WHY UNION CITY
MATTERS.

Union City packs one of Alameda County's oldest settlements and one of the East Bay's busiest BART hubs into a six-square-mile footprint. Old Alvarado — California Historic Landmark territory at Plaza Park — anchors the 1850s heritage core of pre-WWI Victorians, Italianates, and pioneer-era cottages. Decoto, the original 1860s railroad-era founding district up north, runs working-class single-family housing block by block. Mission Hills climbs the eastern foothills toward Garin Regional Park, with custom builds and ranch homes in or adjacent to a Cal Fire State Responsibility Area. Central Union City — New Park, Union Landing, the Mission Boulevard corridor — runs 1960s–'80s tract development around the BART station and Union Landing commercial center. Same crew, every block.

> What Union City homes need most

Union City's housing variety — pre-1900 heritage, 1860s founding-district bungalows, mid-century stucco, hillside customs — means matching method to surface matters here. Three things drive most of our work.

Soft-washing heritage wood and central stucco. Old Alvarado's Victorians and Italianates around Plaza Park have original painted clapboard, lap siding, and casement windows that high pressure tears apart. Decoto's older bungalows along the original railroad-era blocks need the same low-PSI care. Across central Union City — New Park, Cabrillo, Rancho Arroyo — 1960s–'80s tract stucco runs the same under-500-PSI rule with a biodegradable surfactant. Wrong method = pitted finish, lifted paint, broken trim.

Hillside roofs + Cal Fire defensible-space gutter work. Mission Hills climbs the east side toward Garin Regional Park with custom homes in or adjacent to a Cal Fire State Responsibility Area where defensible-space rules require routine gutter clears and combustible-debris removal from roofs. We soft-wash hillside roofs (algae, moss, lichen) without stripping shingle granules, and flush gutters down to bare metal so leaf-fall doesn't become wildfire fuel.

BART-corridor and Union Landing commercial. Union City's commercial weight sits along the Union Landing shopping district, the Mission Boulevard corridor through the BART hub, and the warehouse / light-industrial buildings along Whipple Road and 880. We work concrete and parking-area pressure-washing, building soft-washes, window cleaning, and solar array maintenance for those properties. Same crew, scaled to the building.

UNION CITY
QUESTIONS

Straight answers for Union City homeowners and businesses. Don't see yours? Call or text (408) 598-1857 — happy to walk you through anything.

Do you work all of Union City?

Yes. Old Alvarado, Alvarado, Decoto, Mission Hills, New Park, Union Landing, Hillview, Rancho Arroyo, Cabrillo — from the 1850s heritage blocks around Plaza Park to the foothill streets climbing toward Garin Regional Park. ZIP 94587 is our standard zone.

Can you soft-wash an Old Alvarado heritage home safely?

Yes — it's the only correct method for Old Alvarado housing stock. The blocks around Plaza Park (a California Historic Landmark) include Victorians, Italianates, and pre-1900 cottages with original painted wood siding and casement windows that high pressure will split and strip. We use under 500 PSI with a biodegradable surfactant. The same low-PSI rule applies to Decoto's older bungalows.

Can you handle hillside roofs and Cal Fire defensible-space gutter work in Mission Hills?

Yes. Mission Hills climbs the east-side foothills toward Garin Regional Park, with homes in or adjacent to Cal Fire's State Responsibility Area where defensible-space rules require routine gutter clears and combustible-debris removal from roofs. We soft-wash hillside roofs (algae, moss, lichen) and flush gutters down to bare metal so leaf-fall doesn't become wildfire fuel.

Do you offer Union City gutter guard installation?

Yes. Gutter guards are one of our most-requested Union City services. The mature canopy through Decoto, the streets around Plaza Park in Old Alvarado, and the Mission Hills foothill canopy drops oak, sycamore, and pine debris year-round — guards typically pay for themselves in two seasons, and they take the defensible-space-compliance pressure off east-side homeowners.

Can you clean Union City solar panels from SunPower or Tesla?

Every major installer, every panel type. Union City's residential solar footprint runs heavy through New Park, Cabrillo, Rancho Arroyo, and Hillview — with hillside arrays up through Mission Hills. We use deionized water and soft brushes — no soap, no streaks, no warranty issues. Tesla, SunPower, Enphase, Sunrun — all standard.

Do you handle commercial cleanings near Union Landing and the BART corridor?

Yes. We work commercial properties along the Union Landing shopping district, the Mission Boulevard corridor, the office and light-industrial buildings around Union City BART station, and the warehouse corridor along Whipple Road and 880. Concrete and parking-area pressure washing, building soft-washes, window cleaning, gutter clears, and solar array maintenance — same owner-operated crew, scoped to the property.

What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (1,500–3,000+ PSI) for hard surfaces like concrete driveways and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure under 500 PSI combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions — the right method for stucco, wood siding, painted surfaces, and roof shingles. Using the wrong method can permanently damage surfaces, so we assess every property before we start.

Is it safe to pressure wash a roof?

No — never pressure-wash an asphalt shingle roof. High pressure strips the protective granules from shingles and voids most manufacturer warranties. The correct method is soft washing: low pressure plus an algaecide that kills moss, algae, and lichen at the biological level so it rinses off safely.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Bull Run Exterior Wash LLC is fully licensed and carries liability insurance. Your property is protected on every job.

How fast can you get out for a free Union City estimate?

Most estimates happen within 24–48 hours of your call. Call or text (408) 598-1857 — we reply fast and schedule around what works for you.
