Exterior Building Cleaning for Commercial & Historic Structures

Exterior building cleaning is a critical component of long-term façade maintenance for commercial, institutional, and historic structures. Over time, masonry and exterior substrates accumulate environmental pollutants, organic growth, staining, and debris that can negatively impact both the appearance and performance of the building envelope.

Midwest Maintenance Inc. provides professional exterior building cleaning services for commercial and historic properties throughout the Midwest and beyond. Currently licensed in 14 states, our team performs façade cleaning and restoration services for office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, industrial properties, multi-family housing, and historic structures nationwide.

Our experienced technicians utilize low-pressure water cleaning systems, soft-bristle brushes, and substrate-specific detergents designed to safely remove years — and often decades — of buildup without damaging masonry materials or historic architectural elements.

We effectively remove:

• Dirt and atmospheric pollution staining

• Mold and mildew growth

• Algae and moss buildup

• Efflorescence and mineral deposits

• Carbon staining

• Organic biological growth

• Surface debris and discoloration

Midwest Maintenance specializes in cleaning a variety of commercial exterior substrates including:

• Brick masonry

• Natural stone

• Limestone

• Precast concrete

• Architectural metal panels

• Historic wood components

Historic and aging masonry surfaces require a controlled restoration approach. High-pressure washing methods can erode mortar joints and permanently damage building materials. Our exterior cleaning process follows industry-approved low-pressure techniques to restore the original appearance of your structure while maintaining the integrity of the building façade.

Utilizing professional scaffolding systems and manlifts, our crews are equipped to safely access all elevations to ensure a consistent and thorough cleaning across the entire building exterior.

Exterior building cleaning is often the first step prior to tuckpointing, masonry waterproofing, joint sealant replacement, or full façade restoration — and plays a vital role in protecting the long-term value of your commercial property.
