Rust, Algae, and Soft Washing
on Lake Wales Properties
Water drawn from wells and irrigation lines here runs iron-rich, leaving orange rust staining on driveways, walkways, and the bottom few feet of walls. Humidity and the heavy oak canopy over the older streets do the rest, loading roofs, shaded walls, fences, and flatwork with algae, mildew, and tannin streaking. Up on the sandy, well-drained Lake Wales Ridge, no two homes are surfaced quite alike, so each stains at its own pace and takes its own approach.
We match the method to the surface instead of raising the pressure. Most of a house gets a low-pressure soft wash, where the solution does the work instead of the water, so stucco and painted wood come clean and stay sound. Roofs get that same gentle treatment, and iron staining gets a dedicated rust treatment, which is why rust work and soft washing usually land on one visit.
If your driveway has gone orange or a shaded wall has gone green, call 863-338-6313 for a free estimate on your Lake Wales property and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect before we start.
Pressure Washing for Lake Wales
Homes and Businesses
Roughly four out of five of our jobs are residential, with a steady commercial side running alongside them. Same standards either way; scheduling is what changes.
Residential Pressure Washing
Across Lake Wales homes, we clean vinyl siding, block stucco, brick, metal, painted wood, concrete, and pavers.
- Residential Window Cleaning: Glass inside and out, with screens and tracks as add-ons.
- House Washing: A gentle soft wash that lifts growth without high pressure.
- Roof Cleaning: The ARMA-recommended method, applied at low pressure. We check the metal first. Galvalume darkens on contact with the cleaning agent, so it stays out of the wash.
- Driveway Cleaning: Standard driveways with the sidewalks included.
- Concrete Cleaning: Walkways, patios, and pool decks, brought back even. Oil we treat directly, and we set expectations first. It soaks into the concrete, so how much lifts depends on the stain’s age and prior treatment.
- Gutter Cleaning: Troughs cleared and downspouts flushed, one time or recurring.
- Fence Cleaning: Vinyl, composite, and painted surfaces, cleaned gently.
- Deck Cleaning: Soft washed, boards and railings alike. Lichen comes off, though the way it grips can leave a mark where it sat. We’ll show you first.
- Rust Removal: Irrigation and well-water iron staining, treated by an F9 BARC certified applicator.
- Solar Panel Cleaning: Purified water and soft brushes, keeping pressure and chemicals off the cells.
- Paver Sealing: Brick, concrete, natural stone, and travertine, sealed.
- Concrete Sealing: A protective seal once the concrete is clean.
Timing differs by service. Under the oaks gutters need clearing every three months, windows hold their look for three to six months, and a roof wash carries past a year.
Commercial Pressure Washing
Commercial work follows the same methods, with scheduling built around you.
- Commercial Window Cleaning: Interior and exterior glass up to four stories, post-construction included.
- Building Washing: Full facades, using the soft-wash approach scaled up.
- Awning Cleaning: Cleaned along with the building exterior.
- Parking Lot and Garage Cleaning: Large concrete and asphalt expanses, worked in sections.
- Dumpster Pad Cleaning: Degreased first, then surface cleaned.
- Apartment Complex Exterior Cleaning: Multi-building work, one area at a time.
- HOA Exterior Cleaning: Common structures and shared community property.
We handle retail and commercial buildings such as those on the US-27 corridor near Eagle Ridge Mall, apartment and multi-family complexes, and HOA-managed communities like the gated ones on the Ridge. Work is commonly scheduled after hours when a business needs to be closed. For complexes and HOAs we agree on a day-by-day plan with the property manager first, so residents get notice. The manager gets before-and-after photos as each area is finished.
Why Lake Wales
Homeowners Choose Us
Customers tend to mention the same handful of things, and those are the standards we hold on every job.
Faith-Led, Honest, and Personal
We’re a faith-led company, and it shows in how we deal with people. We lead with honesty and integrity, and we treat you the way we’d want to be treated. We’re not just cleaning houses; we’re helping families feel proud of where they live.
Our Owner Is on Every Job
Every estimate and every job is performed or personally overseen by our owner. The person who quotes your property is the person accountable for the work, so you always know who’s pulling into your driveway.
A Window Cleaner's Eye for Detail
We started as window cleaners, and the habit of checking small things came with us. Even in the middle of a pressure wash we’re watching your glass, the way a good chef wipes the edge of the plate before it goes out.
Four Years a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite
Our neighbors voted us a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite four years running, 2021 through 2024. That one comes straight from the people who live around the work.
We Protect What You Care About
Before any solution goes on, we pre-rinse and cover your greenery, protect outlets and fixtures, and plan around pets and kids. Your property comes first, so if a surface can’t be cleaned safely, we say so and work around it.
