Meet Mark — owner of Sunshine Cleaning Service.
22 years cleaning exteriors across metro Atlanta. Owner-operated, family-owned, on every job. Built like a careful local crew, not a splash-and-go franchise.
2004 — the start.
Mark started Sunshine Cleaning Service in 2004 with a simple frustration: the pressure washing industry in metro Atlanta was full of crews who didn't know — or didn't care — about the difference between methods. Driveways got high-pressure cold-water blasts that left oil and tire marks. Siding got the same treatment that lifted paint and forced water behind the cladding. Roofs got high-pressure spray that voided shingle warranties. "Splash-and-go" was the industry standard.
Mark's answer was to learn every method correctly — pressure for hard surfaces, chemistry-first soft wash for soft surfaces, ARMA-approved zero-pressure for roofs, purified water for windows, deionized for solar panels — and to be the one personally executing each job. Not subcontracted. Not handed off to a rotating day-labor crew. Mark on the truck.
22 years in.
Sunshine has grown into a single-team operation serving 22 cities across metro Atlanta. The model is unchanged: owner-operated, family-owned, no franchising, no subcontracting. The customer who calls Sunshine in 2026 gets the same person who answered the phone in 2004.
Along the way:
- 4.9 stars on Google across 171+ five-star reviews from customers in Buckhead, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Johns Creek, and every other city we serve.
- ARMA certification — the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association approves only specific methodologies for cleaning shingle roofs without voiding manufacturer warranties. Mark holds it.
- $1 million general liability + workers' compensation — full insurance from day one, every year.
- Zero subcontracting — every job is executed by Mark and his direct team. No "I'll send my guys" handoffs.
- Three-year roof soft-wash warranty — algae and moss re-growth covered for 36 months on every roof we treat.
The methodology — short version.
Sunshine pressure-washes where pressure belongs (driveways, walkways, patios, concrete, brick paths) and soft-washes where soft wash belongs (siding, painted surfaces, brick walls, stucco, screens, roofs). Different surfaces need different methods. The cost of getting it wrong is property damage. The cost of getting it right is Sunshine.
"The industry got loud about big trucks and franchise logos. What customers actually want is someone who knows the right way to clean their roof and is going to be on the job himself. That's it. That's the whole pitch."
What it means to be owner-operated.
Most pressure washing companies in Atlanta operate one of two models: franchise (a name and a system, but the actual crew rotates and is often inexperienced), or referral-mill (sales-focused, with subcontractor crews doing the actual work). Sunshine operates neither model. Mark personally inspects every job before it begins, executes the work with his direct team, and confirms the result before invoicing. That's why every Sunshine review mentions Mark by name.
