A green-streaked driveway or blotchy walkway ages your whole house — and in Florida it's usually the first thing an HOA letter mentions. The fix isn't just "more pressure." It's the right pressure, on the right surface, with the right technique — which is exactly where most rushed wash jobs go wrong.
How we do it: hard mineral surfaces — concrete driveways, pavers, sidewalks, curbing — get cleaned with a professional surface cleaner instead of a handheld wand, so you get one even finish instead of the zebra stripes a wand leaves behind. Before any water hits the surface, we pre-treat with a cleaning solution that kills the algae and mold growing in the surface, not just the grime sitting on it — that's why our driveways stay clean for months instead of weeks. And anything that isn't hard masonry — stucco, siding, screens, roofs — never gets blasted at all: it gets soft washing, the low-pressure method that cleans without stripping paint or voiding roof warranties.
Florida is brutal on hardscape: summer humidity feeds algae in every shaded seam, sprinkler runoff leaves rust trails, oak and palm drop tannin stains, and salt air keeps everything damp enough to regrow. A once-a-year professional wash — ideally before hurricane season — keeps surfaces safe to walk on, HOA-compliant, and looking like the home you actually own.
Scope includes driveways, sidewalks and walkways, pool decks and patios, pavers (with optional sealing after), curbing, and exterior hardscape. Most homes pair it with house washing or roof soft washing for a whole-exterior reset in one visit.

Florida heat and humidity turn roofs, pergolas and patios green and black. Here's the difference our wash makes — roofs and delicate surfaces soft-washed (never high pressure), hard surfaces surface-cleaned.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?+
Pressure washing uses high pressure for hard surfaces like concrete; soft washing uses low pressure plus cleaning solutions for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and screens. We use the right method for each surface.
Is it safe to pressure wash my roof?+
No — high pressure damages roofs. We soft wash roofs, which safely removes algae and black streaks at the root and protects your warranty.
What are the black streaks and green stains on my roof and siding?+
The black streaks are a hardy algae called Gloeocapsa magma, and the green or gray patches are mold, mildew, and lichen — all of which thrive in Florida's heat, humidity, and summer rainy season. They hold moisture against your roof, stucco, and screens and spread fast once the rains set in. Soft washing kills the growth at the root with low pressure so it doesn't simply return after the next storm, which also protects your shingles, tile, and paint.
How much does pressure washing cost?+
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.
How often should I wash my home's exterior?+
Soft-wash results on a roof or exterior typically last 6–12+ months; driveways do well about once a year. Florida's humidity speeds up regrowth, so coastal and shaded homes may want it more often.
Will it damage my plants or pavers?+
No — we pre-treat and rinse landscaping and use the correct low-pressure approach for each surface, so your plants, pavers, and screens are protected.
I got an HOA violation letter about my roof, driveway, or exterior — what do I do?+
Most Florida HOA exterior notices come down to three things: dark roof streaking, mildew or algae on stucco and siding, or a stained driveway — and all three are curable in one visit, not a repair. Under the commonly-cited Florida framework (F.S. §720.305 / §720.3035), owners typically get at least 14 days' written notice and a hearing before a fine can attach, with fines commonly capped at one hundred dollars per violation, up to one thousand dollars total — general FL framing, not legal advice, so always follow your own HOA's letter and timeline. Map the fix to the finding: roof algae streaking needs soft-wash roof cleaning, stucco or siding mildew needs a full house wash, and a stained driveway needs pressure washing. Tell us the violation and we'll give you a free, exact estimate and get you scheduled before your cure deadline.
