, and pool decks all get coated in that yellow-green film. It looks awful and it feeds mold growth underneath.
Summer
Humidity and heat create ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and algae. Breezeways and covered walkways are especially bad because they stay shaded and damp. Summer storms dump rain and red clay everywhere.
Fall
Leaves pile up in corners, against buildings, and in breezeways. When they get wet and sit there, they stain concrete and create slippery, decomposing mats that look and smell bad.
Winter
Georgia winters are wet. Cooler temperatures slow down drying, which means moisture stays on surfaces longer and feeds dark mold and mildew growth. By February, most untreated buildings have visible growth.
The bottom line is that apartment complexes in this area need regular exterior cleaning to stay looking good. Once or twice a year is the bare minimum. Properties near wooded areas - and there are plenty of those around Harbins Road, Fence Road, and the areas between Dacula and Auburn - usually need more frequent attention.
How We Work With Property Managers
We know that working at apartment complexes is different from working at a single-family home. There are tenants to think about. There are cars in the way. There are schedules to coordinate and budgets to stick to. We have done this enough times to know how to handle all of it smoothly.
Communication
We work with you to plan the project before we set foot on the property. That includes discussing scope, scheduling, tenant notification needs, and any areas that need special attention. Progress photos or a final recap - whatever you prefer.
Scheduling
We can work during the week, on weekends, or early mornings depending on what makes sense for your property. For building washing on units that face parking areas, we coordinate car moves through your management office.
Budgeting
We understand that property managers work with annual budgets and need predictable costs. We provide detailed, written quotes. If you prefer to spread the work across months, we can break the project into phases.
Insurance
We carry full commercial liability insurance and can provide certificates of insurance for your files. We know property management companies need this documentation, and we have it ready to go.
Building Exterior Washing for Multi-Unit Properties
The building exteriors are the most visible part of any apartment complex. When the siding is covered in mold, mildew, or dirt, it makes the whole property look run-down - even if the interiors are beautiful and well-maintained.
We soft wash apartment building exteriors using low-pressure water and professional cleaning solutions. This approach is safe for all siding types and kills the organic growth at the root, so the results last much longer than a basic power rinse. We work building by building, section by section, and we protect plants, landscaping, and tenant belongings throughout the process.
For properties along Highway 316 or Sugarloaf Parkway, buildings that face the road tend to accumulate exhaust grime and road film faster than interior-facing buildings. We adjust our approach for those high-exposure sides to make sure they get the extra attention they need.
Walkways, Breezeways, and Stairwells
These are the areas tenants use every single day, and they are often the dirtiest parts of the property. Breezeways stay shaded and trap moisture, which makes them magnets for mold and mildew. Stairwells collect dirt, debris, and tracked-in clay from foot traffic. Sidewalks get covered in gum, pollen, and stains that make the property look neglected.
We surface clean all walkways and use targeted treatments on breezeways and stairwells to remove organic growth and deep stains. The transformation is often the most dramatic part of the entire project - concrete that looked dark and dirty comes out looking two shades lighter.
Pool Decks and Common Areas
Pool areas are high-visibility spaces where residents spend time and prospective tenants get their first look at the community. A dirty pool deck covered in algae and mold does not exactly make someone want to sign a lease. Plus, algae on pool decks is a slip-and-fall hazard that no property manager wants to deal with.
We clean pool decks, surrounding fencing, furniture surfaces, and the walkways leading to and from the pool area. We work with your schedule to make sure the pool area is ready for residents to use as quickly as possible after cleaning.
Dumpster Areas and Service Zones
The dumpster area is one of the most overlooked parts of any apartment complex, but it is also one of the most impactful when it comes to tenant satisfaction. A stained, smelly dumpster pad attracts pests, creates odor complaints, and looks terrible. We clean and sanitize dumpster enclosures and pads to remove grease, food residue, and organic buildup.
We also clean service areas, maintenance building exteriors, and any other back-of-house surfaces that affect the overall property appearance.
How Clean Exteriors Help Your Bottom Line
Curb Appeal Drives Occupancy
When prospective tenants pull into your parking lot, the exterior is the first thing they see. Clean buildings, walkways, and a well-maintained pool area help fill vacancies faster.
Tenant Retention Improves
Residents who are proud of where they live are more likely to renew their leases. Nobody wants to bring friends to a complex that looks dirty and neglected.
Maintenance Costs Drop
Mold, mildew, and algae hold moisture against surfaces, which accelerates wear on siding, paint, and wood trim. Regular cleaning extends the life of these materials.
Liability Goes Down
Slippery walkways and algae-covered stairs are a slip-and-fall risk. Keeping these surfaces clean reduces your exposure.
Why Kidd's ProWash for Apartment Complexes
Chase Kidd grew up in construction, spent time as a software engineer at GM, and then built Kidd's ProWash from the ground up here in Dacula. He understands both the technical side of cleaning building materials and the business side of working with property managers who need reliable, budget-conscious service.
We have worked with apartment communities throughout Gwinnett County - from smaller complexes near Fence Road and Harbins Road to larger properties in Lawrenceville, Suwanee, and Duluth. We know the logistics, we know the materials, and we know how to get the job done without disrupting your residents.
If you manage multiple properties, we can set up recurring service agreements that cover all of them. Many of our property management clients also use our parking lot cleaning service to keep their lots and covered parking areas looking sharp between resurfacing cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing is based on the number of buildings, total square footage of surfaces being cleaned, and the scope of work. We provide detailed written quotes after an on-site walkthrough. Most complexes find that regular cleaning is very cost-effective when measured against tenant satisfaction, vacancy rates, and avoided maintenance costs.
That depends on the size of the property. A small complex with four to six buildings might take one to two days. Larger communities can take several days to a week. We will give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan and notify residents if needed.
Sometimes, yes - especially when we are cleaning buildings that face parking areas. We work with your management office to notify tenants in advance and give them specific time windows for each building.
Absolutely. We do this all the time. We let residents know when we will be working near their unit, and we keep walkways clear and safe throughout the process.
