Pressure Washing in Estero, FL
Mold, mildew, and algae do not take a season off in Southwest Florida. From green-stained driveways to black-streaked roofs, the humidity down here works on every exterior surface year-round. Our licensed team provides pressure washing and soft washing for homes across Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers.
You pull into the driveway after a week away and notice the concrete has turned dark green along the edges. The lanai screen is covered in a fine layer of grime. The north side of the house has visible black streaks running down the stucco. None of this happened overnight — Southwest Florida's heat and humidity create the perfect conditions for mold, mildew, and algae to establish themselves on every exterior surface of your home.
Driveway & Sidewalk Pressure Washing
Concrete driveways and sidewalks are the surfaces that take the most visible beating in SW Florida. Tire marks, oil stains, and algae growth combine to make a driveway look years older than it is. We use commercial-grade pressure washers at the appropriate PSI for concrete — strong enough to strip embedded grime, but controlled to avoid etching the surface. Sidewalks and walkways get the same treatment. If your driveway leads into a painting project, pressure washing is the first step in proper surface preparation.
Exterior House Washing (Soft Wash)
Most homes in Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers are stucco construction — and stucco cannot handle high-pressure washing. The force will gouge the surface, push water behind the coating, and lead to cracking and paint failure down the road. Our soft wash process uses low pressure combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills mold and algae at the root. The result is a clean exterior without any surface damage. North-facing walls tend to accumulate growth the fastest because they get the least direct sun, so these areas often need extra attention. If your home is due for repainting, a soft wash beforehand ensures the new paint adheres properly and lasts longer.
Pool Deck & Paver Cleaning
Algae on pool decks and pavers is more than a cosmetic issue — it is a slip-and-fall hazard, especially when wet. We clean concrete pool decks, travertine, brick pavers, and natural stone surfaces around pools and outdoor living areas. For pavers, we adjust pressure to clean effectively without displacing joint sand, and we can re-sand joints after cleaning if needed. Keeping your pool deck clean is a basic safety measure that most home maintenance programs include on an annual basis.
Lanai, Patio & Screen Enclosure Washing
Screen enclosures are everywhere in Southwest Florida, and they collect dirt, pollen, and mildew on both the screens and the aluminum frames. We wash the screens carefully using low pressure to avoid tearing or stretching, and we clean the cage framing, ceiling panels, and the concrete or paver floor inside. A clean lanai makes a noticeable difference in how much natural light gets through and how the space feels overall.
Roof Cleaning (Soft Wash Only)
Those black streaks on your roof are not just dirt — they are Gloeocapsa magma, an algae that feeds on the limestone filler in roofing materials. It is everywhere in SW Florida. We clean roofs using soft wash only — never pressure — because high-pressure water will crack tiles and strip the protective granules from shingles. Our cleaning solution kills the algae and the remaining discoloration fades over the following weeks as rain washes it away.
Fence, Deck & Pre-Painting Prep
Wood and vinyl fences, outdoor decks, and pergolas all benefit from periodic washing. For wood surfaces, we adjust pressure to clean without splintering or raising the grain excessively. Vinyl responds well to a soft wash approach. If you are planning any exterior home repairs or painting, pressure washing the surface first is a critical prep step. Paint applied over mold or grime will not bond properly and will peel within a year or two. Call us at (239) 880-2423 for a free estimate.

How Our Pressure Washing Process Works
We walk the property with you and assess every surface that needs cleaning. Stucco walls, concrete driveways, paver pool decks, tile roofs, and screen enclosures all require different pressure levels and cleaning solutions. You get a written estimate that covers exactly what we will clean and how.
Our crew pre-treats surfaces with the appropriate cleaning solution — a sodium hypochlorite blend for algae and mold, or a specialized surfactant for delicate stucco and painted surfaces. We protect landscaping, cover windows where needed, and stage equipment so the job runs efficiently from start to finish.
We clean each surface using the correct method — soft wash for stucco, roofs, and painted surfaces; standard pressure for concrete and pavers. After the wash, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure every area meets the standard. We clean up our equipment and leave the property looking the way it should.
Pressure washing before listing makes a real difference.
Buyers notice dirty driveways, stained pool decks, and algae-covered roofs the moment they pull up. A full exterior wash before listing is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make — it costs a few hundred dollars and can shift a buyer's first impression entirely. We handle the full exterior: driveway, house, roof, lanai, and pool deck.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pressure Washing
How much does pressure washing cost in Southwest Florida?
Driveway pressure washing in the Estero and Fort Myers area typically runs $150–$350 depending on size and staining. Full house soft washing ranges from $300–$600 for an average single-story home. Pool deck and paver cleaning falls in the $200–$400 range. We provide free written estimates so you know the exact cost before any work starts. Bundling multiple surfaces (driveway + house + pool deck) in one visit is the most cost-effective approach.
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (typically 2,500–4,000 PSI) to blast dirt and buildup off hard surfaces like concrete driveways and sidewalks. Soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) combined with a cleaning solution that kills mold, mildew, and algae at the root. Soft washing is required for stucco walls, painted surfaces, tile and shingle roofs, and screen enclosures — high pressure would damage these materials. In Southwest Florida, most exterior house washing is soft washing because the majority of homes are stucco construction.
How often should I have my home pressure washed in SW Florida?
Most Southwest Florida homeowners benefit from annual washing. The combination of heat, humidity, and afternoon rain creates ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and algae to grow year-round. North-facing walls and shaded areas may need attention more frequently. If you leave for the summer (as many snowbird residents do), scheduling a wash for your return in the fall is a good practice — several months of unoccupied summer humidity can leave the exterior looking rough. Some HOAs in communities like Pelican Landing, Shadow Wood, and Grandezza require homes to be maintained to a clean standard.
Is pressure washing safe for stucco homes?
Standard high-pressure washing is not safe for stucco — it will gouge the surface, force water behind the coating, and cause cracking and paint failure. Stucco requires soft washing, which uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to remove mold, mildew, and algae without damaging the finish. Since the vast majority of homes in Estero, Naples, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers are stucco construction, this is the method we use for almost every house wash. We adjust the solution concentration and dwell time based on the severity of the buildup and the condition of the existing paint.
Can you clean tile and shingle roofs without causing damage?
Yes. Roof cleaning is done exclusively with soft wash methods — no pressure whatsoever on roofing materials. The black streaks you see on most roofs in Southwest Florida are caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles and tiles. Our soft wash solution kills the algae and lets rain gradually rinse the remaining discoloration over the following weeks. High-pressure washing would crack tiles, strip granules from shingles, and void most roofing warranties. We also clean the gutters and fascia while we are up there.
