Pensacola and surrounding areas
In addition to standard pressure washing, we offer soft washing for delicate surfaces like roofs and siding. Here are the answers to what we get asked most.
Straight answers about how we wash, what to expect on the day, and where we work.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast intense grime off durable surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses gentle water pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions. This low-pressure technique safely removes organic growth without causing structural damage.
Why is soft washing recommended for Pensacola homes?
Coastal properties need specialized care because of the intense humidity and salt air. High pressure can crack vinyl siding, tear window screens or strip away protective paint. Our targeted soft washing method cleans surfaces gently while preserving your exterior materials.
Will high-pressure washing damage my Florida roof?
Using excessive water pressure on your roof can dislodge the protective granules on your shingles. It can also void your manufacturer warranty. At Hardy Power Washing, we use only low-pressure soft washing on roofs to remove black algae streaks safely.
What are those black streaks on my roof?
Those dark streaks are a resilient blue-green algae that feeds on the limestone filler found inside modern shingles. Our professional treatment goes after the living algae itself, not just the stain, to help protect your roof.
How often should I pressure wash my property in Florida?
Most residential exteriors benefit from an annual cleaning to keep mold growth in check. High-traffic commercial concrete often needs cleaning every other month or every quarter. Humid coastal weather speeds up organic buildup, so routine maintenance matters.
Are your cleaning solutions safe for my lawn and plants?
Our biodegradable cleaning detergents are safe for the surrounding environment. We pre-wet plants and rinse them thoroughly afterward to protect delicate flowers, and we take care to keep your lawn healthy throughout the cleaning.
Do I need to be home during the service?
No, you do not need to be home while we wash the property. We simply ask that you close all windows and unlock your exterior gates. Please also keep your pets safely indoors for the day.
Can you pressure wash my house in the rain?
Light Florida rain does not get in the way of our exterior cleaning schedule. Surfaces get wet during the process anyway, so a drizzle does not change the results. We reschedule only for heavy downpours or dangerous lightning storms.
Why should I hire a professional instead of doing DIY pressure washing?
Inexperienced operators can easily gouge expensive wood decks or strip concrete surfaces, and windows can break without the right equipment or experience. Hiring Hardy Power Washing saves you time and helps you avoid costly damage to your home.
Do you clean gutters?
Yes. We flush and clean gutters, brighten stained gutter exteriors, and flush downspouts. Each can be booked on its own or alongside a house or roof wash.
Do you offer anything besides washing?
Yes. We also do lawn care, including mowing, edging, trimming and leaf cleanup, along with small flower bed and small tree jobs.
