Florida is harder on exteriors than most of the country. Mold and mildew can come back within 60–90 days. For most homes we recommend cleaning once or twice a year. Commercial properties usually need quarterly service to stay ahead of it — that's why we offer recurring maintenance plans.

Concrete, pavers, brick, stone, vinyl siding, stucco, hardie board, fencing, decks, patios, and most roofing materials can all be safely cleaned with the right method. Delicate surfaces — painted wood, shingles, screen enclosures — require soft washing with low pressure and specialized solutions.

Yes, when done wrong. Too much pressure strips paint, etches concrete, tears screens, and destroys roof shingles. That's why we match the technique to the surface — soft washing for anything delicate, pressure washing only where it belongs. Hiring trained technicians isn't a luxury here; it's the difference between a clean property and a damage claim.

When done properly, yes. We use biodegradable detergents, control runoff, and protect landscaping during every job.

You can — but rented equipment, the wrong nozzle, or the wrong technique can cause more damage than you're trying to clean. Most homeowners who try DIY end up calling a professional anyway, usually after stripping paint off siding or etching their concrete.

Pricing depends on the size of the property, the surfaces being cleaned, and the level of buildup. Most residential quotes are sent the same business day after you send us a photo. Commercial pricing is built around a written scope of work — call us for an on-site assessment.

Soft washing uses low pressure with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean roofs, siding, painted surfaces, and screened enclosures. Pressure washing uses higher pressure with a surface cleaner for hard surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and concrete. We use both — the surface determines the method, not the other way around.

Move outdoor furniture and fragile items away from the work area, close all windows and doors, and keep pets and kids inside while we work. We'll handle plant protection and outlet covers.

Yes. Purple Wash is licensed and insured in the state of Florida, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Certificates of insurance are available on request for any commercial client.

Yes. Homeowners can join Wash Club for scheduled exterior cleaning at member rates throughout the year. Commercial properties can enroll in the Purple Wash Maintenance Program — a written scope, fixed schedule, and locked-in annual price built around your property.

Yes. We pre-rinse and protect plants, flowers, and shrubs before applying any cleaning solution, and rinse the surrounding area when we're done. Healthy landscaping should never be a casualty of a pressure washing job.

Most residential jobs take 2–4 hours depending on the home size and services scheduled. Commercial jobs vary based on scope — we'll give you a clear time estimate before we start so you can plan around it.
