Pressure Washing & Parking Lot Striping in Greater Montgomery
Selma, AL
On Site Power Cleaning provides soft washing and pressure washing in Selma for older homes, roofs and commercial buildings. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to kill mildew and algae at the root. That matters on old brick, wood and painted siding, which high pressure can damage. We also clean concrete and stripe parking lots for businesses and industrial sites.
We are a family-owned business based in Prattville, and we travel to Selma for larger and multi-building jobs. That might be several homes on one street, a row of downtown storefronts or a large industrial lot. We serve properties across the city, from the riverfront to the outer neighborhoods. On every job, the goal is to get it done right the first time.
Higher pressure still has a place on Selma properties. Sidewalks, driveways and parking areas are concrete and can take a stronger wash to lift dirt and stains. Building faces, roofs and trim get the soft wash instead. Using the right method on each surface keeps old materials safe while the hard surfaces come out clean.
The January 2023 tornado damaged hundreds of homes and businesses in Selma. Some homes may now have new siding, trim or roofing right next to original materials. New vinyl and old painted wood react differently to cleaning, so each gets its own care.
On older Selma homes, we save pressure washing for the walks and steps. The walls get a soft wash. Fresh paint on repaired areas should cure before washing, so we ask when repairs wrapped up.

Our house washing clears mildew, algae and dirt from siding, brick and trim without high pressure. Roof cleaning uses the same low-pressure idea to remove dark streaks, algae and moss from shingles. High pressure can knock loose the granules, the grit that protects a shingle. The two services pair well, since a clean roof over dirty walls still leaves a home looking tired.
Craig Field Airport and Industrial Complex, the former Craig Air Force Base, sits about four miles southeast of Selma. International Paper's Riverdale Mill and plants such as Bush Hog and Peerless Pump add more large lots nearby. Lots like these need stall lines, drive lanes and loading zones that stay readable under truck traffic.
Our Services
We handle commercial and residential pressure washing, soft washing and parking lot striping in Selma.
The 2023 tornado struck downtown and Old Town and uprooted thousands of trees. Some were century-old oaks that fell on century-old houses. Many homes now have new roofs or patches. Others still sit under the big trees that remain. Shade and falling leaves from those trees keep roofs damp, which helps moss and algae grow.
Both cases call for a gentle approach. A new roof patch needs a light rinse. An old roof under oaks needs the growth killed at the root. We clear leaves and twigs from the surface first, then apply the cleaning solution at low pressure. Clean roofs and walls also make loose trim or flashing easier to spot.
Our Work
We serve homes and businesses across Selma, from Old Town to the downtown blocks past the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Our crew travels in from our base in Prattville for these jobs.

334-218-7120Yes, soft washing suits most older homes because it relies on a cleaning solution instead of high pressure. We still look for loose paint, soft wood and crumbling mortar first. Those spots get extra care or are left alone.
Yes, roofs under heavy shade often grow moss and algae faster than sunny roofs. Shade keeps the surface damp longer, and fallen leaves hold moisture against the shingles. Trimming branches back and keeping debris off the roof helps slow regrowth.
Yes, a row of downtown buildings can be washed as one project. Planning them together keeps the fronts looking even and makes the trip from Prattville count. We work one storefront at a time so doors stay reachable.
Yes, downtown business lots can be washed and restriped with fresh stall lines, arrows and crosswalks. If the old layout no longer fits, we remove the old lines before painting new ones. Accessible stalls are painted to the layout you approve.
Yes, grouping several homes into one trip is a good fit for us. It works well for owners with more than one rental, or for neighbors who book together. Each home still gets its own walk-around first, since siding and age vary from house to house.
Pro Tips
Most parking lots need restriping every one to three years, depending on traffic and weather. Busy shopping center and retail lots usually sit at the short end of that range. Quiet office and warehouse lots can often go longer between fresh coats of paint. Sun, heavy […]
For most homes, the right answer is both, each on the right surface. Soft washing is the safer choice for siding, roofs and painted wood. Pressure washing is the better tool for concrete driveways, sidewalks and other hard, bare surfaces. The difference between soft washing and […]
Siding turns green in Alabama because algae grows wherever walls stay damp and shaded. Tiny algae spores ride in on the wind and settle on siding, trim and roof edges. Warm temperatures and high humidity give them the steady moisture they need to spread. The green […]
