Power Washing and Roof Cleaning Forum

It's been a while since I posted, things have been crazy busy (business & personal) and just now starting to get my head above water. I posted a mock up for this job back in May, and we actually cleaned the mall in June, but I am just getting around to post some pics. It was our largest project to date and took six full nights (10PM to 7AM) to complete in full. The last time they had this building cleaned was 10 years ago and it took them three and half weeks to complete. We were the second highest bidder this time around, but our schedule of work swung the award of contract our way. We softwashed the entire project, all sides, except one major chain department store. We used over 1100 gallons of SH and it took 8 crew members and 3 to four rigs running the entire job. We rented multiple light towers and two lifts, one for each side. A 135' lift and 80' lift. It was easier to rent two lifts and not drive them around the mall with the crazy safety set up for traffic regulations. The mall was extremely dirty with emissions and a ton of mold. Some areas of the precast actually had moss growing on it. The owner and GC we worked for were very happy and hopefully we will get some more work from them, as they own over 250 malls and outlets in the US. Our contract was a small piece of a large $117 million dollar renovation that has just now been completed, but it made the mall look new again.
