Pressure Washing
In Brevard County, heat, humidity, and frequent rain create the perfect conditions for mildew, algae, mold, and pollen to build up quickly on exterior surfaces. Pressure washing can restore the look of a home, but results depend on using the right technique and pressure for each surface. Too much pressure or the wrong method can damage wood, stucco, paint, or roofing.

How We Approach It
-
Assess the surfaces
We evaluate what needs to be cleaned and check the condition of the materials. Different surfaces require different pressures and cleaning methods.
-
Protect the surrounding area
We cover or move plants, furniture, windows, and other items that could be affected by water or cleaning solutions.
-
Choose the right method
Some jobs need traditional pressure washing, while others (especially roofs and delicate surfaces) are better suited for soft washing with appropriate cleaning solutions.
-
Clean thoroughly
We apply the right pressure and cleaning agents to remove mildew, algae, dirt, and stains without damaging the surface.
-
Rinse and inspect
After cleaning, we rinse surfaces and check the results to make sure everything is properly cleaned.
What to Expect
Most pressure washing jobs take a few hours to a full day, depending on the size of the property and how many surfaces are being cleaned.
You'll usually see a noticeable difference immediately after cleaning. Some surfaces (especially roofs) may take a few days to fully brighten as the cleaning solution finishes working.
In Brevard conditions, most homes benefit from exterior cleaning once or twice a year due to the rapid buildup of mildew and algae.
Homeowner Tips
-
Not everything should be blasted with high pressure
Stucco, wood, and roofing can be damaged by too much pressure. We adjust the method and pressure based on the surface.
-
Mildew and algae come back
Florida's climate means these will return over time. Regular cleaning helps slow the buildup and keeps your home looking better between full washes.
-
Roofs are usually soft washed, not pressure washed
High pressure on a roof can damage shingles or tiles. Soft washing with the right cleaning solutions is safer and more effective for most roof types.
-
Protect plants and landscaping
We take steps to shield plants and grass from cleaning solutions, but it helps if you're aware that some overspray can occur.
-
Cleaning before painting or staining helps
Pressure washing (or soft washing) before painting or staining removes dirt and mildew so the new finish adheres better and lasts longer.
Common Questions
-
How often should I have my house pressure washed in Brevard?
-
Most homes benefit from exterior cleaning once or twice a year. Homes with heavy shade or near water often need it more frequently due to faster mildew growth.
-
Will pressure washing damage my stucco or paint?
-
It can if too much pressure is used. We adjust the pressure and technique based on the surface to avoid damage.
-
Do you clean roofs?
-
Yes. We use soft washing methods for roofs, which is safer and more effective than high-pressure washing on most roofing materials.
-
Is pressure washing the same as soft washing?
-
No. Traditional pressure washing uses higher pressure and water. Soft washing uses lower pressure with cleaning solutions that kill mildew and algae. We choose the method based on the surface.
-
Can I be home during the cleaning?
-
Yes. We just ask that windows and doors stay closed during the process and that you keep pets and children away from the work area until we're finished.
