We recently wrapped up a quick but important job at the 7-11 on Lakeshore: a full dumpster corral cleaning and refinishing. It’s not the most glamorous part of a property, but it plays a bigger role than most realize. A clean, well-maintained dumpster area keeps your commercial property looking professional and intentional—front to back.

This corral had seen better days. Algae buildup and grime had taken over, and the old paint was peeling in patches. First step was a thorough power washing to remove years of dirt and organic growth. Once dry, we scraped any loose paint to make sure the surface was ready to take new stain.

We went with a solid body stain for this one. It’s perfect for jobs like this—great coverage, long-lasting, and it hides imperfections from wear and tear. The neutral tone fits the surroundings and helps the enclosure blend in cleanly without standing out.

Power washing and staining a dumpster corral may not seem like a big deal, but these small details matter. A clean, maintained back lot helps keep the entire property looking sharp and taken care of. That’s what customers and tenants notice—even if they don’t realize it.

If your commercial space could use a refresh—dumpster corral, siding, walkways—we’re ready. Clean, simple work that lasts.
