HOA Exterior Cleaning Services

Professional HOA Exterior Cleaning
by Clear Vision Cleaning Services
Property managers in the Lansing area carry enough. When a building face turns green, when a shared walkway becomes a slip risk, when gutters are backing up near the clubhouse entrance, the calls land on your desk. You need a contractor who works through you, protects the property while people are living in it, and shows up the way they said they would.
Clear Vision Cleaning Services has been working with managed communities and commercial accounts throughout the Lansing area since 2020. Stephen Bangs built this company on one straightforward principle: the client should not have to chase the vendor. We coordinate through you, document everything before and after the job, and handle the process so you can stay focused on running the property.
To request a free in-person estimate for your community, call us or reach out using our contact form. We do not quote managed properties over the phone because a walk-through is the only honest way to scope a job like this.
What Exterior Cleaning Costs for a Managed Property
Pricing Breakdown
Pricing for HOA and managed-property work follows the same logic as any exterior cleaning job: the scope drives the number. Most projects start at a $299 minimum, and we have completed jobs up to about $2,500, with an average around $700.
HOA properties with multiple buildings or larger surface areas typically land toward the higher end based on total square footage, building height and accessibility, the level of accumulated buildup, the type of exterior material being treated, and whether multiple services are bundled into the same visit.
If your community qualifies for two or more services in the same visit, we take $50 off the total. Three or more services brings that to $100 off. We also offer a 5% discount to military and first responder clients. All of this is confirmed at the estimate so the proposal reflects the real number before anything is scheduled.
Surfaces We Cover at HOA and
Managed-Property Accounts
HOA exterior cleaning covers more surface area than most property managers expect going in. Not every community needs the same scope, so we identify exactly what is needed during the walk-through and put it in writing before any work begins.
Building exteriors and siding
removes algae, mildew, and grime buildup from the full face of each structure
Shared-entry glass and common-area windows
keeps high-visibility entry points clean and presentable for residents and visitors
Concrete walkways and community driveways
addresses staining, biological growth, and general wear on shared foot-traffic surfaces
Awnings on clubhouses and leasing offices
cleans fabric and hard-surface awnings on association-owned structures
Association-owned gutters
clears debris and buildup from gutters on buildings the HOA is responsible for maintaining
Post-construction exterior areas
handles residue, dust, and buildup left behind following renovation or new development
Why Managed-Property Managers Trust Clear Vision Cleaning Services
Most cleaning companies treat a commercial property like a larger residential job. They quote without walking it, show up without coordinating, and leave without following up. Here is what you get when you work with us instead.
Everything runs through you
We coordinate with the property manager at every step and never contact residents or tenants directly.
Nothing starts without a walk-through
Our team visits the property in person before any proposal is written, so scope and price are based on what is actually there.
Written documentation at every stage
Proposal, preparation documents, and post-service follow-up are all provided in writing so you have a record.
Property protection guarantee
We wet down and re-protect landscaping before and after service, and can apply plant protect around sensitive plants as an added safeguard.
Fully licensed, insured, and background-checked
Every technician on the crew is vetted before they set foot on a property.
We stop when something is unclear
If a drainage concern, surface condition, or runoff question comes up mid-job, we verify it with you before continuing rather than making a field decision on our own.

How We Handle an HOA Job
From First Call to Final Follow-Up
We Walk the Property Before Anything Gets Scheduled
When a property manager reaches out, the first step is always an in-person walk-through. Our team comes to see the property, notes every surface in scope, identifies access challenges, flags sensitive landscaping, and checks for anything that could complicate service day. That walk-through is how we produce a proposal worth trusting.
Written Proposal and a Follow-Up Within Two Days
After the site visit, you receive a written proposal with a full price and scope breakdown. If you need to adjust scope or have questions before bringing it to your board, we work through that with you. We follow up within one to two days by call or text to make sure you have what you need to move forward.
Job Confirmed, Reminder Sent, Prep Documents Delivered
Once you approve the proposal, we schedule the job and send a reminder email two days before service. You also receive our customer preparation document covering what needs to happen on your end before we arrive. For managed properties, that means confirming residents have been notified of the work date and any temporary access restrictions. We coordinate with you and do not contact residents directly.
Arrival, Landscaping Protection, and Setup
On service day, the crew checks in with you or your on-site contact, confirms water access, and reviews any flagged concerns from the estimate. Before any solution goes down, we wet all plants, bushes, trees, and grass in the surrounding area. For especially sensitive landscaping close to the work zone, we apply Plant Protect, a bleach neutralizer, as an added safeguard.
Residents need to stay clear of active cleaning areas during chemical application, and we rely on you to confirm that communication has gone out in advance.
Chemistry First, Pressure to Rinse
Our process runs on the principle that the solution does the work and pressure removes it. For building exteriors, we apply sodium hypochlorite at roughly 1% to 1.5% dilution paired with surfactant. Brick surfaces get NMD-80. Rust staining on siding calls for F9 BARC. Concrete and shared walkways go through a dedicated sequence: wet the surface, apply solution, allow about 15 minutes of dwell time, then surface clean systematically with a 19-inch cleaner on our commercial-grade 4-gallon-per-minute machine.
If surfaces are hot from direct sun, we cool them down first to prevent flash drying.
Post-Service Rinse and Next-Day Follow-Up
After the job wraps, we rinse and re-protect surrounding vegetation a second time. We call the following day to confirm the service met expectations, and a follow-up email goes out shortly after. All post-service communication goes to you as the property manager, not to individual residents.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is an HOA exterior cleaning job priced?
Every managed property gets an in-person walk-through before we quote it. Most exterior cleaning projects start at a $299 minimum, with completed jobs reaching up to about $2,500 and an average around $700. Properties with multiple buildings or larger surface areas typically land toward the higher end of that range. The full scope and price go into a written proposal so you have a clear number to bring to your board.
Do you work through the property manager or contact residents directly?
All scheduling, proposals, preparation documents, and post-service follow-up go through you as the property manager. We do not reach out to residents or tenants at any point. Resident notification before service is your responsibility, and we confirm with you that it has happened before we begin.
Can you clean while residents are home?
Yes. We can work while the property is occupied. The main requirement is that residents stay out of the active cleaning area while chemical application is underway. We coordinate the specifics with you so the right areas are restricted and communicated before we arrive.
How do you protect landscaping and plants during cleaning?
We wet down all plants, bushes, trees, and grass surrounding the cleaning area before the job starts, and repeat it after service as a second pass. If the estimate flagged sensitive plants or closely bordered landscaping, we also apply Plant Protect, a bleach neutralizer, in those specific areas.
How do you manage chemical runoff at a managed property?
We do not currently operate a water reclamation system. Runoff management is handled through preparation and communication. During the estimate, we identify where drainage goes on the property. If a runoff concern needs verification before chemical is applied, we stop and address it with you first.
Do you bring your own water supply?
No. We use the water source already on the property. Water access is confirmed during the walk-through so there are no complications when the crew arrives on service day.
What building heights can you work on?
We clean commercial buildings up to approximately two stories. For window cleaning at that height, we use a water-fed pole system. We do not do rope descent or high-rise repelling work.
What happens if something unexpected comes up mid-job?
We stop and verify it with you before proceeding. If something on site differs from what we saw during the estimate, whether it is a drainage question, a surface condition, or an access issue, we communicate it to you first and do not make field decisions on our own.
