House Washing in Gainesville, FL

Soft Wash House Washing in Gainesville

Gainesville’s heat, humidity and shade make it easy for mold, mildew and algae to take hold on the outside of a home. Green film on the north side, black spots under the eaves and gray streaks on stucco are all signs it’s time for a wash. Pressure Pros LLC cleans homes across Gainesville and North Central Florida with a low-pressure soft wash that gets siding clean without damaging it.

We’re firefighter-owned and operated, licensed and insured, and the owner is on site for every job. A typical 2,000 sq ft home starts around $400, and every quote is free.

Why We Soft Wash Instead of Pressure Washing Siding

High pressure can etch stucco, strip paint, crack window seals and force water behind vinyl siding, where it leads to hidden moisture problems. It also only blasts off the surface layer of growth, so the stains come back quickly.

Soft washing uses about the pressure of a garden hose with a professional cleaning solution matched to the surface. The solution kills mold, mildew and algae at the root, then rinses away, leaving the home cleaner for longer. It’s the method siding and paint manufacturers prefer, and it’s safe for windows, screens and trim.

Siding We Clean

• Vinyl siding: removes green algae and black mildew without forcing water behind the panels.
• Stucco: lifts the dark streaks and spotting stucco collects in shady areas, without etching the finish.
• Brick and stone: cleans mortar joints and porous surfaces where growth hides.
• Painted wood and fiber cement (Hardie board): gentle enough for painted surfaces and trim.
• Soffits, fascia, eaves and porches: where cobwebs, mildew and wasp nests collect.

Our House Washing Process

1. Walk-around: we look at the siding, staining, landscaping, outlets and fixtures, and answer your questions.
2. Prep: we protect plants and landscaping and close or cover anything that needs it.
3. Soft wash application: a cleaning solution matched to your siding is applied at low pressure and given time to work.
4. Detail work: eaves, soffits, porches, entryways and problem spots get extra attention.
5. Rinse and final check: the home and landscaping are rinsed, and we walk the property with you before we leave.

Most homes are finished in a few hours. We’ll explain each step before we start, and you’ll be dealing with the owner the whole time.

House Washing FAQ

How much does house washing cost in Gainesville?

A soft wash for a typical 2,000 sq ft home starts around $400. Price depends on size, number of stories, siding type and how much growth there is. Quotes are always free.

How often should I wash my house in Florida?

Most North Central Florida homes look best with a wash about once a year. Homes with heavy shade, nearby trees or north-facing walls may need it more often. A maintenance plan keeps it on schedule.

Is soft washing safe for my plants, pets and windows?

Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure, and we take steps to protect your landscaping and rinse thoroughly when we’re done. It’s safe for windows, screens and trim, and we’ll walk you through the process before we start.

Will house washing damage my siding or paint?

Not with soft washing. Low pressure won’t etch stucco, strip paint or force water behind vinyl. That’s why we don’t use high pressure on siding.

Most homes take a few hours, depending on size, stories and how much cleaning is needed.
