Plantation pressure & soft washing — what we clean
- House & exterior washing — siding, stucco, soffits, and trim, soft-washed to lift dirt, salt, and black streaks without damage.
- Roof soft washing — low-pressure removal of the algae and dark streaks that bake onto Florida tile and shingle roofs.
- Driveways, pavers & walkways — deep-cleaned and brightened, with re-sanding available.
- Pool decks, lanais & screens — safely cleaned at the right pressure for each surface.
Soft washing — the right method for Plantation
Here's what most companies in Plantation get wrong: blasting delicate surfaces with high pressure. High PSI cracks roof tile, dislodges shingle granules, gouges soft stucco, and strips paint. Soft washing uses low pressure plus specialized, biodegradable solutions that kill algae and mildew at the root and rinse away safely. The result is a deeper clean that stays clean far longer — with zero risk to your Plantation home's finishes. We use true pressure only where it belongs, like concrete driveways.
Why Plantation exteriors get dirty so fast
Florida's heat and humidity are a greenhouse for mold, mildew, and algae, and Plantation's Atlantic salt air and sprinkler overspray accelerate the staining on roofs, siding, and pavers. Black roof streaks aren't just ugly — they trap heat and shorten roof life. Our soft wash removes the staining and slows its return, protecting your surfaces and your curb appeal.
Pressure & Soft Washing in Plantation, FL — local know-how
Plantation is solidly inland Broward, so salt air isn't your enemy here — humidity and heavy tree cover are. The mature oaks and ficus shading Plantation Acres and the older Jacaranda streets keep surfaces damp, feeding black Gloeocapsa algae that streaks across barrel-tile roofs, paver driveways, and screened pool cages. On Plantation's big acreage lots, long concrete drives and walkways turn green and slick fast, while sprinkler systems running on well or reclaimed water bake hard-water spots onto your glass and screens. Our low-pressure soft wash lifts roof and paver algae without blasting grout or cracking tile, and our pure-water, deionized window system rinses away mineral spotting for a truly streak-free finish. Come hurricane season, we also clear the leaf-packed gutters that overflow and stain Plantation's stucco and soffits.
Pressure & Soft Washing in Plantation — FAQs
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?+
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (1,500–3,000 PSI) — right for hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure (under ~300 PSI) plus cleaning solutions — the safe method for roofs, siding, screens, and anything delicate. We use the correct method for each surface on your Plantation property.
Is it safe to pressure wash my roof?+
No — high pressure damages roofs by cracking tile and stripping shingle granules. We soft wash roofs in Plantation, which safely removes algae and black streaks at the root and keeps your roof intact and under warranty.
How much does pressure washing cost in Plantation?+
It depends on the surfaces and square footage — a driveway is very different from a full house-and-roof soft wash. We give you a free, exact quote up front so you know the price before we start.
Will soft washing damage my plants or pavers?+
No. We pre-treat and rinse landscaping and use the right low-pressure approach for each surface, so your Plantation pavers, screens, and plants are protected throughout.
What parts of Plantation do you cover?+
All of Plantation — Jacaranda, Plantation Acres, Plantation Gardens, The Fountains, Central Park, and surrounding neighborhoods across the 33317, 33322, 33324, and 33388 ZIPs.
Why is my driveway turning green in Plantation?+
Plantation's dense tree shade and humidity keep concrete damp, which grows algae and mold quickly. Our soft wash safely removes it and brightens the surface without etching the concrete.
How often should I schedule exterior cleaning?+
For most Plantation homes, two to three cleanings a year keeps windows and surfaces looking sharp. Heavily shaded lots in Plantation Acres often benefit from more frequent soft washing.
Do I have to be home, and are you licensed and insured?+
You don't need to be home for exterior services. Fresh Frames is fully licensed and insured for every job we perform in Plantation.
