Which method fits your siding?
Most house exteriors in Florida should be soft washed, not pressure washed. Pick your surface to see why.
Stucco
Method
Apply a cleaning solution at low pressure, let it work on algae and mildew, then rinse gently.
Equipment
Soft-wash pump with low-flow nozzles.
We avoid
High pressure, which opens cracks and drives water into the wall.
Vinyl and fiber-cement siding
Method
Low-pressure application and a controlled rinse that stays out of seams.
Equipment
Soft-wash pump, extension pole for upper walls.
We avoid
Spraying upward under siding laps.
Painted wood and trim
Method
Gentle solution and low-pressure rinse so paint is cleaned, not stripped.
Equipment
Soft-wash pump and soft brush where needed.
We avoid
High pressure and close-range tips on paint.
Brick and concrete block
Method
Solution and low-pressure rinse. Block with heavy staining is tested first.
Equipment
Soft-wash pump, wand for textured block.
We avoid
Aggressive pressure that erodes mortar.
Roofs and screens
Method
These are separate services done at low pressure with the right solution.
Equipment
Soft-wash pump.
We avoid
Pressure washing shingles or screens.

Why Tampa houses turn green
Humidity, summer rain and shade keep walls damp for months. These are the problems we see most on Tampa Bay homes.
Green algae on shaded walls
North-facing and tree-shaded walls stay damp after summer storms, and algae takes hold on stucco and siding.
The cleaning solution breaks the growth down at low pressure, then we rinse it away.
Black mildew streaks
Mildew collects under eaves, around gutters and behind shrubs, where the air moves least.
Heavy spots get more time with the solution, never a high-pressure tip that scars stucco.
Sprinkler spray
Irrigation that hits the house every week keeps the lower wall wet and dirty.
We clean the lower band of the wall along with the rest of the house.
Spring pollen
Oak and pine pollen leaves a yellow film on walls, screens and window sills every spring.
A soft wash lifts the film without pressure on paint or screens.
How we protect your plants and your house
We use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions. Before we start, we wet your plants so they hold water instead of solution, and we rinse them again when we finish. Doors and windows stay closed, outlets and fixtures are kept out of the solution, and we never spray upward under siding laps, where water can get behind the wall.
How often a house needs it
It depends on the house. Shaded walls and walls that sprinklers hit get dirty faster than sunny ones. We recommend a schedule after we see how fast your walls get dirty.
What sets the price
House washing is priced per job, mainly by how much wall there is to clean.
Wall area
The square footage of exterior wall, not the floor area of the house.
Number of stories
Two-story walls need extension equipment and more time than one story.
Amount of growth
A light film rinses off quickly; heavy black mildew needs more solution and more time.
Surfaces and details
Painted wood, delicate trim and many windows take more care.
Access
Fences, dense landscaping or slopes around the house change the setup.
Anything you add
Roof, driveway or pool cage cleaning is quoted separately.

Questions about house washing in Tampa
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution; pressure washing uses high pressure. Soft washing is for stucco, siding, paint and roofs, and pressure washing is for hard surfaces like concrete and pavers.
Is soft washing safe for stucco?
Yes. Soft washing is the right method for stucco, because high pressure can crack it and force water inside the wall.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants?
We use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions, and we wet your plants before we start and rinse them again when we finish. Tell us about any plants you are worried about when you book.
Can you wash a two-story house?
Yes. We wash one- and two-story homes and reach the upper walls with extension equipment.
Will the algae come back?
It can. In Tampa's humidity algae and mildew grow back over time, faster on shaded walls, so we tell you what to expect for your house and how often a wash is worth it.
Do you clean roofs too?
Yes, as a separate service. Roof cleaning is also a low-pressure soft wash, never high pressure.
How much does house washing cost?
It depends mainly on the wall area and the number of stories. The estimate is free, and we confirm the final price before any work starts.
