Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing — Questions Answered

For most South Florida homes, we recommend professional window cleaning every 3–4 months. Homes within a mile of the ocean or a waterway need cleaning every 2–3 months due to salt air deposits that etch into glass over time. Florida's high humidity, afternoon rain, pollen, and year-round sun all accelerate buildup compared to other parts of the country.

Window cleaning at Pro Exterior starts at $124. A typical single-story home with 15–20 windows usually runs $175–$275. Two-story homes typically run $275–$425 depending on window count and accessibility. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate before starting — pricing is always clear and upfront with no surprises.

Yes. Our standard window cleaning service includes both interior and exterior glass. We're careful with your furniture, blinds, and floors when working inside. We ask that an adult be present during interior cleaning for access and a walk-through at completion.

Absolutely. We have the equipment and training to safely clean windows on two- and three-story homes. Multi-story access is factored into your quote. We use water-fed poles and extension equipment to reach upper-level windows safely.

Standard cleaning removes most buildup, dirt, and light mineral deposits. For stubborn hard water stains — white, chalky spots from sprinkler overspray or mineral-rich water — we offer a specialized hard water stain removal treatment. We'll assess during the estimate and let you know if this extra step is needed.

For exterior-only cleaning, you don't need to be home — we send before-and-after photos. For interior cleaning, we ask that an adult be present during the service. We work around your schedule to find a convenient time.

Yes. We regularly clean impact-resistant windows throughout our service area. Impact glass requires a gentler cleaning technique to avoid micro-scratching the protective coating. Our team is trained for South Florida's common window types: impact glass, jalousie, casement, sliding, and large picture windows.

Yes. Screen cleaning is included at no extra charge as part of our standard window cleaning service. We remove, clean, and reinstall all window screens. Pool cage and lanai screen cleaning is available as a separate service.

Clean rainwater doesn't leave spots — it's the minerals from sprinkler systems and existing buildup that causes streaking. If it rains after your cleaning, your windows stay clean. Rainwater rinses off clean glass without residue. We schedule around heavy weather when possible, and we stand behind our results.

A single-story home with 15–20 windows takes about 1.5–2.5 hours for a full interior and exterior clean. A larger two-story home takes 3–4 hours. We work efficiently and thoroughly — never rushing at the expense of quality.

For interior cleaning: remove items from window sills, make sure windows are unlocked, and move furniture blocking window access. For exterior-only cleaning, nothing is needed on your end. We handle everything from there.

Pressure washing starts at $175 for a standard driveway. A full driveway and walkway package for an average home runs $175–$300. Full exterior house washing starts at $225 for a single-story home and $325–$525+ for larger two-story homes depending on square footage and surface condition. Free estimates always.

Soft washing uses low water pressure (under 500 PSI) combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely remove mold, algae, mildew, and organic staining. It's used on stucco, painted surfaces, roofs, wood, and lanai screens where high pressure would cause damage. Pressure washing uses high PSI (1,500–4,000) for hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and pavers. We use the right method for each surface.

High-pressure washing absolutely can damage stucco — chipping the surface, forcing water behind the exterior, and causing costly repairs. That's why we always use soft washing on stucco homes. Our cleaning solution safely breaks down mold and algae without blasting the surface. Never allow a company to use high pressure on your stucco exterior.

A standard driveway and walkway takes 1–2 hours. A full house wash for a single-story home typically takes 2–3 hours. Larger properties or heavily soiled surfaces may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.

We use biodegradable, eco-friendly solutions and protect your landscaping throughout the process. Before applying any soft wash solution, we pre-wet surrounding plants and soil. After the service, we thoroughly rinse all plants and grass in the treatment area. Properly applied, our solutions do not harm established landscaping.

Close all windows and doors tightly. Move outdoor furniture, potted plants, and decorations away from the house. Move vehicles out of the driveway. Keep pets and children inside during the service. We cover any exposed electrical outlets before starting — the rest is handled by our team.

Yes. Pool cage and lanai screen cleaning is one of our most popular services in South Florida. We soft wash the entire structure — frame, screens, and surrounding deck — removing mold, algae, and green buildup at low pressure so screens aren't damaged. A clean pool cage makes an enormous difference in your outdoor living space.

When done correctly with soft washing, roof cleaning is completely safe for tile, shingle, and metal roofs. We never use high pressure on roofs — that would break tile, strip granules from shingles, and void manufacturer warranties. Our low-pressure soft wash system removes algae, moss, and lichen using the method recommended by the ARMA (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association).

Those black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa magma — a hardy airborne algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles and thrives in Florida's heat and humidity. It spreads from roof to roof across neighborhoods. Left untreated, it significantly shortens roof life. Our soft wash roof cleaning kills the algae at the root and restores your roof's original appearance.

Gutter cleaning starts at $99 for a single-story home. Two-story homes typically run $150–$200 depending on linear footage. We clean out all debris, flush the gutters and downspouts, and check for proper drainage. We can combine gutter cleaning with window cleaning or roof washing on the same visit for greater efficiency.

We recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year in South Florida: once before hurricane season (May/June) to ensure drainage is clear, and once in late fall after the rainy season. Homes with large trees overhanging the roofline may need cleaning 3–4 times a year. Clogged gutters in Florida's heavy rains cause fascia rot, foundation damage, and roof leaks.

We serve all of Martin County (Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Indiantown, Sewall's Point, Jupiter Island, Rio), all of St. Lucie County (Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Tradition, St. Lucie West, White City, Lakewood Park), and Palm Beach County (Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Greenacres, Riviera Beach, and more). For large commercial projects, we'll travel anywhere in Florida.

Yes. Pro Exterior is fully licensed and insured in the State of Florida. We carry general liability insurance on every job. Always ask any contractor for proof of license and insurance before allowing work on your property — we're happy to provide ours.

Yes. We work with numerous HOAs, condo associations, and property management companies across Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach Counties. We understand HOA compliance cleaning requirements and can service multiple units or common areas efficiently. Ask about multi-property pricing.

Yes. We service retail storefronts, office buildings, restaurant exteriors, warehouses, and commercial properties throughout South Florida. Commercial projects are quoted based on size, access requirements, and service frequency. We work around your business hours to minimize disruption.

We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. Payment is due upon completion of the service unless otherwise arranged for recurring or commercial accounts.

South Florida's year-round warmth means exterior cleaning is effective any time. Many homeowners schedule in spring (March–May) to clean after pollen season and prepare for summer humidity, and in fall (October–November) after hurricane season to remove storm grime. We recommend a regular schedule rather than waiting for things to look dirty — preventive cleaning costs less than restoration cleaning.
