About Douglas Simons
847-561-3724My name is Douglas Simons, and I have spent more than 30 years working in the pressure washing and exterior cleaning industry throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
What started as a fascination with the power of steam cleaning when I was young eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the decades I have cleaned just about every surface imaginable in and around the City of Chicago—from storefront awnings and commercial buildings to sidewalks, parking garages, loading docks, and delicate limestone structures.
Experience like that teaches you something important: every surface, every building material, and every job requires the right approach.
A Career Built on Experience
Pressure washing may look simple from the outside, but professional exterior cleaning involves far more than simply spraying water at high pressure.
Proper cleaning requires understanding:
-
surface materials
-
water pressure and temperature
-
cleaning solutions
-
stain removal techniques
-
environmental considerations
After three decades in the field, I have developed systems for each type of work I perform. These systems are the result of thousands of projects across Chicago’s residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
When I arrive at a job, I already know the safest and most effective way to approach the cleaning process.
Specializing in Chicago Exterior Cleaning
Chicago presents unique challenges for exterior cleaning.
Between harsh winters, heavy foot traffic, pollution, and the wide variety of building materials used throughout the city, surfaces can accumulate years of staining and buildup.
Over the years I have specialized in cleaning:
-
commercial storefronts
-
sidewalks and concrete surfaces
-
awnings and building exteriors
-
parking garages and loading docks
-
limestone and masonry surfaces
Each project requires careful attention to detail to ensure the cleaning process improves the appearance of the property without damaging the materials.
Professionalism and Respect for Your Property
Hiring someone to work on your property—whether it is a home or commercial building—requires trust.
Property ownership is expensive, and the last thing anyone wants is unnecessary risk or damage caused by someone who does not understand the materials they are working with.
That is why I approach every job with the same philosophy:
Treat every property as if it were my own.
All work is performed with respect for surrounding materials, landscaping, building surfaces, and safety considerations. I also maintain full insurance coverage including workers compensation, so clients can feel confident when hiring me.
Family and Life Outside Work
Beyond my work, I am also a husband of more than 25 years and the father of six children.
Running a business while raising a large family has taught me the value of responsibility, reliability, and hard work. Those same values are reflected in the way I approach my business and my clients.
For me, pressure washing is not simply a service—it has been my life’s work.
Dedicated Service Websites
In addition to working directly with customers, I have also created several specialized websites dedicated to different aspects of exterior cleaning in Chicago. These sites provide additional information about specific services such as:
-
pressure washing
-
sidewalk cleaning
-
awning cleaning
-
commercial exterior cleaning
The goal of these sites is to help property owners better understand the different cleaning methods available and what is required to properly maintain exterior surfaces in Chicago’s environment.
