Xtreme Cleanz Available

Xtreme Cleanz approaches exterior cleaning through strict diagnostic chemistry and pressure modulation rather than blunt-force washing. Founded by Hoover native and municipal firefighter Jonathan Zarzour, who holds a business degree from Huntingdon College and brings over a decade of hands-on cleaning experience, the company maintains a systematic methodology for residential and commercial surfaces throughout Jefferson, Shelby, Chilton, and St. Clair counties. The trade methodology splits cleaning into two distinct operational protocols: high-pressure rotary surface cleaning for dense flatwork like concrete and asphalt, and chemically driven soft washing for delicate building envelopes and roofing substrates.

Executing an effective wash requires accurately assessing the substrate before any water begins to flow. On vertical vinyl, dry-vit, or historical brick—frequent across Birmingham properties from Mountain Brook to Vestavia Hills—high pressure can strip mortar, drive moisture behind siding, and scar protective finishes. Xtreme Cleanz utilizes low-pressure delivery systems coupled with tailored cleaning solutions designed to neutralize mold, mildew, and algal colonies down to the spore level rather than shearing them off mechanically. For asphalt shingle and tile roofs, the team applies a dedicated no-pressure roof cleaning technique. This zero-impact chemical soaking process lifts dark Gloeocapsa magma streaks and lichens without dislodging protective ceramic granules, preventing premature shingle degradation and preserving manufacturer roof warranties.

On large-scale commercial assignments—including projects for distribution hubs like FedEx and retail centers along Highway 280—the focus shifts to oil stain extraction, gum removal, and heavy traffic restoration. Commercial flatwork demands high-flow pressure units operated in tandem with dual-nozzle surface cleaners to eliminate the streaking lines commonly left by handheld wands. Technicians evaluate grease saturation and aggregate porosity prior to application, calibrating heated water and industrial degreasers to lift petroleum residues out of porous concrete without etching the aggregate surface. Every drainage path and runoff outlet is surveyed beforehand to ensure chemical containment meets environmental and municipal compliance standards.

Project estimates begin with a surface-by-surface property evaluation to determine square footage, water access, and the severity of biological or chemical staining. Commercial facility managers and homeowners scheduling an initial assessment should verify that exterior spigots provide adequate flow volume (ideally five or more gallons per minute) and identify any sensitive ornamental plantings that require pre-hydration or plastic masking. Lead times for standard residential exterior cleanings typically run one to two weeks, though spring seasonal peaks require booking three to four weeks in advance. Securing outdoor electrical receptacles and clearing perimeter access paths prior to the service technician's arrival ensures an immediate and uninterrupted workflow on the scheduled cleaning date.
