What does pressure washing take off?
Pressure washing takes off the black streaks, green algae, mildew, dirt, and general grime that build up outdoors in Florida humidity. We clean concrete driveways, paver patios and walkways, pool decks and lanais, sidewalks, fences, and house exteriors, changing the pressure and method for each surface so we do not damage anything.
Nothing outdoors stays clean here for long. Constant damp feeds algae and mildew, sprinkler water leaves rust and mineral stains, and paver joints grow weeds and moss. Past looking bad, a green walkway or pool deck is slippery, which matters a lot if anyone in the house is unsteady on their feet.
When it is time
- Black streaks or green film on the driveway or walkway
- A pool deck or lanai that is slick underfoot
- Dingy pavers with weeds or moss in the joints
- Dirt, cobwebs, and mildew on siding and around the front door
- Getting the house ready for listing photos
How we do it
- Look at the surfacesConcrete, pavers, painted siding, and screen all get treated differently.
- Pre-treatA cleaner goes on first to break down the algae and mildew so we are not blasting it off with raw pressure.
- WashHigher pressure on concrete, soft washing on anything delicate.
- Rinse and checkFull rinse, then we go back over edges, corners, and joints.
What to know before you book
- Some stains do not come all the way out. Rust from sprinkler water, old oil, paint, and deep concrete staining often lighten rather than disappear. We will tell you what to expect before we start rather than after.
- Old or soft concrete, aging paint, and rotted wood can be damaged by any washing. If a surface looks marginal we will point it out and let you decide.
- Washing pavers pulls some joint sand out. Re-sanding is a separate job. Ask and we will price it with the wash.
- Roofs are not something we do. Roof cleaning needs a specialist with the right soft-wash setup and safety gear.
