PRESSURE WASHING · APOPKA, LONGWOOD, LAKE MARY & WINTER GARDEN
Florida grows mildew on everything. We soft wash the surfaces that would be damaged by pressure and use pressure where it belongs, so the house gets clean without the paint coming off with it.
WHAT WE CLEAN
A 3,500 psi wand will strip paint off siding and etch lines into concrete. Knowing which surface takes what is most of this job.
Stucco, siding, trim and soffit soft washed with a cleaning solution that kills the mildew rather than just knocking the top layer off. Low pressure, no etching.
Concrete gets a surface cleaner rather than a wand, so you end up with an even finish instead of a zebra pattern of overlapping stripes.
Cleaned at a pressure that lifts the growth without blowing the joint sand out. If you are sealing afterward, this is the step that determines the result.
Screen enclosures, cages and painted deck coatings. We work around the pool and the screens carefully, because both are easy to damage.
Shingle and tile roofs get soft washed only. Pressure on a Florida shingle roof takes the granules with it and shortens the roof's life.
Wood cleaned at low pressure to lift the gray without furring the grain. If it is going to be stained after, this is the prep.
RECENT WORK
Most of these homes were washed as the first step of a repaint. Plenty of people book the wash by itself and put the paint off another two years, which is a fine call when the coating is still sound.
HOW WE WORK
Three steps, and the first one is the reason we do not blow out your window seals.
Before any water goes on the house:
The method changes with the surface:
Washing a house is the best inspection it will get all year. What turns up, you hear about:
RELATED SERVICES
Clean pavers hold sealer. Clean stucco holds paint. And a wash usually finds the soft wood nobody knew about. We do all of it ourselves and quote it together.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Once a year for most homes, and once every two years if you have little shade and good drainage. North-facing walls and anything under an oak go first, because that is where the moisture sits.
Not the way we do it. Soft washing uses volume and a cleaning solution instead of pressure. High pressure on stucco opens hairline cracks and drives water into the wall, which is exactly what you do not want.
We wet landscaping down before and rinse it after, and cover what needs covering. Tell us about anything delicate or newly planted and we will work around it.
A house wash on a typical single-story is half a day. Adding the driveway, walkway and pool deck usually makes it a full day. Two-story homes with a lot of hardscape can run into a second morning.
Usually, yes. Those streaks are algae, and they come off with a soft wash. We will not put pressure on a shingle roof, because that strips the granules and costs you years of roof life.
No. We need water access and the windows closed. If you want the walkthrough at the end, we will schedule it for when you are back.
