House washing in Jacksonville →What We Do
Pressure Washing Services Jacksonville
We provide pressure washing services for residential and commercial properties throughout Jacksonville, with specialized exterior cleaning for homes, roofs, concrete, pool decks, pavers, fences, gutters and other outdoor surfaces. Every surface has a different tolerance for pressure, cleaning solutions and dwell time, so we choose the method according to the material and its condition — from soft washing for roofs and siding to controlled pressure and surface cleaning for concrete and other hard flatwork.
Our Services
Our Exterior Cleaning Services
A roof, a driveway and a pool cage each need different equipment, different pressure and, in most cases, a different cleaning solution. They stay separate services so the method and the price are clear before we arrive.
Pick the surface you need cleaned, or call and describe what you are seeing and we will tell you which service it is.
Roof Cleaning
Soft wash treatment for the black streaking on shingle, tile and metal roofs. No pressure on the roof surface at any point.

Driveway & Concrete Cleaning
Driveways, sidewalks, walkways, garage floors and entryways cleaned with a surface cleaner for an even finish, then post-treated.
Driveway and concrete cleaning →
Pool Deck & Patio Cleaning
Pavers, travertine, coated concrete and stamped surfaces, cleaned at a pressure that protects the finish and the texture underfoot.
Pool deck cleaning →
Screen Enclosure & Lanai Cleaning
Mesh, frames and kick plates on pool cages and lanais, cleaned without stretching or tearing the screen.
Screen enclosure cleaning →
Gutter Cleaning & Brightening
Two different jobs: clearing debris from inside the gutter, and removing the black striping from the outside.
Gutter cleaning →
Paver Cleaning, Re-Sanding & Sealing
Cleaning strips the joint sand, so refilling and sealing is part of doing the job properly.
Paver cleaning and sealing →
Deck & Fence Cleaning
Pressure-treated wood, composite decking, vinyl and wood fencing, each at its own pressure.
Deck and fence cleaning →
Mold, Mildew & Algae Removal
Exterior surfaces only, treated to kill the growth rather than knock the top layer off.
Exterior mold and mildew removal →
Rust, Oil & Stain Removal
Targeted treatment for the stains ordinary washing leaves behind: irrigation rust, oil and grease spots, and adhered gum, each of which needs a different product.