The Right Tools, Used the Right Way
We run high-volume 8–10+ GPM machines, soft-wash systems, and purified water-fed poles, and we’re a certified F9 BARC rust-removal applicator. A backup machine rides along on every job, so equipment trouble never moves your date.
How Our Lake Wales
Pressure Washing Works
Here’s how a job runs, from your first call to the follow-up a few days after we leave.
Let's Talk First
Reach out online or by phone. Our owner asks about the property and what’s bothering you most, and listens before quoting anything. Phones are answered Monday through Saturday.
On-Site Look and Photos
For accuracy, our owner prefers to look in person, take photos, and walk you through how the price is built: square footage, surface type, complexity, and distance. A simple single-service job, such as a standard driveway, can be quoted over the phone.
A Clear, Honest Estimate
You get a straightforward estimate that spells out everything the job includes, and a deposit reserves your date.
Reminders Before We Arrive
Ahead of the visit, automated text and email reminders go out with your arrival window and a short prep checklist, handled through The Customer Factor.
Protect, Clean, Communicate
Protection comes first: plants pre-rinsed and covered, outlets and doors taped off, pets kept inside. On houses the soft-wash solution goes on from the bottom up so gravity carries it down through the worst of the buildup, then we rinse from the top down. Block-stucco homes on the Ridge sometimes need a second pass to reach into the stucco’s ridges. Flat surfaces get a wide surface cleaner with a turbo nozzle for the driveway channel, glass and panels get a purified water-fed pole, and roofs get low pressure only. We usually connect to your water, which adds only a few dollars to your bill. If you can’t be on site, progress photos come through a secure link.
Final Walkthrough and Follow-Up
We walk the results with you, then send the invoice through the same secure link most customers pay from, and follow up with a thank-you a few days later.

Pricing
Pricing is built on square footage for houses and roofs, per unit for windows and solar panels, and a flat starting rate for gutters, driveways, and fences. Distance and surface complexity adjust it from there, and every estimate is free.
- House washing: Starting at $275 (about 16¢ per square foot; adjusted for height, surface, and distance)
- Roof cleaning, measured on the home’s footprint rather than the roof pitch: Shingle roofs around 26¢ per square foot; metal around 30¢; clay or tile 30–33¢ per square foot
- Driveway and concrete cleaning: Starting at $175 out the door for a standard driveway (sidewalks included). Oil, rust, and other non-organic staining add to that.
- Gutter cleaning: $175 one-time starting price; or a quarterly maintenance plan from $100 per visit (plus a small fuel charge)
- Window cleaning: Standard (flat) windows $4–$8 per pane in and out; French-pane $7–$14 per pane; casement around $10; large picture/floor-to-ceiling $14–$20; screens $5 each
- Fence and deck cleaning: Starting at $175 (vinyl); wood priced higher due to added time and chemistry
- Solar panel cleaning: $10 per panel
- Rust removal: Custom quote, priced by severity and surface (F9 BARC certified applicator)
- Paver sealing: Roughly $1–$2 per square foot
- Concrete sealing: Custom quote
- Commercial work: Custom quote, based on size, surface, and access; packages range from $175 to $1,900
A few ways to bring the total down:
- Up to 25% off when you bundle multiple services into one visit. Services are priced à la carte, so the more you choose, the bigger the discount.
- Free gutter cleaning with any roof wash.
- A 3-year price lock for loyal, recurring customers.
Lake Wales Maintenance Plan
A Maintenance Plan keeps your property on a set schedule so you never have to remember to call. Gutters are the most common one. From $100 per visit, we put you on a quarterly rotation and keep your gutters clear, one less thing to worry about. Windows go back on the calendar every three to six months, panels twice a year. Plan customers are the ones our 3-year price lock covers. Ask us about a maintenance plan. We’ll keep your property on a regular schedule so it always looks its best.

What Lake Wales
Customers Say
Proud to Serve
Lake Wales
Lake Wales holds onto its own character, from the quiet streets near the center of town down to the lakefront. We treat every property here the way we’d want ours treated. Our owner also spends part of every week doing Bible volunteer work, and that habit of showing up carries into the work we do for you.
You’ll find us around the spots that anchor the city:
- Bok Tower Gardens, up on Iron Mountain at the north edge of town
- Lake Wailes Park, the lakefront city park under its oak canopy
- Eagle Ridge Mall, the commercial anchor on US-27
Most of our work lands around downtown, the gated neighborhoods along the Ridge, the Crooked Lake and Lake Wailes lakefronts, and the newer subdivisions off the highway.
