If your driveway has gone gray, your pool deck is slick, or there's a green film creeping up the north side of the house, you're seeing what Florida's heat and humidity do to outdoor surfaces. Mildew, mold, and algae grow fast here, and they don't wash off in the rain.
It's more than looks. Algae makes walkways, steps, and pool decks slippery — a real fall risk for kids and older family members. Mildew holds moisture against paint and siding, which shortens the life of your exterior paint job.
Most Bradenton and Sarasota homes do well with a pressure wash once a year, and shady or waterfront properties often need it every six months. Driveways, sidewalks, lanais, pool decks, fences, and siding are the usual list.
The right pressure matters. Concrete can take a lot, but soft surfaces like stucco, painted siding, wood, and screens can be damaged by too much force. A professional adjusts pressure and technique to each surface so the grime comes off and the surface stays intact.
Pressure washing also makes a huge difference before selling or renting a home — it's one of the cheapest ways to boost curb appeal. Call DMR at (863) 722-6351 for a free estimate. New clients get 10% off.
