Commercial pressure washing in Montreal, Laval, and the North Shore
Nickel & Krome provides commercial pressure washing for exterior hard surfaces that need a controlled, professional wash: concrete, asphalt, masonry, stone, tile, building approaches, exterior common areas, and condo or commercial access zones.
This is the primary service page for pressure washing and high-pressure exterior cleaning on parking approaches, facades, balconies, loading areas, walkways, and visible hard surfaces. Graffiti requests are assessed through the dedicated <a href="/en/graffiti-removal/">commercial graffiti removal service</a>, where pressure is treated as one possible method rather than the default.
Direct answer
Commercial pressure washing is used for exterior hard surfaces where controlled water pressure, surface diagnosis, access planning, and runoff awareness matter. Nickel & Krome scopes each mandate by surface type, square footage, stain level, drainage, water access, seasonal timing, and whether the surface should instead route to paver maintenance or laser evaluation.

- Quote inputs: surface type, square footage, stains, drainage, water access, schedule, and photos
What pressure washing covers on this site
Pressure washing is the right method when the surface is structurally sound but visually compromised by graffiti, organic staining, exhaust residue, traffic marks, salt residue, oil marks, or seasonal buildup.
This applies to non-paver hard surfaces. Paved entrances in pavé uni have a dedicated path — see the paver hub link above.
- Graffiti removal on concrete, brick, and masonry
- Concrete and asphalt driveways and access lanes
- Building facades and exterior wall surfaces
- Exterior balconies and condo floor surfaces
- Exterior common areas on multi-residential buildings
- Commercial parking approaches and loading zones
- Site entry zones and traffic-marked hardscape
- Seasonal corrective wash before a new occupancy or sale
Graffiti removal — what we evaluate
Graffiti removal depends on surface porosity, paint type, and how long the marking has set. The dedicated graffiti removal assessment owns that scope and determines whether pressure washing is suitable without damaging the finish.
We service concrete block, poured concrete, brick, masonry, painted metal panels, and certain coated surfaces. Surface condition determines whether chemical pre-treatment is needed alongside pressure.
After removal, the suitability of a compatible anti-graffiti protection system can be assessed separately according to the substrate, finish, and application conditions.
- Substrate type and porosity
- Paint type and age of the tag
- Risk of surface damage from pressure alone
- Need for chemical pre-treatment or neutralizer
- Coverage area and access constraints
Parking approaches and commercial exterior zones
Parking aprons, commercial loading zones, and exterior circulation areas accumulate oil stains, rubber marks, exhaust residue, and seasonal buildup that affect both appearance and surface grip.
For underground or enclosed parking, see our dedicated underground parking cleaning page. Commercial pressure washing on the exterior approach is often part of a broader exterior maintenance scope.
- Oil stain and rubber mark removal on asphalt and concrete
- Commercial parking aprons and vehicle circulation zones
- Exterior loading docks and service entries
- Condo and residential building exterior parking areas
- Ramp surfaces and entry canopies
- Seasonal pre-winter and post-winter corrective wash
How this service connects to the broader exterior scope
Pressure washing on non-paver surfaces sits alongside our paver maintenance program and underground parking cleaning. The right service depends on the surface type and the condition.
We do not apply the same method across every surface. Paver surfaces route to the paver hub. Underground parking routes to the dedicated page. Hard non-paver surfaces are what this page covers.
- Non-paver hard surfaces: concrete, asphalt, stone, tile
- Graffiti removal before repainting or leaving surface bare
- Prepare surfaces before sealant or coating application
- Useful ahead of seasonal exterior maintenance cycles
- Links to paver care and underground parking are listed above
Frequently asked questions
- Can this be used on residential and condo buildings?
- Yes, when surface type and drainage context allow it. We confirm this before treating pressure washing as the right method on your site.
- Does pressure washing always remove graffiti?
- No. Graffiti removal depends on the substrate and the paint. We assess before committing to avoid surface damage.
- What should I send to get a quote?
- Send location, surface type, approximate area, and photos showing the current state. That is enough to frame the next step and confirm scope.
