House Washing Vero Beach FL — Mildew, Salt Damage & Oxidation Removed Without Stripping a Drop of Paint

In Vero Beach’s coastal climate, most homes benefit from exterior washing every 12–18 months. Homes near the Indian River Lagoon or ocean may need washing annually. Snowbird homes that sit empty May–October should be cleaned every October before the season.

Not with soft washing. High-pressure washing can strip paint and erode stucco. Soft washing uses biodegradable solution at low pressure — removes mildew chemically, not mechanically. We have cleaned hundreds of stucco and painted homes in Vero Beach without a single paint or surface damage claim.

Single-story homes (1,500–2,500 sq ft): $200–$350. Two-story homes: $350–$550. Full property packages (house + driveway + lanai): $400–$750. All estimates are free, written, and on-site. Before-and-after photo report included on every job.

Yes. We coordinate with property managers for access. Before-and-after photo report delivered to your email the day work is completed. Many snowbird clients book their October house washing from up north — their home is clean and HOA-compliant when they arrive.

Yes — do it 2–4 weeks before listing. Exterior cleaning is the highest-ROI pre-sale improvement. Joseph F. (Indian River Shores) had his exterior and driveway cleaned before listing — his realtor said it was the best curb appeal she had seen in months. Sold in 9 days.

We clean all exterior surfaces: stucco (most common in Vero Beach communities), brick, painted wood, vinyl siding, aluminum trim, eaves, soffits, window surrounds, and fences. For HOA compliance jobs we clean every visible exterior surface and document it in the before-and-after photo report. We do not clean windows (separate service) or roofs (separate pricing — see our Roof Cleaning page).

A standard single-story home exterior takes 2–4 hours from arrival to completion. Two-story homes run 3–5 hours. Full property packages (house + driveway + lanai) typically take a full day. We work until every surface is clean — we do not rush jobs or leave early. Before-and-after photos are taken at the start and end of every job.

No. Most of our jobs are completed while homeowners are away — especially snowbird properties. We need exterior access only. If you have a gate code or property manager contact, provide that when booking. Before-and-after photos are emailed to you the day the work is completed. If you’re coordinating from out of state, we handle everything with your property manager directly.

Yes — when done correctly. We pre-wet all landscaping, tropical plants, palms, hedges, and garden areas with clean water before applying any cleaning solution. Our biodegradable, phosphate-free solution breaks down within 4 hours of application. We specifically protect plants near the Indian River Lagoon watershed. In 5+ years of operation in Indian River County, we have never had a plant damage claim.

Soft washing uses biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure (under 500 PSI) to remove mildew, algae, and oxidation chemically — not mechanically. Pressure washing uses 2,000–4,000 PSI of water force, which can strip paint from wood siding, force water behind stucco causing interior moisture damage, and damage aluminum trim. For Vero Beach stucco and painted homes, soft washing is always the correct approach. High-pressure washing is appropriate only for concrete driveways and bare masonry.
