Hampton Roads has taken a beating this winter from bad weather. After torrential downpours of rain and weeks of snowstorms unlike anything in recent memory, the landscape of the Southside and Peninsula has been muddied, sanded and salted.
Debris all over the roadways has been blown onto buildings and windows, creating a film that does not wash off with the next rain. It makes a building look dirty and uninviting. The best way to get rid of it is by power washing the building.
Independent Services of Virginia specializes in providing different kind of services for dirty buildings. Our crew can clean off the mess left over from a wet and snowy winter for a fresh look. We are gearing up for one of our favorite activities – spring-cleaning. Our pressure washing services in Hampton Roads, VA give a little spruce-up to buildings. We get rid of dirt, creeping mold and growing algae on your building’s exterior. Because our area has so much rain and high humidity, it needs to be done periodically to prevent permanent building discoloration and damage. We carefully check over the buildings exterior before we clean it up making sure our state-of the-art pressure washing equipment is at the right settings for best results.
And yes, we wash windows, too. Glass gets dirty? Not a problem. One way to decide if your windows need a nice cleaning is to go outside and run your finger down the side of the window. If you have a dirty finger, your windows need attention. We have the proper equipment and we don’t mind heights.

Hampton Roads has little public transportation and thus a relatively large percentage of parking lots. No matter what city you are in, people tend to drive, park in a safe area and walk. Parking lots require regular up keep, from sweeping, patching, repairing, sealing, restriping and finally milling and paving if not maintained properly. Independent Services provides all off these services. Potential patrons will pay to pull into a lot instead of running out to feed the meter if they feel it is safe.
A clean parking lot is usually the sign of a vigilant owner or tenant who cares about the property and the neighborhood. At Independent Services, we take pride in the condition of the parking lots that we service.
We make sure there is no trash or debris left in the lot after a sweeping. For parking lots without maintenance, it appears to customers no one is paying any attention to the activities on the property. This encourages vandals and other riffraff. Well-maintained parking lots have less crime and maintenance problems. That is one of the reasons we make sure our clients start with clean parking lots.
No matter how well you maintain parking lot it will eventually need restriping, fresh sealcoating, patches and repairs. Let us help you keep up this valuable resource.
A clean and well maintained parking lot attracts customers and creates a good image for your business.

If you watched the Grand Illumination Parade in Downtown Norfolk, Virginia, you have probably seen our handiwork. We have been putting up holiday lights on building perimeters across the region since 1988.
One of the prettiest scenes in Hampton Roads is the night in late November when all of the buildings on the skyline (and even a few off the beaten path) are silhouetted in bright white lights, whether Norfolk, Virginia Beach or Newport News.
Each year, all of the businesses in Downtown Norfolk outline their buildings with tiny lights. The Grand Illumination Parade is the kickoff of the holiday season, when all of the lights are turned on the same night, and Santa Claus comes by for a welcoming visit.
ISV’s staff decorates a number of the buildings featured in Norfolk’s Grand Illumination event. Whether viewing from a high-rise overlooking the city or staying lower to the ground holiday lighting is one of the exciting things about Hampton Roads.
We hung up thousands of them and enjoyed watching the city twinkle when we were done. It’s amazing to see the display as you approach the city center in the evenings.
