Professional soft washing for Port St. Lucie homes, with careful property protection and a cleaning approach built for the exterior conditions we see here every day.
House Washing Starting at $279
If you’ve started noticing green buildup on one side of your house, dark areas around the bottom of the stucco, dirty soffits, cobwebs around the eaves or buildup around your windows, you’re seeing the same conditions we regularly find on homes throughout Port St. Lucie.

In our experience cleaning Port St. Lucie homes, north-facing walls are commonly among the first areas to show visible algae and organic growth. Shaded areas behind shrubs and landscaping can also develop heavier buildup because they receive less sunlight and airflow.
Florida’s exterior conditions don’t affect every part of a home equally.
That’s why AquaFlow looks at the whole property before we start cleaning.
Warm temperatures, moisture, frequent rain, irrigation, shade and Florida humidity can all contribute to exterior buildup.
But what matters to a homeowner is where that buildup actually shows up.
One of the most common patterns we see is heavier green organic growth on north-facing portions of the home.
These areas generally receive less direct sunlight and can remain damp longer than more exposed surfaces.
Shrubs and established landscaping can create shaded areas with reduced airflow.
We frequently see heavier buildup along the lower portions of stucco walls behind or near landscaping.
Protected areas around soffits, eaves, corners and entryways commonly collect dirt, cobwebs, spider webbing and insect-related buildup.
Exterior window frames and sills can collect dirt and organic growth. We also see buildup developing in the space between exterior screens and the glass when those areas haven’t been cleaned regularly.
These aren’t unusual problems in Port St. Lucie. They’re the reason routine exterior maintenance makes such a noticeable difference.
Stucco is the exterior surface we encounter most often when washing homes around Port St. Lucie.
It also isn’t something we believe should simply be blasted with more pressure when it gets dirty.
AquaFlow uses professional soft-washing equipment and adjusts the cleaning approach to the surface and conditions we’re dealing with.
Our philosophy is simple:
Let the proper cleaning solution, dwell time and water volume do the work instead of relying on unnecessary pressure.
That’s especially important when we’re working around painted stucco, trim, soffits, windows, landscaping and the other surfaces that make up the exterior of your home.

Learn About Our House Washing ProcessThis is one of the biggest reasons we inspect a property before cleaning it.
A green wall, chalky paint, orange irrigation stain and black gutter streak aren’t necessarily four versions of the same problem.
They can require very different expectations and treatments.
Green and dark organic buildup
Addressed by a normal house washCommon on shaded stucco and around landscaping
Green and dark organic buildup is common on shaded stucco, around landscaping and in areas that stay damp longer.
This is the type of buildup a normal house wash is primarily designed to address.
Faded surface or chalky residue
Evaluated firstShouldn’t automatically be treated like algae
If an exterior surface looks faded or leaves a chalky residue, we may be looking at oxidation rather than ordinary dirt.
Oxidation involves the condition of the coating itself and shouldn’t automatically be treated like algae.
Orange irrigation or rust staining
Evaluated firstSignificant staining can require a dedicated stain-removal treatment
We regularly encounter irrigation-related staining around Florida properties.
Small common stains may sometimes be addressed during cleaning, while significant irrigation or rust staining can require a dedicated stain-removal treatment.
Dark vertical streaks on the gutter face
Evaluated firstEstablished striping can require separate gutter brightening
Those dark vertical streaks running down the face of gutters are commonly called tiger stripes.
A normal house wash cleans the exterior gutter face, but established tiger striping can require a separate gutter-brightening process.
We’ve also seen older gutter finishes where staining and deterioration have progressed to the point that cleaning cannot completely restore the original appearance.
We’ll tell you what we’re seeing before promising what a cleaning can accomplish.
AquaFlow doesn’t arrive and immediately start spraying.
Before cleaning, we walk the exterior and look at the surfaces, existing conditions and anything that may require additional protection.
When appropriate, existing conditions are documented with photos.
That gives us an opportunity to identify potential issues before cleaning starts instead of explaining them afterward.
We’re looking for things such as:
Cleaning the house is only half the job. Protecting everything around it matters too.
Before applying cleaning solution, we protect sensitive exterior areas such as outlets, doorbells, locks and other components as appropriate.
Landscaping is pre-wet and kept wet throughout the cleaning process.
Our professional soft-wash system allows us to remotely switch between cleaning solution and fresh water so we can manage application, rinsing and property protection throughout the job.
Depending on the property and conditions, we can also use additional landscape-protection or neutralization measures.
Our basic process is:
We evaluate the property and document important existing conditions.
Sensitive exterior areas and landscaping are prepared before cleaning.
The appropriate cleaning solution is applied and allowed proper dwell time.
The exterior and surrounding areas are thoroughly rinsed.
We inspect our work and address areas requiring additional attention.
Our goal is to clean the exterior of the home as a whole—not just spray the green spots you can see from the driveway.
A typical AquaFlow house wash can include:
Lanai walls and ceilings can also be included when readily accessible or when personal belongings have been moved away from the cleaning area. If AquaFlow needs to move personal belongings to access those areas, additional labor may apply.
We thoroughly rinse the exterior glass during house washing and clean the exterior frames and sills.
If you want the glass professionally detailed as well, Exterior Window Cleaning is available separately and can be bundled with your house wash.
Explore Exterior Window CleaningYour property’s actual condition should ultimately determine the schedule.
For homeowners who want to maintain a consistently clean exterior, AquaFlow recommends house washing approximately every six months.
At a minimum, we generally recommend cleaning the exterior once per year.
GuideHow Often Should You Wash Your House in Florida? A Homeowner’s Guide
Why the difference?
A home with significant shade, dense landscaping, a north-facing wall that stays damp or frequent irrigation exposure can begin showing buildup faster than a more open property with greater sunlight and airflow.
You don’t necessarily have to wait until the entire house looks dirty.
Regular maintenance helps address buildup while it’s developing rather than waiting for the exterior to become heavily soiled.

