“Most pressure washing is surface-level. I know concrete and exterior materials at a deeper level — which surfaces take 3,000 PSI, which need 1,500, and which need chemistry, not pressure.”
— Shane Smith, Founder

Shane's Story

I didn't just wake up with a pressure washer. My background is in the concrete industry, where I spent over a decade learning surfaces—how they're built, how they deteriorate, and how to restore them properly.

That technical foundation matters. Most pressure washing is surface-level, but I understand concrete and exterior materials at a deeper level. I know which surfaces can handle 3000 PSI and which need 1500. I know how different weather conditions affect drying times. I know when to use hot water versus cold. That expertise means your property is genuinely protected while still getting genuinely clean.

Why I Started Balcony Boss

After years in concrete work, I noticed homeowners and property managers needed someone they could trust—someone who would show up, do quality work without unnecessary upselling, and actually care about the result. Not a franchise. Not someone cutting corners. Just solid work from someone who knows what he's doing.

Balcony Boss is built on that foundation: decade-plus experience, attention to detail, and genuine pride in getting it right.

My Approach

Right Pressure for Every Surface

Concrete can take high pressure. Wood and composites need a gentler touch. I adjust to the material, not the other way around.

No Damage, Just Clean

Every surface is different. I assess your property, identify potential vulnerabilities, and clean without harm.

Transparent Communication

You'll get a fair quote upfront. No hidden fees. If something changes, I'll tell you before it impacts your bill.

Local, Accountable Service

I'm based right here in Calgary. Every job is walked before we leave — if anything isn't right, we fix it on the spot.

Looking Ahead

Right now, Balcony Boss is focused on pressure washing done right. That focus lets me master every detail. As we grow, we'll expand into broader exterior and concrete services—always with the same commitment to quality and local service.

If you're looking for someone who understands surfaces, takes pride in the work, and won't rush the job, let's talk.

Where Balcony Boss is today

Straight talk — because that's how we want to do business.

  • Newly launched Calgary business. We are actively booking our first client walkthroughs right now.
  • Certificate of Insurance provided before work begins. A Certificate of Insurance is provided to every client at the start of the job, before any work begins on their property — non-negotiable on our end.
  • No backlog of reviews yet. What we do have is a written procedures document that spells out exactly how we clean every surface, and the brand guidelines we hold ourselves to.
  • Every early client gets asked for an honest Google review. That's the only way we earn the reputation we're committed to building.
