About Joshua

Building Relationships That Last

Joshua Martarella serves as Director of Sales at Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance, San Ramon's first Diamond Certified exterior cleaning company. Founded by Brandon Cody Sr., the company has earned over 500 five-star reviews and an A+ BBB rating across the East Bay. Josh leads the commercial sales division, working directly with property managers, facility directors, and HOA boards to deliver exterior maintenance programs that protect property value and maintain compliance.

Before joining Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance, Josh spent 20 years in real estate, working every side of the industry. He bought, sold, repaired, and brokered homes and loans across the Bay Area. He started in multi-family, buying and selling apartments and managing his own properties alongside homes and small commercial buildings. He completed coursework with CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) in the commercial realm and earned his GRI (Graduate, REALTOR Institute) and CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) designations for single-family sales.

That background gives him a rare perspective at Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance. He understands property valuation, curb appeal, and what facility managers and property owners actually need from their maintenance partners because he has been on their side of the table.

Josh currently serves as president of the Lake Forest Volunteer Fire Department in Lassen County, California. He joined the board shortly after the Hog Fire in 2020, having been evacuated from his cabin there twice during the pandemic when wildfires got dangerously close. He served as a board member for three years before being elected president two years ago. That firsthand experience with wildfire response and fire prevention directly informs his work at Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance, helping homeowners and property managers navigate fire-related insurance requirements and exterior maintenance documentation.

He lives and works in the same East Bay communities Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance services. His approach is straightforward: understand what the property needs, build a maintenance plan that delivers measurable results, and follow through every time.

Community Leadership & Fire Safety

Protecting Properties and Communities

Joshua Martarella serves as president of the Lake Forest Volunteer Fire Department in Lassen County, California, where he leads fire prevention programs, coordinates emergency response training, and supports wildfire preparedness for the rural community around Lake Forest.

Josh joined the board shortly after the Hog Fire swept through the area in 2020. He and his family had been evacuated from their cabin on two separate occasions during the pandemic when wildfires got close. Rather than stand by, he joined the volunteer fire department to be more involved and more aware of what was happening in a community where he remains a part-time resident with deep ties.

He served as a board member for three years before being elected president, a role he has held for the last two years.

That firsthand experience with wildfire evacuation and fire prevention translates directly into his work at PPWPM. Many California homeowners face insurance cancellations and non-renewal notices because their properties do not meet fire-safe exterior maintenance standards. Roofs with moss, lichen, or organic debris get flagged as fire hazards. Clogged gutters filled with dry leaves become ignition points. Properties without documented maintenance histories face higher premiums or outright cancellation.

Through Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance, Josh helps homeowners and property managers address these risks. The company's roof soft washing, gutter cleaning, and fire-safe exterior maintenance services include full before-and-after photo documentation and inspection reports that insurance brokers can use to reinstate policies or prevent cancellation.

Fire Insurance & Property Protection

Helping Homeowners Keep Their Insurance Coverage

Across California, homeowners are receiving fire insurance cancellation notices because their properties do not meet updated fire-safe maintenance standards. Insurance companies are conducting aerial and ground inspections, flagging roofs with moss, lichen, or organic debris as fire hazards. Gutters filled with dry leaves and pine needles are identified as ignition points. Properties without documented exterior maintenance histories face premium increases or outright non-renewal.

As someone who has lived through wildfire evacuations in Lassen County and now serves as president of the Lake Forest Volunteer Fire Department, Josh understands these risks firsthand. He has seen what happens when properties are not maintained to fire-safe standards and what happens to communities when fire insurance coverage disappears.

Through Professional Powerwashing & Property Maintenance, Josh connects homeowners and property managers with the exterior cleaning and insurance restoration documentation they need to prevent cancellation or reinstate lapsed policies. Every service comes with timestamped before-and-after photography, detailed inspection reports, and maintenance logs that insurance brokers can submit directly to carriers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Fire Insurance and Property Maintenance

Why is my fire insurance being cancelled in California?+

Insurance companies across California are increasing inspections and cancelling policies on properties that do not meet fire-safe maintenance standards. Common reasons include moss or organic debris on roofs, clogged gutters with dry leaves, unmaintained exterior surfaces, and lack of documented maintenance history. Properties in high-fire-risk zones are being scrutinized more closely, and many homeowners are receiving non-renewal notices even in suburban areas like the East Bay.

Can roof cleaning help me keep my homeowners insurance?+
