HOA presidents and board members across Springdale all run into the same problem. Curbs along entry streets pick up tire marks, oil, and tannin from the heavy oak canopy that runs through most northwest Arkansas subdivisions. Sidewalks turn cloudy with mildew through humid summers. Monuments fade. Boards that get ahead of it keep the neighborhood looking like the kind of place residents are proud to come home to.
Arkan Softwash handles exterior cleaning at the neighborhood scale. We work directly with your HOA president as the single point of contact, stage the work across multiple days, and bring commercial-grade equipment into a residential setting. We are fully licensed and insured, Plant and Property Protection Certified through Spray Wash Academy, recognized by NextDoor, and backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
If your board is looking at a multi-surface community cleanup or just trying to get the curbs back to neutral, call us at 479-877-5399. We will scope it together, walk the property with you, and write a proposal built around the streets and surfaces that actually matter.
HOA scopes range from a single street of curbs to a full multi-surface cleanup. Most boards do not realize how much of their common-area infrastructure is actually cleanable.
HOA boards answer to residents, which changes what you need from a contractor: clear accountability, resident safety, protected homeowner property, and someone who can carry the coordination workload off your plate.
The project starts with a phone call covering which streets and sections are in scope, which common-area buildings the board wants included, your target timing, and whether you are thinking one-off or ongoing. From there we set up an on-site walk with you to confirm scope, access, and runoff conditions.
The proposal lands in your inbox by text and email, built around the actual scope from the walk. Once you sign, we build a multi-point contact list with you and map out which sections of the neighborhood we hit on which days.
Once the contact list is set, resident notifications go out at least twice along the streets being worked, covering what, when, why, and how to protect themselves. On the morning of each staged work day, you get a 30-minute pre-arrival heads-up call or text so you know exactly when the crew is rolling in.
The crew sets up the work zone before any spray gear comes out: cones, caution tape, fold-out signs at entry points, and strobe lights running on the truck. The spotter takes position, and any resident home inside the immediate zone gets a door-knock before spraying starts.
With the work zone set, we pre-treat the spray area. Agent Pink goes on plants and delicate surfaces, plastic sheeting covers anything else that could be damaged, then the crew moves to the cleaning pass.
We work each surface with its assigned method: soft wash for siding, monuments, and signage; the surface cleaner at around 2,500 PSI on flat concrete; degreaser plus tire-mark additive on curbs. Stubborn stains get matched to the right product (Gold Assassin for oil, World’s Best for graffiti, Dragon Juice for asphalt, and a dedicated rust treatment for rust). Throughout the pass, berms direct contaminated runoff away from storm drains, the sludge sucker captures and relocates it, and a rented reclamation system handles jobs that call for one.
After the cleaning pass we run a post-work neutralizing pass over landscape areas, then a final flush-rinse on the target surfaces. We walk the completed section with a board representative when available, take before-and-after photos, and move to the next staged section.
At project end, we do a final walk-through with the board, issue the invoice, send a thank-you, and ask for a Google review. Then we talk about whether you want to lock in an ongoing maintenance contract for the next cycle, which is how most HOAs we work with end up on a multi-year cadence.
When residents ask the board for assurance on a major contractor decision, you have specifics to share.
Our 100% satisfaction guarantee is contractually binding, with no time clock on reasonable post-project issues the board raises. The two-year roof wash warranty applies to any common-area roof we treat, with a no-cost return visit if growth comes back inside the window. Graffiti removal carries a 100% success rate across every job we have taken on. Full licensing, insurance, and Plant and Property Protection certification through Spray Wash Academy round out the package, with documentation included alongside the proposal.
What is covered: workmanship on every surface we cleaned, and any reasonable issue the board raises during or after the project.
What sits outside the guarantee: pre-existing damage that was already failing before we started, surfaces we determined were unsafe to clean, and anything beyond the time and scope limits written into the contract.
HOA projects start at $4,000 for the simplest scope we have run, which is a curbs-only project. Larger multi-surface scopes that include sidewalks, monuments, common-area buildings, and roofs are priced higher. There are no fixed HOA packages because no two neighborhoods around here are the same. Every board gets a customized proposal after an on-site walk.
The HOA president is our single point of contact. Before work starts, we also ask for a multi-point contact list with the rest of the board so communication keeps flowing if the president is unavailable.
Your HOA president sends at least two notifications to residents along the streets being worked, before crews arrive. Each notification covers what we are doing, when, why, and how residents can protect themselves. If you’d rather we handle the resident-side communication, we provide taped door notices to the affected residents.
Yes. The chemicals are powerful, so we dilute them heavily, apply a neutralizer (Agent Pink) to plants and delicate surfaces before any spray work starts, cover items that could be damaged with plastic sheeting, and run a post-work neutralizing rinse. Our crews are Plant and Property Protection Certified through Spray Wash Academy.
Yes. Residents are asked to keep pets indoors during the active work window in their immediate zone. We dilute heavily in any area where pets might come in contact with standing water and neutralize those areas after the cleaning pass.
Project timing varies. A curbs-only scope on a small subdivision moves much faster than a full multi-surface project across a large neighborhood. We stage the work across multiple days and give the board a clear schedule in the proposal.
Soft washing uses low pressure plus specialized detergents to clean surfaces without the high-pressure blasting that damages siding, mortar joints, paint, and roof shingles. We soft-wash nearly everything: siding, monuments, perimeter walls, signage, and common-area roofs. Flat concrete runs through a surface cleaner at moderate pressure, typically capped around 2,500 PSI.
HOA streets often drain straight to municipal storm drains, so runoff handling matters. We use berms or water deterrents to direct contaminated runoff away from drains. A sludge sucker captures the contained runoff and relocates it. When a project demands a water reclamation system, we rent one rather than skip the step.
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, and documentation is available on request. Most boards will want to see it before signing a proposal.
Yes. Ongoing maintenance is priced more favorably than one-off projects, and large-scale jobs get a meaningful per-unit pricing drop on top of that. HOAs that lock in an annual or semi-annual program get the benefit of both. Exact terms are customized per neighborhood.
Yes. Clubhouse roofs, pool house roofs, and other common-area roofs get a soft-wash treatment using detergent at low pressure. We offer a two-year roof wash warranty: if growth comes back inside that window, we return to spot-treat at no charge. Roof work has a hard 15 mph wind cap, so the scheduled day may shift if weather does not cooperate.
Graffiti removal can be folded into an HOA scope. We use World’s Best graffiti remover, which is biodegradable and safe across multiple siding and surface types. To date, we have a 100% success rate on graffiti removal.
The guarantee covers our work. It does not cover pre-existing damage, structurally compromised common-area buildings that were already failing, or any surface we declined to clean due to safety or condition concerns. The HOA agrees in the contract to let us come back and remediate before any refund discussion.
Yes. We serve Springdale, Rogers, and Tontitown for HOA projects. The same project-management approach applies in all three.
Your board has enough on its plate. We will take the entire exterior cleanup off your hands, run it cleanly, and leave residents happier than when our crew showed up. Call Arkan Softwash at 479-877-5399 Monday through Friday between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, and we will scope your project, walk the community with you, and write a proposal built for your neighborhood.
