Pressure & Soft Washing in Jensen Beach, FL
Salt air, algae, and Florida mildew build up fast on Jensen Beach driveways, pool decks, walkways, and exterior walls — especially on properties near Hutchinson Island where marine air deposits are heaviest. KB Painting & Refinishing provides pressure washing and soft washing in Jensen Beach using the right method for each surface, protecting your home while removing what a garden hose never can.
Local insight
Jensen Beach's proximity to the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic means algae and mildew colonize exterior surfaces faster here than a few miles inland. Soft washing — low pressure with a biodegradable algaecide solution — is the correct method for painted stucco, screen enclosures, and coquina surfaces; high-pressure rinsing alone just drives the organism deeper and can damage the substrate.
Pressure washing and soft washing in Jensen Beach, FL
A Jensen Beach home’s exterior can look dramatically different after a thorough wash — what appears to be faded or stained paint is often just years of algae, salt deposit, and mildew sitting on the surface. Before repainting, or simply as part of regular exterior maintenance, professional washing restores the look of a property and extends the life of whatever coating is on it.
We serve Jensen Beach homeowners from the beach cottages near Tiger Shores to the CBS block homes along the Jensen Beach Boulevard corridor and the condominium buildings along Riverview Drive. Each surface type gets the right method.
Pressure washing vs. soft washing — knowing the difference
Not every surface can handle high-pressure water. Painted stucco, screen enclosures, wood soffits, and aging concrete can be damaged by excessive pressure. Soft washing uses a low-pressure pump to apply a biodegradable cleaning solution — typically a surfactant and algaecide — that kills mildew and algae at the root rather than just blasting the surface. The solution dwells, then gets rinsed at low pressure. Results last significantly longer than a straight pressure wash on biological growth.
We pressure wash at appropriate PSI for: concrete driveways, pavers, pool decks, and exposed aggregate. We soft wash: stucco walls, painted block, screen rooms, roof surfaces (where accessible), and wood fences.

Questions Jensen Beach homeowners ask
Should I pressure wash before repainting my stucco exterior? Yes — always. Painting over algae, mildew, or salt deposit is one of the most common causes of premature paint failure in Jensen Beach. We include a soft wash as part of our standard exterior painting prep, and we also offer it as a standalone service if you just want the exterior refreshed without a full repaint.
Is soft washing safe for the screen enclosure on my Jensen Beach lanai? Done correctly, yes. We use very low pressure on screen panels and aluminum framing, and the cleaning solution we apply is biodegradable and won’t harm pool water or landscaping when rinsed. We’ve cleaned screen enclosures throughout the area, including the larger pool-cage structures common in Jensen Beach condo communities.

Common questions
What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing, and which does my roof need?
Pressure washing uses high-force water to strip hard surfaces like concrete driveways and pavers. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution — it's what your roof, stucco, and painted siding need. High pressure on a shingle or stucco surface can lift material and void manufacturer warranties, so we always match the method to the surface.
How long does a driveway or paver wash stay clean in South Florida's climate?
In our humidity and heat, algae and mildew can return to untreated concrete within six to twelve months. Applying a concrete sealer after washing extends that significantly — we can discuss sealing as an add-on when we walk your project. Roof soft-wash treatments with our algaecide solution typically suppress regrowth for two to three years.
Do you wash surfaces before every exterior paint job, or is it a separate service?
Washing is part of our standard prep on every exterior repaint — we never paint over a dirty surface. If you just need washing without painting, we offer it as a standalone service. Either way, the same crew that paints your home handles the washing, and the work is backed by our five-year workmanship warranty.
