Exterior Cleaning FAQ
Answers to the questions homeowners ask us most — about quotes, methods, roofs, pavers, windows, pool cages, and more. Don’t see yours? Ask Adam directly.
Quotes & Scheduling
How do I get a quote?
Call Adam at (772) 448-1670 or start a chat on this page. Tell us what you’d like cleaned and, if you can, send a few photos. We do our best to quote within 24 hours, and in most cases we can give you an instant quote. Some jobs need a quick walk-through of the property first.
Are quotes free?
Yes. Quotes are always free, with no obligation.
Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?
Yes — the AquaFlow Satisfaction Promise. We hold our work to a high standard. If you point out an area we’ve agreed to clean that needs additional attention, we’ll address it. If we’re faced with an unusual stain or surface condition, we’ll take the time to identify what we’re dealing with and determine the appropriate treatment or next step.
How much does pressure washing cost?
It depends on the size of the property, which surfaces you want cleaned, how much buildup there is, and how easy the areas are to reach. Rather than guess, we look at your property and give you a clear price before any work starts.
How much does roof cleaning cost?
Roof cleaning starts at $350. Pricing depends on square footage, roofing material, and slope. We always do our best to give fair pricing, and you’ll get an exact quote before any work starts. See roof cleaning.
How long does a job take?
It depends on the size of the property and the services you choose. We’ll give you an idea of timing with your quote.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. For most exterior work we just need access to the areas being cleaned — gates unlocked and pets inside. We’ll confirm what we need when we schedule.
What happens if it rains?
If the weather makes the work unsafe or would affect the result, we’ll contact you to reschedule.
Do you offer recurring service?
Yes. Many homeowners schedule regular exterior cleaning so buildup never gets a head start. Ask about it when you request your quote.
Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing
What’s the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses higher-pressure water for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, sidewalks, and pavers. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution for surfaces that can’t take force — roofs, stucco, painted siding, screens, and pool cages. We use the right method for each surface, so you don’t have to decide.
Will cleaning damage my paint, stucco, or roof?
Not when the right method is used. Painted surfaces, stucco, roofs, and screens get low-pressure soft washing — never a high-pressure blast.
Are your cleaning solutions safe for my plants and pets?
We use biodegradable cleaning solutions and handle them carefully. Landscaping is pre-wet before cleaning and rinsed afterward, and we ask that pets stay inside while we work.
Is “power washing” the same as pressure washing?
Yes — the two terms are used the same way. What matters more is choosing the right pressure and method for each surface.
Roof Cleaning
What are the black streaks on my roof?
Usually a type of algae (Gloeocapsa magma) that thrives in Florida’s heat and humidity. It spreads across tile and shingle roofs and gets worse on shaded sides.
Is soft washing safe for tile and shingle roofs?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that treats the algae itself, so tiles aren’t cracked or eroded and shingles don’t lose granules to high pressure.
How often should a roof be cleaned in Florida?
It depends on shade, nearby trees, and exposure. Many roofs need cleaning every few years; shaded or waterfront homes may need it sooner. We’ll tell you what we see.
House Washing
How often should I wash my house?
Many Florida homeowners wash once a year. Shaded walls, north-facing sides, and homes near the water may need it more often.
Can you remove the green streaks on my stucco?
Yes. Green and black streaks are organic growth, and a low-pressure house wash with the right cleaning treatment removes them without blasting the stucco.
Can you remove orange rust stains from irrigation?
Often, yes. Rust from well-water irrigation needs a different treatment than dirt or algae, and results depend on how long the stain has been there. Mention rust when you ask for a quote so we can evaluate it.
Pavers & Driveways
Should I seal my pavers?
Sealing helps protect the finish, holds joint sand in place, and can enrich the color of clean pavers. It won’t stop weeds forever or make pavers maintenance-free — we’ll explain what it can and can’t do for your pavers.
Can you seal over old sealer?
Not without checking it first. Existing coatings can cause problems, so we identify what’s on the pavers before recommending a sealer.
Will driveway cleaning remove oil and tire marks?
Tire marks and general grime usually clean up well. Oil, rust, and paint are specialty stains that may need separate treatment and may not come out completely. See driveway & concrete cleaning.
Window Cleaning
Do you clean windows inside and out?
Yes — interior and exterior glass, plus screens, tracks, and sills.
Can you remove hard water spots?
Yes. Sprinkler and hard water spots are common in South Florida. We treat them with cleaning agents that don’t damage the glass.
Pool Cages & Screens
Do you clean pool cages and screen enclosures?
Yes — cage frames, screens, doors, tracks, pool decks, and lanai walls and ceilings, using low pressure on screens and frames.
Will cleaning tear my screens?
High pressure can, which is why we don’t use it on screens. Panels that are already torn or brittle can still fail, so we point out damaged screens before we start.
