House washing
Salt air and humidity leave Siesta Key homes coated in mildew, algae and grime faster than almost anywhere inland. We soft wash stucco, painted walls and siding to clean them without causing damage.
Get a quote for House washingSiesta Key is harder on exterior surfaces than most people expect. Salt air carries moisture and mineral deposits into every seam and pore. Summer humidity lingers long after a storm passes. Sand works its way into screen mesh and grout lines. The result is mildew, algae and rust stains that come back faster here than they do even a few miles inland. Siesta Key Pressure Washing focuses on the surfaces that take the most punishment in this environment: stucco and painted walls, tile and shingle roofs, concrete driveways, pavers, pool decks, lanais, docks and seawalls. The right cleaning method depends on what the surface is made of. We use low-pressure soft washing on anything that can be damaged by a hard stream of water, and higher pressure only where the surface can handle it, such as concrete and pavers. That distinction matters, and it is worth understanding before any contractor shows up at your home.

Get a quote for Window and screen enclosure cleaningHouse washing covers the full exterior of a home or condo, including stucco, painted siding, soffits and fascia. Stucco is porous, which means algae and mildew get below the surface layer quickly. A soft wash approach uses a low-pressure rinse combined with a cleaning solution that kills what is living in the surface rather than just blasting off what is visible. That means the result lasts longer than a straight pressure wash would, and there is no risk of gouging the stucco or forcing water behind the paint film.
Roof soft washing treats tile and shingle roofs the same way. High pressure on a shingle roof knocks off the granules that protect the mat underneath. On a tile roof it can crack or dislodge tiles and break the mortar at the ridgeline. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that removes algae, lichen and the black streaking caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles. A roof that looks black-streaked is not just dirty. The bacteria is actively shortening the life of the surface, so cleaning it is maintenance, not cosmetic.
Driveway and paver cleaning uses higher pressure because concrete and brick can take it. Salt air and organic debris leave stains that soft washing alone will not lift off a hard, dense surface. Pavers also tend to collect sand and debris in the joints, and cleaning restores drainage and prevents the kind of organic growth that eventually shifts the sand base and causes individual pavers to rock.
Pool deck and lanai cleaning addresses the surfaces that get the most foot traffic and sit closest to water. Algae on a wet pool deck is a slip hazard. Mildew on a lanai ceiling or screen frame is a maintenance issue that gets worse the longer it sits. These surfaces are typically concrete, tile or painted block, and the cleaning method is matched to the material.
Dock and seawall cleaning deals with the specific combination of salt water, sun and biological growth that marine surfaces face. Algae, barnacle residue and rust staining from metal fittings are common. The goal is to remove the buildup without damaging the seawall surface or the dock boards.
Window and screen enclosure cleaning removes the salt film, algae and oxidation that builds up on aluminum frames and fiberglass mesh. A soft wash approach protects the mesh from tearing and keeps the frames from being bent or dented by a high-pressure stream held too close.
If you can see black streaking or green patches on your roof, that is biological growth and it will not go away on its own. If your driveway or pavers have rust-colored staining near irrigation heads, that is mineral deposit from the irrigation water. If your pool deck feels slick in spots, that is algae. Any of these are worth addressing before they become a repair bill.
The surfaces that suffer most from incorrect cleaning are roofs, stucco and screen enclosures. If a contractor proposes to pressure wash your shingle roof or blast your stucco at full pressure, that is worth questioning. Ask specifically what pressure they plan to use and whether they will apply a cleaning solution or use water alone. The answers tell you a lot.
On Siesta Key specifically, the salt air means that even recently cleaned surfaces will begin to show algae and mildew again within a season or two. That is normal for the island. How long the results last depends partly on the cleaning method and partly on the surface itself. Roofs, stucco and shaded areas tend to show regrowth faster than open concrete in full sun.
