Question 1

What services does J.A. Property Services offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer exterior power washing for driveways, sidewalks, pavement, patios, storefronts, boats (out of water only), RVs, tractors, trailers (exterior and interior), garage floors, fences, dumpster pads, outdoor furniture, and small equipment. We do not clean roofs, house siding, or do tuckpointing.

Question 2

How do I request a quote?

Accepted Answer

Use the Request Appointment form on the website, email us through Contact, or try Square Appointments if enabled—everything stays pending until we confirm by text or email. You can also use our AI quote assistant for quick answers.

Question 3

What happens after I submit a quote request?

Accepted Answer

We'll review your details and respond—usually by text or email—with next steps and pricing context. Nothing is confirmed until we confirm availability, scope, and schedule.

Question 4

Do I need to provide water?

Accepted Answer

Yes. JA Property Services requires water access on site for most exterior cleaning services. Please make sure there is a working outdoor spigot available and that a hose can be attached. If water access is unavailable, please mention it in your request before scheduling.

Question 5

Do you charge for on-site assessments?

Accepted Answer

Optional On-Site Service Assessment fees are $50 and are not refundable because they cover travel, time, and in-person review. If you book service after the assessment, the $50 applies toward the final service total. If you cancel scheduled service after the on-site assessment has been completed, the $50 fee may be forfeited due to the cost of the visit.

Question 6

Is the $25 booking deposit refundable?

Accepted Answer

The $25 booking deposit is applied toward your final service total at completion. Deposits are fully refundable when cancellations are made at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment. Less than 24 hours' notice or no-shows will result in deposit forfeiture. Weather-related reschedules are handled separately.

Question 7

Is an on-site assessment required?

Accepted Answer

No. Most standard exterior cleaning requests can be quoted from your details and photos. The optional On-Site Service Assessment is for situations where an in-person review helps before final pricing—larger, commercial, trailer, uncertain scope, or custom work.

Question 8

Do you have a startup special or promotion?

Accepted Answer

Yes—our limited 2026 Startup Special is the Front Entry Refresh at $175 for qualifying front entrance work (see pricing for scope). Door cleaning is limited to approved metal or aluminum doors only; we do not pressure wash wood or delicate doors. Our standard $225 minimum still applies to all other services outside this promotion.

Question 9

What do most jobs cost?

Accepted Answer

Most jobs fall between $250 and $300 depending on surface area, buildup, and scope. Minimum service is $225. We'll give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Question 10

Do you offer recurring or commercial pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer commercial maintenance plans (weekly, biweekly, monthly) for storefronts and exterior areas. Routine maintenance is typically lower cost per visit than one-time restoration.

Question 11

Do you service areas outside Chicago?

Accepted Answer

We serve Chicago and surrounding suburbs, plus Northwest Indiana through Gary (for example Hammond, Schererville, and Gary). We do not accept quote requests from outside our service zone. Contact us to confirm we cover your address.

Do you do commercial work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer commercial exterior cleaning—storefronts, sidewalks, dumpster pads—and commercial maintenance plans (weekly, biweekly, monthly) for consistent curb appeal.

Question 13

What's included in commercial maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Storefront entry, sidewalks, visible concrete, and curb-facing areas. Optional add-ons: dumpster pad cleaning, side entry, rear service area. Ask when you request a quote.
