Exterior Cleaning in Conway, AR

Conway is not a service area for us. It is where we are.

The yard is on Mill Pond Road, and our job records show 1,310 completed jobs in Conway — more than in any other city we serve, and more than the next several combined. Everything else we do is scheduled around being here, which is why a Conway job does not wait for us to be “in the area”.

What Conway Does to a Building

Three local conditions govern almost everything on the exterior of a Conway property, and they explain most of what people call us about.

Loblolly pine. Faulkner County is pine country, and it shows up everywhere. Needles matting in gutters and passing straight through most guards. Resin bonding to siding, vehicles and decking. Spring pollen coating every surface with a film that is abrasive if you wipe it dry. Needle piles staining wherever they sit.

Humidity. Arkansas humidity means the green and black on your north wall is alive — algae and mildew, not dirt. That single fact decides the right method for most of a house: chemistry with dwell time, not pressure.

Housing age. The typical Conway home dates to around 1997, across roughly 28,605 housing units in a city of 66,288 people. That means a consistent picture: vinyl and brick exteriors, asphalt shingle roofs, 5-inch K-style gutter on fasteners that are now nearly thirty years old, and concrete flatwork that is sound and fully cured. Good material to work with — and at the age where the fixings fail before the materials do.

The Conway Year

Different work makes sense at different times here, and we would rather tell you when to book something than sell you it in the wrong month.

Late winter into early spring. Gutter clearing before the spring storms. Arkansas spring rain arrives fast and heavy, and a gutter that was merely slow in February overflows in April.

Late spring, after the pollen drop. House washing, window cleaning and solar panel cleaning. Doing any of them during the drop means a yellow film again within two weeks, which feels like wasted money because it more or less is.

Summer. Concrete, decks and fences, commercial flatwork. Dry working weather, and wood needs genuinely dry conditions to seal properly afterwards.

Early fall. The second house wash and window clean, roof cleaning, and — importantly — this is when holiday lighting gets booked. Our installs happen in November and the diary fills in booking order.

Late fall. The gutter clear that matters most, once the hardwoods have finished. And winter service agreements, which have to be arranged before an event rather than during one.

Where We Work in Conway

All of it, and Faulkner County around it. The older streets near downtown and around Hendrix, UCA and Central Baptist, where the housing is older and the tree cover heaviest. The neighborhoods out around Simon Park and Curtis Walker Park. The Tucker Creek corridor. Out toward Beaverfork Lake, where the canopy is densest and the gutters fill fastest. And the newer development on the west and south sides, where the houses are younger and the work is usually about preventing staining rather than reversing it.

Because Conway is home, the surrounding towns get scheduled around it rather than the other way round — Mayflower at 9 miles, Greenbrier at 10, Vilonia at 13, Maumelle at 15.

What Being Local Actually Changes

Three things, and they are practical rather than sentimental.

Small jobs are viable. Mobile work prices around mobilization — getting a rig, water and a crew to a site costs the same whether there are four vehicles on it or forty. A contractor traveling an hour has to spread that across enough work to justify it, which is why small Conway jobs get quoted at numbers that make no sense. There is no hour of travel to spread here.

Early starts are real. Most commercial work has to happen between close and open. A 4am start on a Conway property does not mean a 3am departure.

Coming back is not a production. Holiday lighting needs a fault fixed in December. A winter event needs a property open by 7am. A gutter overflows the week after we were there. Being fifteen minutes away is what makes those same-day rather than next-week.

How We Quote

By looking. Exterior work prices on area, substrate, condition and access, and condition is the variable that moves it most — a maintained property and one neglected for six years are different jobs at the same square footage. We walk it, we tell you what we would do and in what order, and we are straightforward about what is worth doing now and what can wait a season.

We will also tell you when something is not worth doing. A roof close to end of life, a deck that needs carpentry before cleaning, a driveway that is scaling — those are conversations we would rather have at the quote than after you have paid.

Plant and Industrial Cleaning in Conway

Conway is our home yard, and it is the one market where we can be on a plant floor the same morning you call. The city has been the fastest-growing in Arkansas two years running, and the industrial base has grown with it — food and beverage production, cold storage, pharmaceutical compounding, automotive components and the consumer-paper plant that was the Conway Industrial Park’s first major tenant back in the 1950s.

Recent build-out is concentrated and large: Westrock Coffee has invested close to $400 million across two Conway facilities totalling more than a million square feet and employing over 900 people; a 427,198 sq ft plant on Dave Ward Drive runs under long-term lease to DBG; Central Cold Solutions is putting a $42 million, 130,000 sq ft cold facility into Conway East Industrial Park; and Turbare Manufacturing and FarmaKeio Custom Compounding have brought close to 200 pharmaceutical jobs into the city. Employers named here describe the local economy — they are not our client list.

Those four industries dirty a building in four different ways, so the method has to follow the plant:

• Food, beverage and cold storage. Roasting and ready-to-drink production put oil aerosol and product dust into the structure, and a refrigerated space grows ice and biofilm on cold surfaces that a dry warehouse never sees. The ceiling is the finding an auditor looks up at and nobody has cleaned — we take it down from lifts with HEPA extraction rather than blowing it onto the line: high-bay cleaning.
• Wash-down floors and process areas. Food and pharma floors are attacked by the product and by the sanitation chemistry used on it, plus constant water and thermal shock at the wash-down. We moisture-test the slab before anything is specified, because a coating over a wet slab fails whatever it cost: epoxy floor coating, with floor marking installed once your safety lead has signed off the colour key.
• Degreasing and equipment. Dock aprons, equipment pads and machinery come clean with hot water, the right chemistry and recovered wash water rather than a rinse that moves the oil somewhere else: industrial pressure washing and heavy equipment cleaning.
• Steel, storage and the things that go wrong. Sandblasting for coating preparation, secondary containment coatings around chemical and fuel storage, tank cleaning, and emergency spill response when a containment area has already taken a release.

In a food or pharmaceutical setting the chemistry is chosen for the environment and written down, and you get a record of what was cleaned and when, because an auditor will ask and a verbal answer is not evidence. We work sanitation windows, changeovers, nights and weekends — production does not stop for a cleaning contractor. Being fifteen minutes away is the part that actually matters on a shutdown that slips.
