Pressure Washing in Melbourne, FL

Two very different housing stocks, two different problems

Melbourne is really two cleaning markets. The older parts of the city — downtown, Eau Gallie, the streets running toward the river — sit under a mature oak canopy. Those homes get leaf litter in the gutters, shade that keeps roofs damp well into the morning, and consequently roofs that go green faster than the sun exposure alone would suggest.

The newer subdivisions west of I-95 have the opposite profile: full sun, little shade, paver driveways and tile roofs. There the issue is less about persistent damp and more about UV fading, and about paver joints losing their sand.

Shaded roofs need a shorter interval

If your roof spends the morning under an oak, it will re-streak sooner than the same roof would in open sun — that is simply how the organism works. It does not mean cleaning is not worth doing; it means the sensible interval is closer to 18 months than three years. We will tell you honestly which category your roof falls into when we quote it.
