Doylestown’s downtown isn’t like the strip-mall corridors we clean in other parts of Bucks County. Main and State Streets are lined with three- and four-story brick and masonry storefronts built shoulder-to-shoulder right up against the sidewalk — many of them over a century old. That changes how we approach a job here. We’re not just blasting grime off a wall; we’re working around brick that’s soft with age, storefront glass and awnings that need protecting, and sidewalks that see heavy foot traffic all day. It’s a different kind of power washing, and it’s what we specialize in.
The borough’s core — centered around the intersection of Main and State — is dense with 19th-century brick and masonry buildings set close to the street, many sharing party walls.² That density means a few things every property owner here already knows:
“I have used Anchor for a few jobs and they always do an amazing job. I have referred them to friends and they have all been happy with their work as well. Fran and Mark always go above and beyond, I highly recommend them!”

From small Main Street storefronts to larger commercial buildings near Route 202 and the outskirts of the borough, Anchor Facility Services handles exterior cleaning for the businesses that make up Doylestown’s commercial core. A clean storefront isn’t cosmetic here — with this much walkable retail and foot traffic, the exterior is often the first impression a customer forms before they ever step inside.
Regular power washing protects your investment two ways: it prevents the kind of buildup (mold, mildew, atmospheric grime) that can permanently stain or degrade brick and stucco over time, and it keeps your property looking like it’s actively maintained, which matters in a downtown where properties sit close together and comparisons are easy to make.
We work with shopping centers, property managers, and individual storefront owners throughout Doylestown Borough and Doylestown Township.
No two properties here need the same approach. Before we start any job, our team assesses the surface material, age, and condition to determine the right method — soft washing for delicate or historic surfaces, pressure washing for driveways, patios, and modern siding.
Whether you’re maintaining the historic character of a Doylestown residence or keeping a commercial property looking sharp for customers and tenants, our approach is built around getting it right the first time.
Cost depends on the size of the area, the surface type, and how much buildup needs to be removed — a brick sidewalk with years of moss in the joints takes more time than a driveway cleaned every spring. Historic brick and masonry surfaces also require soft washing rather than high-pressure cleaning, which can affect pricing. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after seeing the property or reviewing photos, so you know the exact cost before any work starts.
Yes, when it’s done the right way. Standard high-pressure washing can damage old mortar joints and soften brick that’s decades or centuries old, which is why we soft wash historic facades using lower pressure and appropriate cleaning solutions rather than blasting them. If your property is in Doylestown’s historic district, some exterior work may also require borough approval — we’re happy to talk through what that means for your project.
Yes. Brick sidewalks trap moss, mildew, and grime differently than poured concrete because of the joints between the pavers. We use surface cleaners and appropriate dwell times to lift buildup out of those joints rather than just rinsing the surface.
Most commercial storefronts in downtown Doylestown benefit from cleaning at least once or twice a year, given the foot traffic and closely-spaced buildings. Residential properties, especially those with decks, siding, or driveways, typically do well on an annual schedule, though shaded or heavily wooded lots may need more frequent attention for mold and mildew.
No. We schedule around your business hours whenever possible and take care to protect window displays, signage, patio furniture, and landscaping while we work.

A finished building isn’t the same as a finished job. Between the last piece of trim going up and the final walkthrough, there’s usually a layer of dust, dried concrete splatter, and tracked-in mud standing between your crew and a clean handoff. That’s where pressure washing for construction site turnover
If you manage a shopping center, retail plaza, or office park, you already know that a clean exterior says something about how well a property is run. But there’s a right way and a wrong way to get there. Commercial property litter removal before pressure washing isn’t just a scheduling
If you manage a commercial property, you already know that fresh line striping does more than look clean — it directs traffic, marks accessible parking, and keeps your lot compliant and safe. But here’s what a lot of property managers don’t realize until it’s too late: the very maintenance meant
When a commercial property or municipal storm drain system starts showing signs of trouble — slow drainage, recurring backups, or unexplained odors — digging up pipes to find the cause isn’t always practical or necessary. That’s where a commercial sewer camera inspection comes in. Using a remote-controlled crawler camera, technicians
When a drainage line backs up on a commercial property, the pipe itself rarely tells you what’s wrong just by looking at the surface. Large storm drains, sewer mains, and culverts run 8 inches in diameter or more, well beyond what a handheld tool or a quick visual check can
Every township road tells a story about how well it’s maintained. Loose gravel along the shoulder, leaf buildup clogging a storm drain, construction debris left behind after a paving project — these aren’t just eyesores. They’re safety hazards, compliance risks, and the kind of thing that ages a road faster