Who We Work For
Residential and Commercial Exterior Cleaning
The same services cover both property types. What changes is the scope and the scheduling.
Homeowners usually book around a season — pollen, a listing date, a party. Commercial properties and managed sites tend to run on a routine, where the same surfaces are cleaned on a set schedule to keep the frontage consistent.
Homes
Siding, driveways, roofs, pool decks, fences, decks, gutters and windows — one surface at a time, or the whole exterior before a sale or after pollen season.
Commercial properties and HOAs
Entrances, walkways, breezeways, curbs and other high-visibility surfaces, scheduled around tenants and business hours. Recurring schedules are available where a property needs them.
Responsible for more than one property? Send us the sites and the surfaces and we will scope the whole thing in one estimate.
Surfaces
Cleaning Different Exterior Surfaces
Materials respond differently to pressure, cleaning solutions, agitation and dwell time. A setting that is right for a concrete driveway will streak stucco, fur up wood grain and tear pool-cage screening.
These are the surfaces we work on most often, and the constraint that decides how each one is cleaned.
Vinyl siding
Low pressure. The cleaning solution does the work, not the wand.
Stucco
Low pressure — high pressure pulls the finish coat off the wall.
Brick and fiber cement
Method set by the condition of the mortar and any coating.
Painted wood
Pressure kept low enough to leave sound paint where it is.
Concrete
Surface cleaner for an even finish across the slab, then post-treated.
Pavers
Cleaning lifts joint sand out with the growth, so re-sanding follows.
Travertine and pool decks
Adjusted to the material and the finish on it.
Wood and composite decking
Pressure limited so the grain does not fur up.
Vinyl and wood fencing
Two different materials, two different approaches.
Screen enclosures
The screening sets the pressure, not the frame.
Gutters
Interior debris and exterior staining are two separate jobs.
Suitable roofing materials
Soft wash only — no pressure on the roof surface.
The goal is never maximum pressure. It is the lowest pressure that will actually clean the surface.
Method
Why the Cleaning Method Matters
Most of what makes a property look dirty in Florida is organic — algae, mildew and mold. Removing only the visible buildup with excessive pressure may not address the underlying organic growth, which can allow staining to return.
Our sequence is the same on every job: assess the surface, judge its condition, identify the buildup, then choose the method — and only then start.
Pressure washing
Controlled water pressure. Appropriate for concrete, pavers and other hard flatwork that can take it.
Soft washing
Low pressure plus a cleaning solution. Used on roofs, siding, screen enclosures and anything pressure would mark.
Surface cleaning
A rotating flat-surface attachment that cleans concrete in even passes instead of leaving wand stripes across the slab.
Cleaning solution and dwell time
The solution needs time on the surface to break down organic growth. Rushing the dwell is what pushes people into raising the pressure instead.
Post-treatment
A light application after the rinse on suitable flatwork, so regrowth takes longer to come back.
How It Works
How an Exterior Clean Works,
Step by Step
From the first walk of the property to the last pass, here is what actually happens and why each step is there.
01
Estimate and Surface Assessment
We look at the property, identify every surface and its condition, and work out the method for each. That includes flagging anything that will not fully come out, before we quote, not after.
02
Protecting Plants, Electrical and Fixtures
Plants and beds get soaked with plain water first, so the first thing they take up is water rather than product, and they get covered on hot days. Outlets, meters and exterior fixtures are taped.
03
Cleaning Solution and Dwell Time
Where a solution is appropriate it goes on at low pressure and is left to work. Dwell time is what does the cleaning, and it varies with temperature — the same mix works faster on a warm afternoon than in January. Rushing this step is a common reason a wash comes out patchy.
04
Rinse and Post-Treatment
Everything is rinsed at a pressure appropriate to the surface. Post-treatment helps address remaining organic growth and can help slow its return on suitable flatwork.
05
Final Walkthrough
We walk the property with you before we pack up. If something needs another pass, it gets another pass.
Property Maintenance
Exterior Cleaning as Property Maintenance
Exterior cleaning is easiest to justify as maintenance rather than a one-off tidy-up. Organic growth holds moisture against siding, wood and roofing, and stains left long enough become harder to remove.
Routine exterior cleaning can also make visible issues easier to notice, such as loose fascia, blocked downspouts, deteriorating sealant or areas of recurring organic growth.
Cleaning frequency depends on the surface, surrounding vegetation, shade, weather exposure and the amount of buildup. As a general starting point:
- House washing — roughly once a year
- Driveways and flatwork — a similar annual cycle
- Gutters — twice a year
- Roofs — less often, once streaking reappears
- Heavy shade, tree cover and coastal exposure shorten every interval
Serving Jacksonville-Area Properties
Jacksonville's humidity, rainfall, shade and coastal exposure can contribute to algae, mildew, pollen and other exterior buildup. North-facing walls and shaded slabs stay damp longest, which is usually where growth shows up first.
Add irrigation rust on driveways and organic staining under tree cover, and exterior cleaning tends to become ongoing maintenance rather than an occasional job.
We cover Jacksonville and the surrounding area, including Duval County, Clay County, St Johns County and Nassau County. See the areas we serve for the full list.
Managing a business property, community or managed site? Those are scoped and scheduled differently. See commercial pressure washing in Jacksonville.

Each has its own page with the full scope and pricing.
No. Roofs, siding, screen enclosures and most painted surfaces are soft washed at low pressure with a cleaning solution. Controlled pressure is reserved for concrete, pavers and other hard flatwork that can take it without damage. The method is chosen during the on-site assessment, based on the material, its condition and the type of buildup on it.
Pressure washing cleans with controlled water pressure. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution that is given time to break down organic growth before rinsing. Soft washing is the correct method anywhere pressure would mark, streak or damage the surface.
Soft washing. Vinyl, stucco, fiber cement and painted wood are all cleaned at low pressure, because high pressure can force water behind siding, streak stucco and lift sound paint. The cleaning solution and its dwell time do the work on these surfaces, and the rinse is kept gentle. Details are on the house washing page.
Yes. Most properties book more than one surface at a time — a house wash with the driveway, or a pool deck with the screen enclosure — and handling them in a single visit is usually more efficient than separate trips. List every area you want cleaned when you request the estimate so the quote covers all of it.
Yes. The same exterior cleaning services cover both — houses, driveways, pool decks and fences on the residential side, and entrances, walkways, breezeways and other high-visibility surfaces for commercial properties, HOAs and managed sites. What changes is the scope and the scheduling, and recurring visits are available where a property needs them.
Tell us the surface and what you are seeing — dirt, black streaks on the roof, green growth along a shaded wall, rust marks near a sprinkler head. That pairing of material and symptom is normally enough to identify the right service over the phone, and we confirm it during the on-site assessment before quoting.
Call us or send the contact form with the property address, the surfaces you want cleaned and your preferred timing. We look at the actual surfaces, choose the method for each and give you a written price before any work starts.
