Pressure & Soft Washing in Boca Raton, FL
Pressure and soft washing in Boca Raton is priced from a free written estimate — the surfaces involved, square footage, and how established the algae or mildew is drive the cost, itemized before any work begins. The washing is done by KB Painting's own employees — never subcontractors — and in East Boca and the Intracoastal communities, where south- and west-facing sun and salt air accelerate growth, many homes benefit from washing twice a year instead of once. Soft washing for stucco, painted surfaces, and roof tiles; high pressure only where the surface can take it.
Local insight
Boca Raton's gated communities often have exterior appearance standards that include clean driveways, walkways, and building facades. Annual or biannual washing is the simplest way to stay in compliance before an HOA notice arrives — and it extends the life of paint and stucco finishes significantly.
Pressure and soft washing in Boca Raton
Algae and mold growth are not cosmetic issues in South Florida — they hold moisture against stucco and painted surfaces, accelerating breakdown of the coating underneath. By the time a Boca Raton home in a neighborhood like Broken Sound or Boca West shows visible green or black streaking on the exterior, the biological growth has usually been present for a full season or more. Washing before repainting is mandatory; washing on a regular maintenance schedule extends the time between repaints substantially.
Soft washing versus pressure washing
Not every surface should be hit with high-pressure water. Stucco, painted wood trim, roof tiles, and screen enclosures can all be damaged by direct high-pressure application. We use soft washing — lower pressure with a surfactant solution — on these surfaces, which kills the biological growth at the root rather than just blasting it off the surface. High-pressure washing is appropriate for concrete driveways, brick pavers, pool decks, and sidewalks where the surface can handle the force.
What we wash
Exterior building facades and stucco, driveways and parking areas, pool decks, walkways, screen enclosures, fences, and roof surfaces. We also offer pre-paint washing as part of every exterior painting project — the surface must be clean and dry before primer goes on for the coating to bond correctly.
Boca Raton neighborhoods we serve
We work regularly throughout East Boca, the Intracoastal communities, Old Floresta, and the large gated communities including Boca West, Broken Sound, Woodfield Country Club, and Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club.
Questions Boca Raton homeowners ask
How often should a Boca Raton home’s exterior be washed? In most of Boca Raton, once a year is a reasonable baseline. Homes in the East Boca / Intracoastal area that face south or west — with more direct sun exposure and salt air — often benefit from washing twice a year. Properties under dense tree cover with year-round shade can develop algae faster. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your specific situation during the estimate.
Will pressure washing damage my stucco or loosen the paint? Not if the right technique is used. High-pressure direct application to stucco or painted surfaces can absolutely cause damage — which is why we soft-wash those areas instead. Concrete and paver surfaces can handle higher pressure without risk. We assess each surface before we start so the right method is used on every area of your property.

How much does pressure washing cost in Boca Raton?
KB Painting prices Boca Raton washing projects from a free written estimate based on the surfaces involved — concrete driveways, brick pavers, and pool decks take high-pressure cleaning, while stucco, painted surfaces, and roof tiles need soft washing with a surfactant solution — plus square footage and how established the algae or mildew is. When washing is part of an exterior repaint, it is included in that project's written estimate rather than billed separately.
How often should a Boca Raton home be pressure washed?
In most of Boca Raton, once a year is a reasonable baseline. Homes in the East Boca and Intracoastal communities that face south or west — with more direct sun exposure and salt air — often benefit from washing twice a year, and in South Florida's heat and humidity, algae and mildew can return to untreated concrete within six to twelve months. KB Painting will give you an honest read on your property's schedule during the free estimate.
Does soft washing a Boca Raton roof actually keep the algae from coming back?
KB Painting soft-washes Boca Raton roofs with a low-pressure, biodegradable algaecide rinse that kills the growth at the root instead of blasting the surface film off — the black streaking on tile and shingle roofs is Gloeocapsa magma algae, and high pressure can lift material and void manufacturer warranties. A roof soft-wash treatment typically suppresses regrowth for two to three years.