Your exact estimate depends on factors such as:
We’ll look at the property, explain what we recommend and provide a clear price before the work begins.
If you’re already planning to clean your driveway, patio or exterior windows, ask about bundled pricing.
We may also be able to offer savings when neighboring properties schedule cleaning together, since we’re already set up in the area.
Our Exterior Refresh Package is designed for homeowners who want more than just the exterior walls cleaned.
Roof cleaning is not part of the Exterior Refresh Package, but it can be quoted separately and bundled into a larger exterior cleaning project.
That means you can take care of several exterior maintenance needs during one scheduled visit rather than arranging them separately.
AquaFlow Pro Wash is a local, firefighter-owned exterior cleaning company.
We’ve washed homes throughout Port St. Lucie, and one thing becomes obvious when you work on enough properties here:
No two homes weather exactly the same way.
One home may have heavy growth behind mature landscaping.
Another may have a north-facing stucco wall turning green while the front still looks clean.
Another may have gutter tiger striping, irrigation stains or aging paint that needs to be identified before anyone promises that washing will restore it.
Our approach is straightforward:
Look at the property first. Protect it properly. Use the appropriate cleaning method. Take the time to do the job right.
That’s the AquaFlow standard.
AquaFlow provides residential house washing throughout Port St. Lucie, including homes in and around areas such as:
Whether you’re maintaining a newer home or cleaning an established property that has accumulated years of Florida exterior buildup, we’ll base the cleaning approach on the actual home in front of us rather than treating every property the same.
North-facing and heavily shaded walls generally receive less direct sunlight and can stay damp longer. On homes we clean around Port St. Lucie, these are commonly among the first areas where we notice visible algae and organic growth.
Stucco is the exterior surface we encounter most often around Port St. Lucie. Instead of relying on excessive pressure, AquaFlow uses professional cleaning solutions, appropriate dwell time and water volume. We also inspect the condition of the surface and coating before cleaning.
For homeowners who want to maintain a consistently clean exterior, AquaFlow generally recommends house washing about every six months. At minimum, we recommend approximately once per year. Shade, landscaping, irrigation, sun exposure and how quickly buildup returns can affect the ideal schedule for an individual home.
Normal house washing cleans and rinses exterior gutter faces. Established tiger striping can require a separate gutter-brightening treatment. We’ll evaluate the condition of the gutters and explain what can reasonably be expected before additional treatment.
Not necessarily. Oxidation is different from ordinary dirt and organic growth because it involves the condition of the exterior coating itself. We inspect questionable areas before cleaning so we can set realistic expectations.
Yes. Exterior window frames and sills are included in our normal house-washing process, and exterior glass is thoroughly rinsed. We also pay attention to buildup around exterior screens. Detailed exterior window cleaning is available separately when you want the glass professionally finished.
No. As long as we have the necessary access and the property has been prepared as discussed, you don’t have to stay home. We’ll notify you when we arrive and when the work is completed.
Make sure your exterior windows are closed and move anything we’ve discussed during scheduling or the estimate. We’ll let you know beforehand if your particular property requires any additional preparation.
Light scattered showers don’t necessarily stop us from cleaning. We stop for lightning or unsafe conditions. If weather prevents us from completing the work properly, we’ll coordinate a return or reschedule.
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.
Whether you’ve just started noticing green buildup on the stucco or you’ve been putting off cleaning for longer than you’d like, we’ll take a look and tell you what we recommend.
No pressure. No guessing about what your home actually needs.
