Serving Westchase, FL and nearby towns
Shaded driveways, walkways and pool decks in Florida grow black mildew and algae quickly and can become slippery. Pre-treating the growth before washing, and post-treating after, keeps them clean longer than pressure alone.
Spring pollen season in Florida coats houses, cars, screens and patios in a yellow-green film, and pollen gives mildew something to feed on. Many homeowners book their wash after pollen season ends so the house stays clean longer.

Patio Cleaning: frequently asked questions
How much does patio cleaning cost in Westchase, FL?
Patio Cleaning typically costs $150-$400 for a typical backyard patio, and usually takes 1-2 hours. The exact price depends on the size and condition, and you get it before any work starts. Call (555) 010-0000 for a free quote.
Do you use high pressure for patio cleaning?
Patio Cleaning is done with pressure or low-pressure wash, depending on the surface. Low pressure and the right solution remove growth and dirt without damaging the surface, and the growth takes longer to come back.
Is patio cleaning safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule patio cleaning?
Once a year, more often in shade. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
