Commercial Cleaning Services in Ballard
Ballard is where Seattle’s maritime heritage meets a thriving commercial district. Craft breweries along NW 46th Street, boutique retail on Ballard Avenue NW, seafood restaurants near the locks, and new mixed-use developments transforming old industrial lots. The result is a neighborhood with diverse commercial spaces and high standards for presentation.
Seattle Surface Cleaners brings the same professional-grade cleaning and maintenance to Ballard that we deliver across our BIA partnerships in other Seattle neighborhoods. Consistent quality, dedicated crews, and a commitment to keeping commercial spaces looking their best.
Our Services in Ballard
Janitorial Services
Our janitorial teams provide scheduled cleaning for Ballard’s commercial spaces — offices, retail stores, restaurants, and mixed-use buildings. We assign dedicated employees to your account so you see the same familiar faces delivering consistent results. Service includes floor care, restroom sanitation, trash removal, surface wiping, and detailed cleaning of high-touch areas. We build cleaning plans around your hours and your needs.
Janitorial rates start at $60 to $85 per hour, depending on scope, crew size, and equipment.
Pressure Washing
Sidewalks, building fronts, parking areas, loading docks, dumpster pads — every commercial property in Ballard has surfaces that accumulate grime from foot traffic, vehicle traffic, and weather. Our pressure washing crews restore these surfaces to clean condition using commercial-grade equipment calibrated for each surface type. We handle concrete, brick, stone, and composite materials without causing damage.
Pressure washing runs approximately $1,000 per day, with final pricing based on the scope of work.
Graffiti Removal
Graffiti left in place invites more graffiti. Our removal service operates on a rapid-response basis — the faster a tag comes down, the less likely it is to attract copycats. We work on painted surfaces, bare masonry, metal, glass, and composite materials, matching our removal methods to the substrate so we eliminate the graffiti without damaging your building.
Day Porter Services
For Ballard properties that need ongoing attention throughout the business day, our day porter service provides a dedicated cleaning professional on-site during your operating hours. Day porters handle lobby maintenance, restroom checks, spill cleanup, trash management, and any other tasks that keep your space looking professional between regular janitorial visits.
Local Knowledge: Ballard
Ballard’s commercial activity clusters in a few distinct zones. Ballard Avenue NW, between NW Dock Place and NW Market Street, is the historic heart — brick buildings housing restaurants, bars, and boutiques. This stretch sees heavy foot traffic, especially on weekends, and the brick sidewalks and historic facades need careful cleaning that preserves their character.
Market Street NW is the main east-west commercial corridor, with bigger retail, banks, and service businesses. NW 46th Street has become brewery row, with taprooms and food businesses that generate specific cleaning challenges — spills, food waste, and high weekend foot traffic.
The area around the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks draws tourists year-round, and businesses near the locks benefit from clean, inviting commercial spaces. Further east, 15th Ave NW carries the auto-oriented commercial strip with different maintenance needs — larger parking lots, car dealerships, and strip retail.
New development along NW 56th Street and Market Street is adding residential density, which means more foot traffic and higher expectations for commercial corridor maintenance.
