How much does it cost to pressure wash a house in Melbourne, FL?
It depends on the size of the home, how many surfaces are involved and how much buildup there is — a single-story house wash is very different from a two-story house wash plus roof and driveway. That's why every quote is free and specific to your property rather than a generic per-square-foot number. Most quotes come back the same day. For reference, driveway cleaning beyond our free 1,000 sq ft offer is priced at $0.12 per additional square foot.
Is soft washing safe for an asphalt shingle roof?
Yes — soft washing is the method the shingle manufacturers themselves recommend. It uses low pressure plus professional cleaning solutions to kill the algae and mold at the source. High-pressure washing on shingles is what causes damage: it strips the protective granules and shortens the life of the roof. We never put high pressure on a shingle roof.
How often should I have my roof and house washed in Florida?
In Brevard County's heat, humidity and salt air, most homes look their best on a yearly schedule for the house, driveway and pool deck, and every 18 months to 2 years for the roof. Homes under heavy tree cover or close to the water tend to need it more often. Because soft washing kills the growth rather than just rinsing it, results last considerably longer than a plain pressure wash.
Can you remove rust and well-water stains from concrete?
Yes. Orange rust and well-water sprinkler stains need a specific rust-removal treatment — general pressure washing won't touch them, which is why so many homeowners assume they're permanent. It's one of the jobs we get called about most, and it's one customers regularly say they'd tried and failed to fix themselves.
Do I need to be home while you work?
No. We just need access to the areas being cleaned and an outdoor water spigot. Plenty of our customers have us clean while they're at work or out of town — we're licensed, insured and careful with your property, and we'll let you know when we're done.
What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water and is right for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, sidewalks and pavers. Soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning solutions, and is what delicate surfaces need — roofs, stucco, siding, soffits, screens and painted wood. Using the wrong one causes damage, so we choose the method surface by surface on every job.
How long does paver sealing last?
Sealed pavers in Florida typically hold up for around 3 to 5 years before they're ready for another coat, depending on sun exposure and traffic. Sealing brings the color back, locks the joint sand in place so weeds and ants stay out, and makes the surface far easier to keep clean in the meantime.
