Can you clean my roof without causing damage? We've heard about soft washing and are curious if you use this method on roofs?We understand your concerns about roof cleaning and yes, we utilize a technique called soft washing for roof cleaning. Soft washing is a gentle and effective method that involves using low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, moss, and other contaminants from your roof. This approach ensures thorough cleaning without causing any damage to your roofing materials, including shingles. Unlike high-pressure washing, which could potentially harm the roof's integrity, soft washing is designed to be safe and non-intrusive. Our experienced professionals are trained in the proper application of soft washing methods, and they take into consideration the specific type of roofing material you have. Soft washing cleans, refreshens, enhances the appearance of your home and also extends the lifespan of your roofing system.

How Often Should I Have My Property Pressure Washed?In Orlando, Florida, the humid subtropical climate and frequent rainfall can contribute to the buildup of dirt, mold, and mildew on various surfaces. Here are some recommendations: Driveways and Walkways: Twice a year might be beneficial. Once before the wet season, typically in spring, and once after the rainy season, in fall. Decks and Patios: Orlando's climate encourages the growth of mold and mildew. Pressure washing decks and patios twice a year, especially in preparation for summer and after the rainy season, can help maintain their appearance and safety. Siding and Exterior Walls: The humid conditions in Orlando can lead to rapid accumulation of dirt and mildew. Consider pressure washing siding every 1-2 years to keep it looking fresh and clean. Fences: Because of the moisture-rich environment, pressure washing fences every 1-2 years is recommended in Orlando to prevent discoloration and buildup. Keep in mind that these recommendations are approximate and can vary based on individual circumstances. Factors like the level of shade your property receives, proximity to trees, and the type of surfaces you have can impact the frequency of pressure washing.
